Fodor's Expert Review Castello di Spaltenna
Pieve di Spaltenna 13, Gaiole in Chianti, Tuscany, 53013, Italy Fodor's Choice
This rustic yet elegant lodging consists of a former convent (dating from the 1300s) and a Romanesque church; inside you'll find rooms with canopy beds, chiseled-stone fireplaces, and massage-jet tubs (in suites). Windows look out on the hills, woods, and vineyards. Dine by candlelight in the courtyard on sophisticated classics—carrè di agnello in crosta di noce (walnut-coated rack of lamb), for example—at the first-class restaurant.
PROS
- excellent service
- first-class restaurant on site
- views of hills, woods, and vineyards
CONS
- access to some rooms is via narrow stairways
- some rooms look over the interior courtyard
- a car is a necessity
