A middle aged village half way between Florence and Siena along the Roman Cassia Road. Two restaurant in the center of the village with exquisite food and a breathtaking terrace panorama where you can eat at dinner. For not to mention its gorgeous sourrounding countryside and little villages.
Most of the fascinating aspect of the Chianti is all these very little group of country-man houses, once used by the "mezzadri" and now expensive residence for wealth people.
These places are best known for the excellent wine but I can assure the panoramas and landscapes going there are excellent as well.
