I recently visited the
Il Santo winery on the outskirts of
Greve in Chianti. I'd forgotten just how good their wine is.
Il Santo is also an excellent example of the kind of
Tuscan winery vacation accommodations available in this area of Chianti - both comfortable and economical.
Budget travellers without a car will find
Il Santo additionally attractive because it is within reasonable walking distance of the Florence bus stop in Greve (1 km). The owner and manager is the kind and attentive Alessandro Turchi.

Il Santo offers accommodation for up to 11 persons in four small apartments, two of which are
air conditioned. Each has a private entrance and its own outdoor table and chairs on a terrace or in the garden. The views are panoramic, taking in the
Il Santo vineyards and olive trees, and then the forested Chianti hills. The large
swimming pool is available to guests and there is a good
WiFi connection.

The great thing about
Il Santo as a Tuscan vacation location is that it is centrally located in Chianti, half way between Florence and Sienna, making it an ideal
base for exploring almost every corner of Tuscany. Greve in Chianti is on the
Via Chiantigiana, one of the most scenic motoring routes in Tuscany, if not in all Italy.
You can't go wrong choosing
Il Santo as your
holiday home in Tuscany.
