The castle: The Colognole Castle is the oldest castle in the Chianti region and, differently to the most castles in this area, has not undergone to various restorations over the centuries which have highlighted its original architectural features giving it a particular charm and giving its structure an aura of olden times. The castle itself is very picturesque, built in stone in a square hill overlooking Greve in Chianti. It has a peaceful and a dominating position in front of Montefioralle village. From the garden and the windows you have a magnificent, panoramic view of the rolling Chianti hills, olive groves and vineyards. The Colognole Castle is ideally located for short day trips to all of the sights of Tuscany. Florence is an hour away by car or reliable, comfortable bus service, the recommended way to visit the great city. Siena is about 1 hour and half by car.

The garden: From the garden and the windows you have a panoramic view over the surrounding green hills with olive trees and vineyards. The owners spent long time to choose particular type of plants from three generations. In early June, the wild jasmine and herbs in bloom, adding another magical touch.Read more
