Discover the Italian vineyards of Rada in Chianti!

#mediterranean 🍷 Discover Tuscan Charm in Radda in Chianti! Immerse yourself in rolling vineyards, medieval squares, and authentic small-town magic—this is wine country at its dreamiest. Start your day at IV November Square, the beating heart of Radda, open all day and perfect for coffee and people-watching. Snap the colorful shopfronts and winding stone streets—prime spots for Insta-worthy shots of rustic Italian life. Stroll over to the nearby Palazzo Del Podesta on Piazza Ferrucci, whose noble façade and centuries-old loggias tell stories of Chianti’s rich past. Don’t miss the Propositura di San Niccolò: this Romanesque church on P.za Francesco Ferrucci is a gem for architecture lovers. The soft morning light streaming through the old windows makes for beautiful, atmospheric photos—visit early to enjoy quiet moments inside. For a taste of local life, wander through Giardino Azzurro Celestino—a peaceful park on Str. della Croce, ideal for a picnic lunch or a shady siesta under cypress trees. Recharge and soak in Chianti’s gentle landscapes, with panorama shots of vineyards rolling away beneath blue skies. Wrap up your afternoon at Podere L'Aja (Loc. L'aia, 156), open Monday–Friday from 9:00–17:00. This family-run winery is a must for sampling classic Chianti—and their terrace gives unbeatable vineyard views for your sunset photos. Quick Tips: - Radda’s stone streets can be steep—wear comfy shoes! - Most shops close mid-afternoon—plan meals ahead. - Bring cash: smaller spots may not accept cards. - Early evening is best for soft golden light and fewer crowds! #raddainchianti #tuscany #winecountry #hiddenitaly #traveltips

Chiesa di Sant'Agostino

Step into the medieval magic of San Gimignano’s Piazza Sant’Agostino district! 🕍🍦 This pocket of town is quieter than the iconic Piazza della Cisterna, but packs a punch with stunning churches, tranquil squares, and authentic local charm. Start your stroll in Piazza Sant’Agostino — grab a gelato, listen to local chatter, and soak up the soft Tuscan light. Must-do: Pop into Chiesa di Sant’Agostino (Piazza Sant’Agostino, 10) between 7:00-12:00 or 15:00-18:00 to admire Benozzo Gozzoli’s frescoes and the serene cobblestone interior. For a more hidden gem, Chiesa di San Pietro (Piazza Sant’Agostino, 17) offers quiet spiritual respite—step in for a peaceful moment, especially if you need a breather from the main crowds. Palazzo Mari (Via S. Piero, 1) is a classic example of historic Tuscan architecture. While it’s not always open to casual visitors, the facade makes a classic “Tuscan street” Insta-shot—try capturing it in the soft morning light for the warmest hues! Personal tip: The square is especially magical in the early evening—fewer tourists, golden glow, and the gentle hum of local life gathering before dinner. Practical tips: - Wear comfy shoes—cobblestones rule these streets! - Chiesa di Sant’Agostino is active as a local parish: be respectful if a service is underway. - Bring a refillable water bottle; there’s often a public fountain nearby. #mediterranean #SanGimignano #Tuscany #HiddenGems #Churches #TravelTips
