Relais Fattoria Vignale - Hotel Winery – Tuscany, Italy
Introduction
The Vignale Estate lies at one end of the
village of Radda in Chianti, and in its spacious grounds the great
Chianti Classico is still produced in abundance. The hotel has been
subtly and very tastefully converted from the estate's 19th century
stone manor house, whose original structure has remained unaltered.
Although the hotel is just a couple of minutes' walk from the
centre of the village, its 'back garden' is the undisturbed open
countryside of the Radda Valley, with its patchwork fields,
vineyards and olive groves, and this is the view that most of the
rooms here enjoy.
The hotel
The interiors are cosy, yet elegant, and the
hand-stencilled ceilings, pictures and murals on the walls, and
oriental rugs complement the pretty sitting rooms, which have
striking original features such as grand fireplaces, alcoves and
wooden beams. Behind the manor house, a flower-clad courtyard leads
out to the large pool in a wonderfully evocative setting,
overlooking the splendid valley below. In fine weather, breakfast
is taken in the shade of a leafy pergola; alternatively the house's
original cellar, with an arched brick ceiling and terracotta
floors, is used as the breakfast room.
At the hotel's winery, guests can taste the
very best in regional wines and food is also served here. The main
restaurant, also named Vignale, is situated 300 metres away and its
excellent Tuscan cuisine attracts local Italians as well as guests
of the hotel. The charming bedrooms, situated in two buildings,
overlook the valley or the hotel's gardens and mirrors, pictures
and elegant wooden furniture offset their pale walls. Connoisseurs
of good food and wine will greatly appreciate this sophisticated
country hotel.
