CHIANTI - The region of Tuscany, lying between the ancient cities of Florence and Siena, is one of the most beautiful holiday accommodation place in Italy and indeed in Europe. It is a landscape of rolling wooded hills, of olive groves, vineyards and cypress trees, and its extraordinary character has remained unchanged for centuries. The hilltop villages and castles date back to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; the later villas in italy set amongst groves of cypress and pine, were built by wealthy citizens of Florence and Siena to escape the heat of summer. The climate is infact very agreeable from April to October in italy. Today, the Chianti hills remain unspoilt, and are world famous for their wines. They provide the discriminating tourist with an ideal base to enjoy the art centres of Florence, Siena, Volterra and San Gimignano and to discover the timeless pleasures of a region which was the cradle of the Renaissance. VAGLIAGLI - Vagliagli is a typical Tuscan village set high on its hilltop with views stretching for miles over the surrounding countryside. It grew up around the fortified castle of Aiola, an outpost of Siena, during the endless conflicts with its great rival, Florence. It is now a small cluster of houses 12 km north of Siena, with an excellent restaurant, pharmacy, some food stores and a post office; the main road between Siena and Florence is within easy reach. L'Aiolina is situated just outside the village. L'AIOLINA - A few years ago we decided to give up our careers in international business and move to a new way of life in countryside accommodation. We sought an environment in which we could fulfil our love of nature, art, cooking and tranquillity: we searched throughout Tuscany until we found L'Aiolina. L'Aiolina is a rambling 16th century farmhouse, situated on a hillside below chestnut woods and surrounded by walnut trees. The old accommodation house looks out across olive groves and vineyards to distant hills - views that have not changed in centuries.
