Halfway between Florence and Siena, The Relais Fattoria Vignale is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region just outside the medieval town centre of Radda, one of the most picturesque villages of the area.
The Hotel was the manor house pf a large wine state and has been carefully restored preserving the ancient architectural features.
At the guests' disposal are 27 rooms in the main building, 10 rooms in the annexe across the street overlooking the valley and 3 suites with terrace, cozy and elegant lounges with fireplace, garden, heated outdoor swimmingpool, private parking, wineshop, the Restaurant "Taverna" and 200m from the Relais the Restaurant "Vignale".
Its specific geographical location offers the possibility to visit the main places of cultural interest, the small medieval towns and castles of the Chianti area and the Chianti Classico wineries or just to relax, enjoying the beautiful countryside laced with wineyards and dotted with olive trees.
The golf course "Ugolino" (18 holes) is located south of Florence at a distance of 40 km.
The history of the Relais Fattoria Vignale is linked with the history of the Chianti wine. The first historical records date back to the 18th century; in 1773 after a visit to the Chianti region, Peter Leopold Grand Duke of Lorraine wrote about the Falconi Family - at that time owners of the Vignale - "...they are trading and sending wine to England..."
The Pianigiani Family who succeded the Falconis greatly developed the wine production.
In August 1924 Baldassarre Pianigiani, the "Notary" of Chianti, created the "Gallo Nero" (Black Roaster) and drew up on the estate itself the deed of partnership of the Consortium for the defence of the typical wine "Chianti Classico". Vignale is to this day the legal seat of the "Consortium Vino Chianti Classico" as well as of the "Centre of historical studies of the Chainti region".
