Hotels Chianti - Hotels in Siena
Hotels Chianti The Hotel Palazzo San Niccolò is located in Piazza Ferrucci, in the heart of the old town center of Radda in Chianti, a charming old town in the Siena countryside. Radda is surrounded by its medieval town walls and is filled with sumptuous sixteenth century palaces that look out onto the winding alleyways and picturesque little squares. The extremely old Pieve di Santa Maria Novella, full of several works of art, is particularly interesting.
The building that has been turned into the hotel, is one of the prettiest in the town, was recently renovated keeping the original structure and has sophisticated, exclusive communal spaces such as the large Hall and the meeting room that has been converted from an old wine cellar. The rooms still have the feel of the olden days that is part of the hotel, but at the same time they all have all modern comforts.
Hotels Chianti - About the location
The Siena Chianti area is one of the most renowned and charming in Tuscany. It has its typical, gently sloping hillsides, outlined by the rows of vines and interspersed here and there by pretty villages, medieval castles and old parish churches. Right in the heart of this wonderful area, we can find Radda in Chianti, known as the "vineyard village" because of its large-scale wine production and because it has been home to the Chianti Classico Consortium since 1924. The borough of Radda, the head of the Chianti League that dates back to the 13th century, stands at about 500 meters above sea level and reaches right across the high valley between the rivers Arbia and Pesa, surrounded by woods and hills. There are another two places near Radda that you cannot miss: the Pieve di San Giusto in Salcio and the Pieve di Santa Maria Novella.
