A vacation for two surrounded by the picturesque vineyards of Chianti, the promise of fabulous sunsets, endless vistas, classical Italian meals, superb Chianti Classico wine and exquisite Tuscan hospitality. These are the indisputable ingredients for a romantic adventure of a lifetime.
Our selection of the top romantic accommodations in Chianti below takes into consideration places that offer a special atmosphere with a historic setting or a whimsical decor including canopy beds and spa-style bathrooms. Not just the interiors but also exteriors that provide ample private nooks where you can hide away and indulge in some quiet moments making "forever" memories.
Romance is not just candle-lit dinners on panoramic terraces, though as the Italians would say, "non guasta" - it doesn't hurt to wine and dine under the Chianti stars. Romance can be found in those stolen moments walking around the Italian-styled garden, visiting the cantina from yesteryear or lazing in a private jacuzzi tub with the sun at your back.
