If Chianti is on the list,
Capannelle Wine Resort makes a strong case for staying right inside the landscape rather than driving through it. In Gaiole in Chianti, the resort sits among vineyards, olive trees and cypresses, with a restored villa, a panoramic pool and just five rooms in total - four rooms and one suite.
The estate’s story starts in 1974, in one of Chianti Classico’s historic areas, and wine runs through everything here. There is a guided tasting room centred on a six-metre 16th-century table, a cellar built into the hill, and a winery known for bottles such as 50&50 and Solare.
This is the sort of place where a tasting easily turns into dinner, and dinner makes the overnight stay feel like the obvious next step. The villa, the views and the wine all seem to pull in the same direction.
