One of the best ways to celebrate a wedding anniversary is by taking a trip together. Why not choose idyllic Chianti, in Tuscany, for such a trip?

A romantic getaway at the occasion of an anniversary gives time to reconnect and reinforce love for each other. An anniversary can also be an opportunity for a family reunion. In any case, skip the crowded churches, museums, and streets of the large cities. Head to the hillside Villa le Barone, where the wine, food and atmosphere will leave you with memories that will last for the rest of your lives.
The historic origins of celebrating wedding anniversaries seem to date back to the Holy Roman Empire, when husbands crowned their wives with a silver wreath on their twenty-fifth anniversary, and a gold wreath on the fiftieth. Well, time has gone by, and now, most wedding anniversaries are the best excuse to escape on a romantic holiday for two. Landmark anniversaries, such as 25 (silver), 50 (gold), 60 (diamond), are the occasion to organize family gatherings in a beautiful place…and what better place than marvelous Chianti in Tuscany?

Breathtaking landscapes, good wine and delicious food make Chianti a must for wedding anniversaries. Indeed Chianti offers an endless choice of gorgeous towns to fall in love with: quaint and quirky country retreats, vineyards, cultural treasures and culinary gems. And Villa le Barone, a hotel full of atmosphere and charm in Panzano in the heart of Chianti, is the perfect location for wedding anniversaries. The “Tower room”, or another historic room in the Villa, with their stupendous view, are ideal to welcome couples looking for romance. In what we call the “Granaio”, an ancient barn, as beautifully furnished as the Villa, there are 3 rooms with a private lounge that can welcome 8 guests for a family reunion. And, in the “Fattoria”, the former house of the manager of Villa le Barone when it was an agricultural estate, there are 5 rooms and a large private lounge where the family can gather together…. There are also so many terraces outside where guests can organize small intimate cocktails and enjoy the stupendous views and sunsets on the Chianti hills. Not to forget, the famous Chianti wines and Tuscan food will be appreciated by everyone!
Again, is there a better location than Chianti to spend an anniversary and is there a better place than the romantic Hotel Villa le Barone, where everyone will do anything to make this celebration a memorable event? Certainly not!
