Castello La Leccia in Castellina in Chianti was truly a magical stay. The views are absolutely breathtaking, with rolling Chianti hills and vineyards stretching endlessly in every direction. The property is beautiful and full of old-world charm, with impeccably maintained grounds that invite you to slow down and enjoy every moment. Breakfasts were a highlight, served outdoors overlooking the hills and vineyards, making each morning feel special. The service was exceptional from start to finish, with a warm and attentive team and an outstanding concierge who helped make our stay effortless. Our room was beautiful , spacious and comfortable. We loved the spa and pool, which were perfect for relaxing after days of exploring. The wine and olive oil tour and tasting was a wonderful experience and added a deeper appreciation for the region. The location is an ideal central base for exploring Chianti and nearby towns. We stayed for five days and wished we could have stayed longer. We absolutely loved our time here and cannot recommend it highly enough.
