Castello di Spaltenna occupies a medieval complex above Gaiole in Chianti, surrounded by cypress trees, olive groves and Sangiovese vineyards. Rooms are shaped by the irregular proportions of the historic buildings, with timber beams, painted furniture and views across the estate. Indoor and outdoor pools, a spa and garden terraces provide several places to pause, while the hotel’s restaurants range from informal Tuscan cooking to the more refined Il Pievano. Gaiole lies within walking distance, and wineries and castles spread through the surrounding hills. The stone walls and former church remain the architectural focus of the property.
