- About The Experience
-
Located in the heart of the Chianti, this farmhouse is situated on a beautiful and renowned wine estate that offers more than the typical Tuscan experience. Not only are there panoramic views of the rolling hills covered with vineyards and olive groves, but there is also the perk of being able to taste wine produced right on the estate. Throughout your stay you will be welcomed by an extremely helpful staff at the reception who can assist you or make recommendations for activities during your trip to Italy.
- Location Description
-
The property is located five kilometers from Castellina in Chianti where there are a good number of shops, restaurants, and markets as well as a pharmacy, post office, and tourist information center. Known for its great wines, Castellina in Chianti is a medieval village that was once on the front lines of the wars between Florence and Siena. Today, the old fort in the central square is home to the municipal offices, and the covered gallery has become the magnificent Via delle Volte. Other sights in town include the Castello (which exhibits Etruscan artifacts), the 16th century church of San Salvatore, and its 14th century fresco of the Madonna by Bicci di Lorenzo. Of course you’ll also want to organize a few day trips to some of the other great cities in the area, including Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
This was our second time at the property.
Enjoyed Most:
Location, serenity, pool, house...
Enjoyed Least:
Arrived Saturday, but couldn't get A/C issues resolved until Monday or Tuesday.
Surrounding Area:
Ability to visit hill towns in Tuscany and Siena...wine tasting, food...what's not to like?
Nearby Events or Locales:
Castellina in Chianti...it' a short drive.
Check In Out:
The folks at check in were very accommodating, but do not speak English...so knowing a bit of Italian helps getting schooled on the ins and outs at the house.

Overall:
Villa Adelina was a relaxing and beautiful location. The rooms were large enough for all, and the furniture was classic. Beams in the ceilings made for a nice ambiance.
Enjoyed Most:
The swimming pool with a view is breathtaking!
The water was a bit cool, but we enjoyed sitting by pool in the sunshine, admiring the scenery.
The outside views were lovely.
Enjoyed Least:
The doors locked and unlocked with some difficulty.
The driveway could use more gravel as rain washed out parts of it.
Surrounding Area:
We enjoyed Castellina in Chianti...the shopping, and the people were just so friendly.
We frequented the gelato place (red building on outskirts of town) often. Just driving around and enjoying the Tuscan countryside was great. We also went to Siena and Cortona, both nice areas.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Castellina Chianti...no, but it was only 10-15 minutes to drive.
Tips or Restaurants:
We enjoyed the restaurant that was about a mile from the villa,
La Casina di Lilliano.
We had trouble finding parking in Castellina for the restaurants there or we would have eaten there.
Parking in any of the small towns was challenging.
Directions:
We used a GPS but the address was not detailed enough to find the winery where we were to check in.
It was raining and phone reception was poor, plus language barriers made it difficult to connect with host. But we got there!

Overall:
Our party of 10 adults had plenty of room, bedrooms with private baths, common areas for every taste (indoor/outdoor), and the ability to do things all together or find some private, peaceful time in the house and on the property.
Enjoyed Most:
Setting was beautiful, peaceful, and conducive to relax and enjoy the property and great pool, yet close enough to hill towns, Siena and Florence to make half day excursions for site seeing and wine tasting.The staff was very responsive when we had an issue and visited regularly to clean up a bit.
Enjoyed Least:
Could have had more seating on the patio outside the kitchen as well as the outside patio off of the second floor...didn't use those areas because of the lack of seating, but they were beautiful. The home was well stocked, except for plastic cups that could be used to enjoy a glass of wine at the pool.
Surrounding Area:
The property was not far from the highway between Florence and Siena, yet isolated so that all one heard were birds and an occasional tractor working the nearby farms. The views from he property were breathtaking.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Castellina in Chianti was the closest town, and although not within walking distance, very easy to reach quickly. It had wonderful shops and restaurants.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring a GPS and enter the coordinates. The written directions get you so close, but make it impossible to find the exact spot without a couple of phone calls (I'd be happy to modify the directions). The property had towels to use at the pool, and was very well equipped for 10. The highlights of our dining experiences included having Dora (a local chef) come to the villa and cook dinner for us on two occasions. Besides renting this villa it was the best decision we made. Her meals were authentic, delicious, and bountiful and reasonable. Next time we'll have her every other night.
Check In Out:
Once we finally connected, they made it very easy...just wish the person who met us to walk us through and should us how to use everything spoke English...our Italian is limited and we never did figure out how to get certain things working...yet it was a wonderful, memorable week.
