Places to visit

Villa la Corte is located in the beautiful Tuscan countryside of Chianti, halfway between Florence and Siena, and just 9 km from Greve in Chianti where you will find typical "trattorias" and restaurants, as well as all basic shops.
The wonderful Chianti area is known worldwide for the prestigious wine to which it gives birth (the typical mark of the Gallo Nero), and for its evocative sceneries and charming villages which are along the “Via Chiantigiana”, from Greve to Gaiole, from Castellina to Radda.
It is also worth visiting the countryside of Siena. Here, in fact, you can admire other medieval gems like San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and San Galgano.
