Wander through the ancients, narrow streets of Volpaia and you will be transported back in time. Nice tasting room - one of my favorite 'houses' in Chianti. Lovely little wine bar with a terrace and light plates right in the center of town. Stop for a glass of wine and enjoy the sights! More

There is a separate pool house with a bedroom and bathroom as well. The village - amazing! How often can you say you get to go to a centuries old village that has a working... More

A fortified Village of the 10th century perfectly preserved and truely engaged in the rural activity. Two thirds of the village, in fact, are part of the Castello di Volpaia winery, owned by the Mascheroni Stianti family, that also rents villas, appartments and organizes cellars' visits and cookery classes. In the village you can find a wineshop, two restaurants and... More
