Villa Poggio la Croce is immersed in the Chianti countryside, just 2 km from Radda in Chianti where you can find all basic shops (grocery store, baker, newsagent, post office), and some restaurants and bars. The amazing area of Chianti Classico is known worldwide for the prestigious wine to which it gives birth (the typical emblem of the Gallo Nero), and for its evocative sceneries and charming villages which are along the “Via Chiantigiana”, from the nearby Radda to Panzano, from Castellina to Gaiole. Even Siena, a splendid medieval city full of tradition and artistic masterpieces, is near (just 40 minutes away by car). It is also worth visiting the countryside of Siena: here you will find other medieval gems, like Monteriggioni, San Gimignano and San Galgano. Main distances: Radda in Chianti (2 km), Gaiole in Chianti (12 km), Monteriggioni (25 km), Siena and San Gimignano (35 km), Florence (56 km), Arezzo (61 km). Please note that the distances mentioned above are approximate, and are referred as the crow flies from the property.
