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!!!

And I'm wondering if instead of waterbeds they are equipped with winebeds?

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

Rocca Delle Macie and Castello D'Albola both have wonderful accomadations. Actually apartments instead of just rooms. Both in the Chianti region.

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
