The everyday melts away at Hotel Le Fontanelle, an ancient estate set amidst lush vineyards and olive groves in Chianti Classico. The main stone building, dating to the 13th century, has been lovingly revived; wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta-tiled floors add charm to the 36 guestrooms, updated in an elegantly simple Tuscan style. Go hiking and biking, lounge by two pools, or sample prestigious labels at nearby Vallepicciola winery before savoring bold Italian fare on the panoramic terrace.
