A comfortable, well-appointed hotel at the edge of Chianti’s loveliest and best-placed village This is a hotel which grows on you. Don’t be put off by first impressions: an austere stone façade onto the road. Persevere past the enoteca to the courtyard, where wrought iron tables cluster around an old, oak-shaded well. Leading off this is a series of elegant drawing rooms, with massive stone hearths, inviting sofas and wall-paintings. Further down is the loggia, with its stupendous view over vine- and olive-lined valleys. But don’t stop there. One level lower lies the swimming pool, calm and panoramic and totally unexpected. Looking back you realise the hotel is a fusion of several buildings spilling down the hillside. Happily, nearly all the bedrooms face the valley. On your doorstep is the historic village of Radda, with fortress walls and churches to explore, and several restaurants to choose from, including the hotel’s acclaimed Vignale and its simpler, subterranean Tavern. Sitting on a forest-ringed hilltop midway between Greve, Castellina and Gaiole, Radda is the best base for exploring Chianti, and the Relais its most stylish accommodation.
