- 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:
The villa is perched on a hillside with wonderful views and that set the stage for my wife's wish to have friends and family enjoy the Tuscan countryside with us. Everyday was a pleasure.
Enjoyed Most:
Blessed with beautiful Fall weather this villa was a great place to call home while we explored the Chianti region. Windows open with little concern about anything coming in but the breeze we really enjoyed watching the wildlife - deer and pheasant. Plenty of space to relax and the pool was outstanding - a bit cool for most but perfectly clean with superb views. WIFI was a plus, too.
Enjoyed Least:
The lane could use some grading and there's a troubled tree that, when removed, will open a nice sight line to Castellina. They claim that will happen soon.
Surrounding Area:
Castellina was picture perfect, with a COOP for all needed groceries. Enjoyed a trip to Livorno and down the coast to Cecina. All the hill towns were in easy reach - Greve and Volterra were favorites. Siena and Florence were readily visited. Our guests enjoyed Lucca,Cinque Terre and Rome - great to be fairly central to all those.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Nothing, but perhaps the winery at Lilliano, was in walking distance. Castellina in Chianti and Scalo are the closest with Monteriggioni close behind. All were easy 10 -15 minute rides.
Tips or Restaurants:
I think we enjoyed a good meal in every restaurant in Castellina but developed a great rapport with Zimee the head waiter at il Fondaccio (they have 2 restaurants in town ) They were truly memorable. Buy a sharp knife at the Sat. farmers market and leave it for the next visitors. They could use a extra ice cube tray but otherwise everything needed was there.
Directions:
I think GPS is a must - particularly in busy places like Florence or Siena. Having a good copilot is a big plus too especially forecasting what's next on the "curly" country roads. Neither we, nor our guests, had any problem finding the winery. From there being led to the villa makes it easy enough. Several of us put a PIN on the little bridge coming of the main road to the villa.
Check In Out:
Check in and out was pleasant and smooth for all.

Overall:
We had an exceptional stay. Everything was clean. Bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy. We felt like we were in an episode of the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. View was tremendous. The quaint village of Castellina in Chianti was nearby.
Enjoyed Most:
The quiet and the view.
Surrounding Area:
As noted above, the view was terrific.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Castellina in Chianti was the nearest town. It was too far to walk.
Tips or Restaurants:
Rain gear, washcloths, sun glasses, sun screen.
We had service problems at Pizzeria Il Fondaccio, a restaurant in Castellina in Chianti.
Directions:
The first crucial turn was difficult to see. We used a GPS, but it was spotty at times.
Check In Out:
Andrea at the winery was very helpful.
