Località Borgo Argenina, Gaiole in Chianti, Tuscany, 53013, Italy Fodor's Choice

Elena Nappa, a former interior designer, is now the consummate hostess at this centuries-old villa, which has old-fashioned guest rooms that are lovingly decorated with antique quilts and handmade wood furnishings yet modern appliances. Elena is an authority on the surrounding area, and happily draws maps and suggests wine-tasting and touring routes. Follow signs for San Marcellino Monti to get here.
