At Hotel Villa le Barone, located in the heart of Chianti, you will find many hiking, walking as well as cycling opportunities. The hiking tours that you will find at the authentic manor hotel Villa le Barone will allow you to discover the wide diversity of the Tuscan landscape: you will admire the breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills; you will contemplate the typical Chianti scenery of vineyards, olive groves, cypresses, chestnuts and oaks forests. The easy self guided tours that Villa le Barone has prepared for you will also bring you in small medieval villages near Greve in Chianti, Radda in Chianti or Castellina in Chianti, such as Volpaia, Lamole or Montefioralle. They will allow you to enter in the Tuscan culture and to uncover little known treasuries: small churches or abbeys, Renaissance paintings, and simple but good food in the “trattorias” you encounter. And if you prefer to have the help of a guide, Villa le Barone will find one for you!

Hiking and walking in autumn around the romantic country hotel Villa le Barone
September and October are especially pleasant months for hiking and walking: the countryside becomes a patchwork of autumn colors, with a wide range of yellows, of reds, of greens. Villa le Barone’s front also takes its autumn colors! You will also be able to exercise your sense of smell, as you will find a lot of different aromas and fragrances: aromatic Mediterranean plants, wineries… If the weather is beautiful and still warm, you can refresh yourself in Villa le Barone‘s pool… and sip a glass of Chianti wine while watching the sunset by the pool. If the weather is not that good, you can also enjoy the many fireplaces in charming hotel Villa le Barone’ lounges or honesty bar.
