The Greve Piazza used to be the market center of Chianti, where the castles would come down to trade their goods since the castles did not have large enough clearings to have a proper market. The market has many tourist type shops, and there are some more authentic places a block off the main road. Key highlights are a bakery... More

Especially in the early autumn when this piazza hosts a wine festival. It's a must do. More

Old meat shop (many centuries old) has actually disappointed: except of fresh meat everything is vacuum-packed, nothing to taste, no interaction with people.

Nice triangular square with a feel of a small town, but services you need as a traveling family, such as friendly and fast service in a restaurant - there is a pizza place with inside and outside sitting area across the street from the wine tasting shop (with sitting outside as well). Nice combination. Your children will start to whine... More
