More about this place
Villa Bordoni is a boutique country hotel above Greve in Chianti, set in a restored patrician villa overlooking vineyards and olive groves. Its twelve individually decorated rooms pair the character of an old Tuscan residence with a small, personal scale.
Food is a strong reason to stay: the restaurant and Chianti Cooking School make it possible to spend time learning and eating at the property, rather than using it only as a room between winery visits. Choose the exact room category carefully because layouts and outdoor space differ.
The countryside setting rewards travelers with a car and time for a slower evening. The hotel advertises March–November operation; confirm dates, restaurant plans and any cooking class separately when reserving. This is a rural base for Chianti rather than a walkable Florence city stay.
