Chianti area hotels
 

Does anyone have information about the Leopoldo Hotel in Radda, Italy or the Vescine in the same area?

Hi!! Vescine is better, much better....

Thanks, Can you tell me any more about the hotel. and the difference between the two.

Hi Herb!<BR><BR>We stayed at Hotel San Sano near Gaiole in Chianti. Part of a tiny, tiny village on a hill (of course) in the middle of olive groves & vineyards. Completely untouristy. Just a few rooms in a restored stone building. Thick walls, original timbers in the ceilings, climbing vines. Breakfast included, dinner optional by advance reservation. Meals served in the front garden under the arbor. Absolutely perfect & charming little place. There's also a pool. <BR><BR>Village has a wonderful, family-run trattoria too. <BR>You can see them at www.chiantinet.it<BR><BR>Buon viaggio!

Herb:<BR>I have never heard nor seen anything about the Leopoldo hotel in Radda. However, I once looked at Vescine as a possible hotel for one of my sons, which sits pretty far outside Radda on a plain overlooking a beautiful valley. The room shown to me was on the small side and very attractively decorated. It appeared to be a quiet, restful place.<BR>Hope this helps.<BR>Carol L
