Fodor's Expert Review Vertine
Gaiole in Chianti
Town/Village
Dating from the 10th century, this walled town is oval in shape and has a tall watchtower guarding the entrance gate. A walk along the unspoiled streets gives you a glimpse of life in a Tuscan hill town as it once was, and the views of the undulating countryside from the occasional opening in the walls are simply spectacular.
