Agriturismo La Camporena

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of agriturismos in Tuscany, but La Camporena in Greve in Chianti actually gets it right. It’s tucked away on Via Convertoie – honestly, you’ll probably miss the turn the first time because it’s one of those narrow roads that doesn’t look like it leads anywhere important. But that’s kind of the point. Once you wind up through the olive groves, you’re hit with this view that makes you understand why people move to Tuscany and never leave. The property sits on a hillside overlooking the Chianti valley, and I mean, the morning light hitting those vineyards is something you’ll want to photograph but know won’t translate properly to Instagram.

The rooms are in converted farm buildings – thick stone walls that keep things cool even in August, which is more than I can say for some of the fancier places I’ve stayed. There’s this rustic elegance thing happening that doesn’t feel forced or touristy. The owners, well, they’re actually from the area (not transplants from Milan trying to play farmer), and it shows in how they run the place. Check-in is relaxed – they’ll probably offer you a glass of their own wine while explaining the best routes to avoid the tour buses heading to San Gimignano. Speaking of which, you’re perfectly positioned here. Greve’s main piazza is maybe a 10-minute walk downhill, and honestly, that Saturday morning market is worth planning your whole trip around. But the real advantage is being close enough to hit the famous towns (Siena’s about 30 minutes) while staying somewhere that feels authentically Tuscan.

The breakfast alone justifies the stay – fresh ricotta, honey from their own hives, and this homemade jam that tastes like summer. They serve it on a terrace where you can watch the mist lift off the hills while planning your day. I actually ended up canceling a dinner reservation in Florence one night just to eat at their restaurant, which serves ingredients grown right on the property. The wine list is heavy on local Chianti Classico producers, some you won’t find anywhere else because they’re tiny family operations. Fair warning though – if you’re someone who needs a gym and a pool scene, this isn’t your place. There’s a small pool that’s perfect for cooling off after a day of wine tasting, but it’s more about the setting than the facilities. The WiFi works fine, parking is easy (just follow the gravel road), and the whole vibe is refreshingly low-key. At 8.6 rating, it’s earning those points through charm and location rather than marble bathrooms or turndown service – which, honestly, is exactly what you want from a real agriturismo experience.

Reviews

• A relaxed and comfortable stay in a beautiful setting. – Bjarni from Iceland – 26 June 2025 (9/10)

  La Camporena is extremely well situated, just a few minutes away from Greve in Chianti, and the perfect location to explore the countryside. It is obviously a professional establishment but retains a familial and personal atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent, the best omelette we've had in a long time. The restaurant served very good food and we stayed for dinner the two nights we spent there, enjoying the comfort in a calm and beautiful location. Having a nice swimming pool was much welcomed in the heat we experienced.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing I can put my finger on is that the wi-fi didn't reach our room so we had to get closer to the reception to stay connected. A minor inconvenience.

• Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings – Andrew from Australia – 10 June 2025 (10/10)

  Romina is a wonderful hostess and is very welcoming. The food is very nice. Amazing sunset view whilst having dinner. Very close to town
  
  What could be improved: A small refrigerator would be beneficial.

• Magical stay! Definitely stay here! – Brittiany from United States – 9 October 2023 (10/10)

  Incredibly, relaxing stay! One that we will remember for a lifetime. The pictures do not do the views justice. The manager is amazing and we had the entire property to ourselves most of our stay. I cannot believe some of the reviews about price for dinners. Dinner was amazing. We had the entire terrace to ourselves and the value is truly there to have one of the best views in all of Tuscany while dining.
  
  Everything about our stay was incredible. You can walk to Greve. Short and pretty hike down on the walking trail (20 min). Hike up is pretty intense but worth it.
  
  What could be improved: Only thing to make our stay absolutely perfect would be to offer more variety with the breakfast.

• Superb – Mats from Sweden – 6 August 2023 (9/10)

  Fantastic view from big terrace near the reception. Friendly staff even if english was a bit poor, but not a big issue. We were the only guest that day so very calm and we could enjoy the clean large pool among the olive trees. We had a nice view over the tuscany valley with the small town nearby (5min with car). Breakfast possible and we had nice ham and cheese toast, juice, coffe and an amazingly good chocolate cake! Must get the recipe!
  We also had a nice dinner w cheese, ham and pasta, all very tasty. A bottle of their own classico from 2013 was a perfect match. Very smooth and high class wine. Recommended.
  Have a glass of wine and look when the sun goes down among the hills. It is divine.
  
  What could be improved: No wifi in our room but ok closer to the reception.
