Italy’s symbiotic relationship with wine is one of the many reasons visitors flock to vineyard hotels all over the country. Along with classic cities, iconic cuisine, and stunning landscapes, Italy’s miles of rolling grapevines captures a sense of majesty and timelessness only found in Italy. Book a gorgeous hotel room with classic Italian décor in a rustic farmhouse, complete with views over miles of neatly aligned vines, elegant Cyprus trees, and sun-scorched fields.
From here, you can access Tuscany’s most stunning cities. Florence, Siena, and even Rome are easily accessible from vineyard hotels in Chianti, as are some of Tuscany’s most popular wineries. Just south of Chianti is Castello Banfi, a sprawling castle complex which has been producing a splendid variety of wines from regions all over Tuscany, which you can sample on a winery visit. The castle is also home to a Bottle and Glass Museum which showcases the eras of wine production throughout history.
Long driveways lined with Cyprus trees lead to deluxe vineyard hotels in Northern Italy. From Piedmont to Friuli-Venezia Giulia, northern Italy’s rolling Alpine foothills and rugged terrain have carved the perfect conditions for growing hundreds of grape varieties. Seek vineyard hotels on the hills surrounding Lake Garda and have access to all the relaxation opportunities that come with a lakeside vacation. Visit the popular fortified town of Simione and explore its palm-lined streets and ancient city walls completely surrounded by cool blue water. Get out in nature and hike along the Ponale Road, which offers panoramic views of the lake, taking you through hidden tunnels and past dramatic cliff faces. Retire to your vineyard and sit on the deck with a crisp Pinot Grigio in hand, overlooking miles of vines in one direction and the glittering Lake Garda in the other.
