The upper-middle-range 15-room Castello Vicchiomaggio is a lovely place for tourists looking for a picturesque getaway in the Tuscan countryside. It's about a 10-minute drive from the village of Greve in the Chianti area, and the property still produces wine on-site. Rooms are spread between the main castle and a manor house, and all are spacious and nicely appointed with classic furniture. Guests can tour the wine-production area in the cellar, try out the wines, then have a four-course Tuscan dinner with wine. The outdoor infinity pool is a highlight as it offers jaw-dropping views of the countryside. This is the best-priced option in the area, but the Villa Bordoni offers more luxury and has a well-regarded restaurant.

The Villa Bordoni is an ancient villa that has been transformed into an upscale and charming hotel with just 11 rooms. It's situated in the Tuscan countryside, about a 15-minute drive from Greve in the world-famous Chianti wine region. Rooms are eclectic and elegant, with rich details and smartly used bold accents, plus modern features like flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning. Some have their own terraces with stunning views of the gorgeous countryside. The restaurant is well-regarded for its Tuscan fare, and the chefs conduct cooking lessons so guests can learn how to prepare it themselves. There are less expensive places to stay in this area, like Castello Vicchiomaggio, but for a relaxing and romantic escape, Villa Bordoni is close to the top.
