Simona’s Selection

Why Simona Chose These Hotels

Having worked in the Italian wine industry for many years, I know the right hotel can make all the difference on a wine tour. For this selection, I’ve focused on properties with a strong connection to Tuscany’s wine country, whether through their own vineyards and wineries or their proximity to outstanding wine estates. Excellent restaurants, attentive service, character, and a genuine sense of place matter just as much. From intimate winery relais to luxurious country estates, these places offer something special for wine lovers exploring Tuscany.

Where to Stay in Tuscany’s Wine Regions

For wine lovers, where you stay in Tuscany depends on the wines you want to discover. Chianti Classico offers historic estates, picturesque villages, and superb Sangiovese, while Montalcino is the obvious choice if Brunello is your passion. Head towards Bolgheri for its celebrated Super Tuscans and beautiful coastal countryside, or choose Maremma for a more peaceful rural escape, with some excellent wineries to explore. Cortona, famous for its Syrah, and Valdarno, with its lovely estates and distinctive wines, are also well worth discovering. Each area offers something a little different, and that is part of Tuscany’s charm.
