Gaiole in Chianti was nominated by ‘Forbes’ magazine as the most beautiful region in Tuscany and the most idyllic in the whole of Europe.
Gaiole is a small village in the Province of Siena with approximately 2,300 residents, where everyone knows each other. It is a beautiful and somewhat hidden community just beyond the tourist routes. For centuries, Gaiole has been on the border area of Siena and Florence, and has witnessed many battles. As a result, it was often the target of skirmishes until the fall of Siena in 1555.

What is the exact reason that Forbes places Gaiole in the number one position? According to Gay Gillen of travel consultancy Brownell, “Chianti has everything in terms of mountains, vineyards, wineries, and walking tours. There is also the opportunity for horse-riding, hiking or tennis, and the food is delicious.” Apart from the fact that the countryside is beautiful, and that a tranquil, rural lifestyle prevails, it also differs greatly from other villages. The standard of living is high in terms of personal safety and security, life is slower and it is located close to the cities of Siena and Firenze, and everyone is friends with each other. The village has managed to avoid being influenced by mass tourism.
