Hidden within the hills of Tuscany in the Chianti region is a little gem of a resort, Villa Curina.  This property has an excellent location and offers beautiful views of the Chianti countryside.  What a discovery!  I would not hesitate to stay here myself!  Surrounded by olive trees this little hamlet offers all the comforts of home with a pool, bar, tennis courts and all rooms have satellite TV, air conditioning, minibar, and safe.  All are decorated with antique furniture.

I now have a few more favorite hotels in this beautiful area of Italy:  Borgo Scopeto Relais.This is where they filmed the movie Letters to Juliet!  I can understand why!  Borgo Scopeto is a  Tuscan estate located in the Chianti hills that has been elegantly restored. Surrounded by vineyards and olive tree this place offers so much to those wishing to stay in the Tuscan countryside.  Those wishing to visit Siena, no problem!  You are only 10 miles from Siena.  You can rent mountain bikes, vespas, book a spa appointment, walk the hills, play tennis or enjoy the pool.

At the end of the day you can enjoy a fabulous dinner at the "La Tinaia" ristorante. Chef Angelo is really talented.  He specializes in local Tuscan cuisine.  Excellent wine offerings are available here!
