Greve in Chianti is the soul of Chianti region and heart of Toscana. At least for us. We have spent quite many summer holidays on the Tuscan hills and by the winyards during years. Now we wanted to refresh our memories while staying in Firenze. Luckily the Albergo was open, and not only that, it had gone through a change that appeared to be a success - new restaurant, interesting menu, tasty wines and cosy rooms. The staff was as friendly as fifteen years ago and the heated pool great to swim even in the end of October. Very relaxing hotel and in Greve You can find all you need to know about Chianti wines.

Pietra del Cabreo - Greve del Chianti Nestled beautifully south of Florence, you would miss it if you didn’t know, Is the most amazingly well kept retreat, named Pietra del Cabreo. Where you can stop to unwind and attempt to slow down the sands of time, Amongst tranquil olive trees and row upon row of Chianti grape vines. It’s Infinity pool disappearing within the hills is a sight of pure wonder, To relax alongside in the Tuscany heat, before cooling off with a plunder. The surrounding gardens and lawns so lush and wonderfully green, Watered every morning by traversing sprinklers, that by day are not seen. And the carefully laid path stones, create the perfect transcending walk, As couples holding hands navigate the gardens and consistently talk. The landscape around is so difficult to perfectly describe, So gorgeous in its presentation and lasting so far and wide. Butterflies cross cross each other as they carefully cruise on by, And swallows take chance for some water, from the clear pool as they fly. The many various trees of all shapes, shades of green and different sizes, Growing berries and fruits and other local food prizes. The hospitality of this place, well it’s just simply amazing from the start, Their style, presentation and delivery, down to a fine art. You are made to feel welcome from the very moment that you arrive, Just what was needed for us, after such a long drive. There was Michele the manager, Leonardo and Matteo too, Nothing was too much trouble and they did all they can do. The rooms are spacious with every detail so meticulously planned to suit, Double shower and twin wash basins and a huge queen bed to boot. The shower wash, conditioner and body lotion and all locally made, Provided in abundance in such presentation and professionally laid. The view out over the hills, is what totally sells this wonderful place, The elegance and perfection, is truly a thing of grace. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is available and all provided within, Catering for all with meats dishes, vegan or choice of vegetarian. To be able to dine as we did and watch the sun carefully lay down, Surrounded by other various diners all smiling, not a single frown. The August heat is exceptional, as are the crystal blue skies, Such a difference to British weather and certainly a far cry. We were simply lost in the moment and the total perfection of it all, The best stay ever not an understatement, we simply had a ball. Looking for a stay in Tuscany, look no further than Greve in Chianti right now, It’s 10 out of 10 rating, is very simple to see somehow. I’ve never been to any place, where I’ve said that I would return for sure, But this place grabbed our hearts and reminded us what’s pure. Neil Springall August 2024
