Ruffino
Poggio Casciano, Ruffino’s hospitality hub and seven-room boutique hotel stands majestically in the Chianti Classico countryside just 30 minutes from Florence. Reflecting the Tuscan identity and Renaissance charm, the country chic rooms have vineyard views, look out over the Italian gardens or the enticing infinity pool. Tasting tours are available and the on-site Le Tre Rane restaurant serves up innovative Tuscan dishes that encapsulate beauty and goodness. The generous halls and attractive outdoor areas ensure count- less options for business and incentive events, as well as celebrations.

Castello di Albola
Near Radda in Chianti, staying at Castello di Albola gives you the option of choosing between two breath- taking villas: the beautiful 18th-century Villa Le Marangole, a place of boundless charm and rural elegance that consists of 6 double bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 as a full villa rental, and the smaller 15th-century Villa Crognole with a panoramic terrace and three doubles. A tour of the verdant vineyards, historic cellars and Chianti Classico wine tasting is all part of the experience.

Further south, Relais Il Falconiere & Spa is a feast for the senses with views of Under the Tuscan Sun’s picturesque Cortona as its back- drop. There’s something ethereal about the property owned by the Baracchi family since the mid-19th century: from the glittering bottles in the riddling station to the quietude of the spa and its wine-based treatments. The overriding feeling at Il Falconiere is passion, which is embodied by Silvia Regi Baracchi’s ever-evolving Michelin-starred cuisine. The rooms are elegantly rustic with thoughtful touches, while weddings, celebrations and teambuilding events are a guaranteed success.
