Hello from Hong Kong! I am working on a few Asia related posts but in the meantime, summer is right around the corner and the warmer weather has me thinking of Europe! Italy and Tuscany, in particular…and what better time to post about my stay at Borgo Argenina in Chianti last year!
I went on a quick trip in Italy after my work assignment in London wrapped up. I sped through Florence, Tuscany and Venice in a week. When planning Tuscany, I came across Borgo Argenina on Tripadvisor and booked it immediately – so happy I chose it because Borgo Argenina is truly a special place.
The B&B is owned by the lovely Elena, and she is aided by her adorable pups Pasqualina and Giuseppina. After checking in, Elena gave a nice history of the Chianti area and also highlighted sites/restaurants on a hand-drawn map that guests get to keep – this map is a work of art in itself! From that point on, I relaxed, caught up with other guests, checked out wineries in the area and took a cooking class at the bed and breakfast. Elena’s cooking class is not to be missed – I STILL dream about the lasagne we made!
If you are looking for an authentic, unpretentious Tuscany experience in a stunning, movie-like atmosphere…look no further. Borgo Argenina is not to be missed! I will always remember my stay there and hope to visit again soon!
