Chianti, on a hilltop

I would appreciate recommendations for a hotel in Chianti/Siena area that might have a view. Max~150E.

www.borgoargenina.it in Chianti or this one about an hour south www.lacosta.it in Montefollinico .
I was at both in Oct. and both have great views of Tuscan landscapes--take your camera.

Bob, I was looking at Borgoargenina for our family trip in July. Do you recommend it? Why made you choose this place?
Thanks in advance

If you want a Chianti location, it is hard to beat. Really nice setting--the rooms are good, Elena is a delight. The one negative is no dinner is served here and you must drive :15 to any decent places, if that is a big deal to you.

Thanks for your reply. I checked out the La Costa place, and it looks divine too. Great taste! Any personal recommendations for a castle to stay in? My kids would love that. Any location in Italy is fine

The Lacosta does indeed look very nice. However, it appears to be in the center of town, which might make parking a problem. Does is it have convenient parking of its own for guests with cars??
