Any wineries also a place to stay?
I am looking for a place to stay for a couple of nights in Chianti. I have been looking at web sites, and nothing is really grabing my attention. I am wondering if any of the vinyards/wineries double as a hotel. If not, does anyone have any suggestions where to stay. We will be driving from Florence and I dont want to go as far as Siena. We are thinking of staying 2 or 3 nights the end of May. Thanks for your help!!!

This is just outside of Greve. It also is a winery.

Lots of Chianti wineries offer accommodation in the form of B&B rooms, rooms with a kitchenette and full apartments. Many also have a swimming pool. If you want it to be a real working winery, the term you're looking for is "Agriturismo" - that's an official label. There's a good list of nice places on the web site of Greve in Chianti which is the market town of the Chianti Classico zone. www.greve-in-chianti.com
