Tuscan Villas in Chianti
Chianti is an area of about 300 square kilometres of pure Tuscany between Siena and Florence. Long beloved by the English it has sometimes been known as Chiantishire after the many old Tuscan Poderi (farmhouses) that have been converted into beautiful Chianti Villas for rent.
The region is entirely hilly and covered in serried rows of vines, fields of Olive trees and dark forests of evergreen oak (Quercus Ilex), all punctuated by tall dark cypress trees. The hill towns of Radda, Castellina, Gaiole are all centres of excellence for wine production, with old castles and wine producing estates like Castello di Ama and Castello di Brolio - and hundreds of others - open for wine tasting and buying.
