Read more about The Chianti

Created by VisitsItaly.com for the world's most passionate lovers of Italy, The Chianti Traveler's Center is a unique hub of recreational activity located just outside Castellina in Chianti, one of Tuscany's most beautiful and evocative medieval towns.

The 50 hectare estate around the Villa boasts vineyards, olive groves and a small private forest with wandering trails, and nearby country roads provide a fantastic opportunity for walking and biking through The Chianti hills.  A hillside pool and tennis courts provide additional diversion and relaxation.

The 4 star Hotel Villa Casalecchi is one of the most beautiful in The Chianti featuring 16 comfortable rooms and suites, a seductivel romantic wood-panelled dining room, a bar, and lounges where guests can relax and while the hours away reading, playing cards or in sublime contemplation.

There are also two 3 star "dependences" with 7 B&B rooms (Standard Rooms without air conditioning) - the perfect setting for families and small groups who want to take advantage of The Chianti Center's budget packages. The dependences are just a few steps away from the main hotel, and do not have their own common lounges or bar.
