Caravaggio at Galenda, Gaiole in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

A Chianti Classico hamlet resort, Galenda's cottages lay on a ridge with magnificent views across rolling hills draped with olives and vines. The individually owned Tuscan stone structures, all with their own private garden/terrace and charming terracotta floors and ceilings, are tucked into a tree shaded wooded corner. The swimming pool, private to the resort, offers the chance of a daytime cooling dip by an amazing Chianti hills backdrop while night skys are no less spectacular, our advice? Sit back with a glass of Chianti wine, watch the wild life play and distant stars in the black sky.

Day trippers are spoilt for choice between Siena, Florence and San Gimignano. Walkers and bike riders will want to reach nearby Lecchi in Chianti to experience the warm welcome of Chianti village life. Foodies will have the Chianti towns of Radda and Gaiole in their sights for typical artisanal delights. There really is something for all at Galenda!
