A trip to Meleto Castle makes history come alive. Peer up at its age-old walls and pull out your guidebook to learn about its storied past.

Meleto Castle is an ideal place to begin exploring Gaiole in Chianti. This fortified complex comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Castle of Brolio, Castello di Albola, and Badia a Coltibuono to make the most of what the area has to offer.

Very small rooms and bathrooms. Breakfast and breakfast staff were awesome and on the top floor. Hotel room small and nothing special. Great location and quiet…but good luck getting out of a car with luggage.

I initially felt concerned about the hotel's location, but quickly realized it's in an old, historical part of town, where narrow alleys are the norm. We never felt unsafe, nor did we experience noise during our stay. This is a no-frills hotel, and an excellent deal for this being Florence. The breakfast was good. It is within walking distance to eateries, shopping, and museums. It met the needs of our family, including our son who gets around in a wheelchair. We will definitely continue to stay here when we return to Florence.
