Il Guardingo offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the very best of Tuscany and its food from a privileged location on a hill directly above the town of Greve in Chianti.
The restaurant is housed in a XV century villa with its Italian garden and parkland, home also to Villa Bordoni, a boutique hotel with just 11 rooms and suites, and is surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and timeless hamlets dating back to the middle ages.
From the garden, where in the warmer months guests may have lunch or dinner, the views of the surrounding countryside are nothing short of breathtaking, truly paying homage to Chianti's widespread reputation as one of Italy’s most beautiful regions.
The villa also sits atop an important wine cellar, carved directly out of the bedrock upon which the Villa stands. Its cool walls, once enclosing a dungeon, now preserve our diverse selection of wine labels. These are a celebration of Italy's - and especially Tuscany's - immense diversity and quality from its many wine producers - with a small homage paid to some of the great sparkling wines from the Champagne region in France. Guests are welcome to visit the cellar with our staff and pick the wine - or wines - to accompany their meals.
The restaurant is open from March until November, for both lunch and dinner, and is a perfect venue for hosting banquets and small wedding receptions - it is a paradise for those who enjoy the good things in life, and love to savour them at a slow pace.
For those who do not have the time for a full meal, our bar and gardens are always open for a relaxing drink or aperitivo, while enjoying the views of the surrounding hills and hamlets.
A beautiful country restaurant in a historic villa, overlooking the valley of Greve, with exceptional views of the Chianti landscape.
