Palazzo Leopoldo was once the home of a noble family in a lovely, ancient village in Chianti. The exterior is simple and charming while the interior retains even more historic character including frescoes, cotto floors, fireplaces, a private chapel, and an original kitchen. While not quite luxurious, the property does offer a beautiful indoor pool and hot tub in the old cellar, beneath a vaulted brick ceiling, along with cooking classes, a restaurant, wine shop, and wellness center. Rooms are classic in style if a touch dated (bedspreads could use an upgrade), but they're spacious, clean, and true to the location.

Occupying an 18th-century villa wrapped by vineyards, Hotel Villa Campomaggio Resort & Spa is an upscale property set a short drive from the village of Radda. Scenic settings and terrace wine tastings make it a popular pick for vacationing couples, and large oil paintings in the 20 rooms add romantic touches. They have classically elegant decor, as well as flat-screen TVs, hairdryers, and minibars. Manicured gardens nestle an outdoor pool, and a lovely spa has the works. Valley views are beautiful from most rooms and terraces, and al fresco dining is popular. Buffet breakfasts are free, but not having a restaurant limits guests to the bar's light meals. Travelers looking for somewhere less remote should consider the downtown Palazzo Leopoldo.
