Brolio Agriroom

Beds were very hard. It was a nice place with decent staff. But very far from most places...absolutely need a car of your own.

We stayed at the Brolio Agriroom camera 1 for one night on our way back to Firenze. We all fitted in it, matress is great, we are a family of 4. Super clean. We checked in at the wine tasting room across the street and were greeted by Suzanne, she was such a great host. Tried so many different wines, all included with our reservation. She made reservations for us at their ristorante and a tour of the Castello di Brolio, such a beautiful place. Now the restaurant was the highlight of the night, staff was super friendly, accommodating to my son’s gluten allergy with GF pasta w duck ragú was great. The risotto with baby octopus was the best I ever have, they finished it up by slightly baking it in the oven making it subtly crusty. My wife and I had a bottle of their Rose. The desert was a sweet panzanella made with brioche, watermelon, lavender, honey and basil sorbet. I never had anything like this before and my whole family loved it. The staff and the chef were the highlight of the night. Breakfast at the vintage L’Eroica cafe was great as well. Thank you. Dr. Riviera and family.

Book here quick before people discover it and the rates rise. Located on the oldest winery in Italy where Chianti Classico was created is this hidden gem. They started converting some properties on the estate to room rentals and villas a few years ago. The rooms themselves are simple but outfitted with everything you may need including A/C which I found many other agriturismos do not have. If they do, it's usually much more expensive. A stay at Agriroom includes a simple Italian breakfast of cornetto, bread with jams, juice, and cafe (espresso, cappuccino) and free tastings at the wine bar. There is also the beautiful Brolio castle onsite which you have free access to and a really good restaurant as well. Discount extended to guests at the restaurant and to purchase wine as well. When we return we will try to book the villa!
