A good place to stay in Tuscany in the cool Chianti hills

If you're planning a visit to Tuscany during the popular spring and summer seasons, you no doubt know that in some areas heat can be a problem. When it's hot, a good place to stay in Tuscany in the cool Chianti hills is Casa Mezzuola, due both to its high altitude, which guarantees cool breezes almost every day, and its beautiful swimming pool. This agriturismo was once a tiny "borgo", a hamlet clustered around a tower that was later converted into a farmhouse. Some of the architectural elements date back to the 12 C, when the tower was an outlying watch tower for the Castello di Montefioralle, across the valley from Mezzuola. This agriturismo is located on the upper slopes the Val di Greve, in the middle of the Chianti Classico wine zone between Florence and Siena.
