A hotel near Radda in Chianti - Tuscany wine country

Hotel Il Borgo di Vescine, Radda in Chianti

This hotel near Radda in Chianti is idyllically located right in the heart of Chianti Classico country. This is sun-kissed rolling countryside made up of vineyards and olive groves, wooded hills and sleepy villages. The business of the area is wine - look out for the roadside signs inviting you to drop in for a tasting and buy a case or two direct from the grower. Vescine itself is one of these sleepy hamlets, a collection of houses and farms dating back to the 13th century set high in the hills at 600 metres above sea level. Views from here are spectacular and Tuscany's major cultural centres of Florence and Siena both lie less than an hour's drive from here.

Il Borgo di Vescine has a peaceful atmosphere with 23 en-suite rooms, all with cable/satellite television, direct-dial telephone, refrigerated minibar and personal safe. The option of a full English breakfast is included in the price of your room and bathrooms are supplied with fluffy bathrobes and built-in hairdryers to ensure a comfortable home from home. Pets are welcome to join you here and rooms are comfortably air conditioned. In addition, this Chianti hotel has seven beautifully presented suites and all rooms overlook the 42-hectare park.
