Situated halfway between Florence and Siena, on the gentle Chianti hills, Tavarnelle Val di Pesa is a perfect place for those who are dreaming of relaxing holidays in the peaceful Tuscan countryside. Thanks to its proximity to two such important cities of art, you can organize cultural tours and visit museums, churches and historically relevant buildings whenever you like.

However, if you like art and culture, you do not have to go to Florence and Siena. The wonderful hills that surround Tavarnelle Val di Pesa are dotted not only with ancient castles and small parish churches housing precious artistic treasures but also with farms, ancient aristocratic residences, some of which have been transformed into holiday farms, like many ancient Chianti villas. Tavarnelle does not lack in museums: you have the one dedicated to sacred art and that dedicated to peasant culture, where you can learn about the traditions and history of Tavarnelle and of the Chianti region.

You can explore Tavarnelle and the surrounding countryside following the many tracks that stretch on the hills and in the forests. Or you can dedicate to a real food-and-wine tour and taste the typical products of the region. First of all, its famous red wines, the Chianti Classico and the Chianti Colli Fiorentini.
