The villa was in such a beautiful location. The property owner, knowing that we had traveled a great distance, met us with treats. The pool was clean, the tennis court in great shape, and lots of options for scenic walks! It was great!!!
It's a great home base to start exploring the region. Two wineries are very close by, and Florence is an easy drive away. The traditional way the house is built keeps it nice and cold during the day. We loved it!
A very special time it was. Veronica made it perfect. She left us set with breakfeast and was amazing with helping us locate the apartment.
Despite our own not having prepared properly, Veronica saved us.

Great vacation in an ancient and quiet environment
My family and I enjoyed the stay at the former farmhouse. It is very quiet to which you have to take a two-mile dusty two-track from the windy Tuscan mountain road. But the view and the quietness really make up for it. Rarely do we have the opportunity to see that many stars on the night sky since there are too many city lights around us.
The proximity to Poggibonsi with a larger supermarket and Castellina in Chianti with good restaurants and smaller markets is also very convenient. And you are close to both Florence and Siena as well as the tourist destinations of San Giminiano and Volterra. All of those can be reached within an hour or less driving time while being away from the hustle, smell and volume of Italian cities.
Don't forget to visit some of the great wineries in the Chianti area which are very close to the property - it is surrounded by vineyards! And for food aficionados there is the famous butchery of Dario Cecchini in Panzano you will want to visit. He has some great Sushi di Chianti you may want to try and will sell you some of the famous bistecca Fiorentina (the Tuscan Porterhouse) with two days pre-ordering. For pizza lovers the two restaurants in the pedestrian zone of Castellina in Chianti provide you with outstanding pies the Italian way.
All-in-all we enjoyed our stay in the remodeled farmhouse. Please be aware that during the summer months it does get quite hot in Tuscany. We encountered days of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and there is no air conditioning in the farmhouse!
Massimiliano and Veronica took care of us and helped us when we forgot to take the key to the main door which can only be opened with a key from the outside. Thanks a lot for the hospitality!
Super vacances !La maison est nichée dans un véritable écrin de verdure, au cœur des oliviers et des paysages toscans. Après quelques minutes sur un petit chemin, on découvre ce hameau en pierre plein de charme, avec sa petite chapelle qui lui confère une authenticité incroyable.Le logement est parfaitement équipé : la climatisation la nuit en août est un vrai plus, et la terrasse, idéalement orientée, permet de profiter de longues soirées conviviales autour d’un repas. Les deux chambres sont confortables et bien aménagées.La piscine, magnifique, a été notre rituel de fin de journée après les visites, et la vue qu’elle offre est digne d’une carte postale.Un grand merci à l’hôte pour son accueil chaleureux et l’organisation impeccable. La communication a été simple, fluide et agréable.
Location parfaite pour qui cherche le calme, située dans un petit hameau isolé avec vues magnifiques sur la campagne. Les 1ers villages avec commerces sont à 20 minutes de voiture.
Bel accueil accompagné de quelques bonnes surprises et bons échanges. Logement bien équipé dans un cadre magnifique. Idéal pour découvrir cette partie de la Toscane et se détendre ensuite. Superbe semaine pour nous.
Très bon séjour, petite maison au coeur du Chianti très agréable. A proximité de tous ce qui a simplifié nos visites. Il faudrait juste préciser dans l'annonce que le logement ne possède qu'une climatisation mobile à l'étage.
Notre arrivé a été parfaite avec l'accueil de Véroniqua, merci beaucoup pour les gentilles attention (eau fraiche, gâteau, fruits, ...)
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine.
La maison est très bien équipée, très propre, l’environnement est très apaisant.
Massimiliano a été très réactif et à l’écoute
Nous recommandons à 100%
Meget slidt lejlighed men rent. Der var meget varmt og Air con. kunne ikke køle nok ned.
Svær og hullet grus opkørsel på 2 km til huset. Dejligt område og pool og tennisbane stemte overens med billeder.
Super séjour dans une maison au cœur de la nature toscane, rien à redire. Gérante très sympathique qui nous a même fait parvenir par courrier des souvenirs que nous avions oubliés !
Nous recommandons sans hésiter !
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce sublime endroit, entouré de la vigne et des oliviers dans le cœur du Chianti !
La situation géographique est top, le site est idéalement situé pour découvrir Pise, Florence et Sienne …
La piscine est un vrai bonheur pour se rafraîchir et se ressourcer après une belle journée de visite.
Merci à Veronica pour son accueil très chaleureux et les bons conseils, toujours disponible et prête à nous aider ! Merci.
En pleine nature au milieu des oliviers des vignes et des cyprès. Idéalement situe entre Florence et Sienne, à quelques kilomètres de San Gemignano . L’endroit idéal pour visiter la région et une belle piscine et un terrain de tennis.
Le bonheur absolu.
Ein schönes kleines Reihenhäuschen in einem ehemaligen Klosteranwesen, das in viele kleine Ferieneinheiten umgewandelt wurde. Wenn auch die Auffahrt die Straße hinauf durchaus abenteuerlich war (1. Gang und viel Schotter und Staub), war sie es für die einmalige Lage und den Blick auf die Chiantiebenen auf jeden Fall wert. Wald, Oliven- und Feigenbäume, sehr ruhig und weit ab von jeder Hektik. (Pro-Tipp: nehmt nicht die Route über San Donato, sonst kommt ihr in den Genuss einer weiteren steilen Schotterstraße).
Die Unterkunft war mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen kurzen oder auch längeren Aufenthalt braucht. Es war sehr sauber und ordentlich.
Obwohl das Haus in der typischen Steinbauweise errichtet wurde und dadurch bei 36+ Grad recht kühl blieb, war es gut, dass die beiden oberen Zimmer noch eine Klimaanlage hatten. (Pro-Tipp: kombiniert die Klimaanlage mit dem Ventilator, der die kalte Luft nicht nach oben, sondern in die beiden Zimmer weht)
Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Veronica empfangen - und gleich mit Obst, Kuchen und Wasser im Kühlschrank versorgt. Sie hatte an alles gedacht. Es waren die Kleinigkeiten, auf die die Gastgeber achteten - Tennisschläger, falls man doch mal spielen wollte oder Badekappen, weil im Pool die Pflicht dazu bestand (wir hatten eigene mit, aber für den Fall hätten wir auch die neuen im Haus nutzen können).
Alles in Allem eine tolle und erholsame Zeit! Vielen Dank!
Hébergement au sein d’un petit village utilisé en habitations de vacances, accès par une route de terre de 2 km, Au calme, avec une belle vue,… Apporter des produits anti moustique
Excellent séjour dans ce village rural transformé en résidences de vacances, auquel on accède par une route en gravier sinuant ente les ciprès. Vue splendide et calme garantis.
Logement simple et rustique mais pourvu du nécessaire, adapté à une famille de 4 personnes avec jeunes enfants, accès direct à la piscine, balades natures à proximité et accès aisé aux principaux sites touristiques et historiques de Toscane.
Hôte très accueillant et disponible pour toute question.
