Nestled among the verdant hills of unspoilt Val d’Illasi, a wild portion of Valpolicella region, Tenuta Chiccheri is an exclusive estate that might be difficult to reach and, because of this, is even more charming. Giancarlo Ruffo, a successful entrepreneur from Verona who’s always been deeply attached to the countryside, in the early 80’s bought the farmhouse and turned it into a family retreat, whose 16 hectares surrounding land was covered in woods, fruit trees and olive g

This week we’ll guide you east of Garda Lake, in the charming area of Bardolino, where, thanks to the lake proximity, a Mediterranean climate facilitates olive groves and vineyards cultivations.
