Where you´ll find us

Podere Patrignone is ideally placed in the very heart of Chianti Classico, almost half-way between Florence and Siena. But despite being only 30-40 minutes from either cultural heavy-weight, we are deep in the Tuscan hills, far away from any noise or light pollution.

Here are some distances to key spots:

 And here are some distances to other things you might find useful:

The key attractions of San Gimignano, Radda, Volterra, Monetriggioni, and Colle Val D´Elsa are all within easy reach, along with dozens of top-quality vineyards and hundreds of fabulous restaurants. We are just 10 minutes from the beautiful hill-top town of Castellina in Chianti, with its full compliment of restaurants, cafes and shops (and a small supermarket).

There is no doubt that you´ll need a car to get the most of Chianti´s nooks and crannies, but if you feel like venturing further afield, within a 1¹/₂ hour drive you´ll find white sandy beaches, typically beautiful seaside resorts, dozens of hot springs, and the majesty of the snow-covered Apennines, clearly visible from Patrignone´s Terracotta Terrace. And if you´re into cycling, tennis, golf, ballooning or fishing, these activities and more can easily be organised. Just let us know what your interests are, and we´ll give you some options.
