General Description
Palazzo Leopoldo is an elegant nineteenth century style villa situated in Radda in Chianti, a medieval town in the heart of the Chianti Classico region.
The building dates back to the 1300's but reached the height of its splendour during the Renaissance when it was the home of the noble Minucci family, one of the most influential families of the area.
The building's interior provides testimony to its glorious past with frescoes, terracotta floors, fireplaces and the splendid kitchen where the delicious buffet breakfast is prepared every morning and which also houses cooking courses and special dinners.
