Il Poggetto Di Castellina

Tucked into the rolling hills of Castellina in Chianti, about 3 km from the town center. Close to Casa Vinicola Luigi Cecchi, Montecalvario, the Archaeological Museum of Chianti and Isole e Olena Winery. Day trips to Florence highlights like Piazzale Michelangelo, Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio are easily doable.

A small hotel with apartment-style rooms that lean rustic-Tuscan. Five guestrooms feature kitchenettes and private furnished patios. Expect satellite TV, microwaves and washing machines in some units — room equipment varies by category. The place has a relaxed countryside vibe with easy access to nearby vineyards.

Outdoor pool for cooling off after wine-tasting. An on-site, attached winery and barbecue grills set the mood for Chianti evenings. Free self-parking is available on the property and wedding services are offered for special events.

Complimentary wireless internet across the grounds and free on-site parking. Convenient for both leisure and business travelers heading to Siena (26 km) or Florence airport (61 km).

Sip local Chianti wines at the attached winery and gather around the barbecue area for simple, regional flavors. Kitchenettes in many rooms let you cook fresh market finds from the neighborhood.
