Our guests have their own terrace with a garden and a wonderful view over the Tuscan hills. A quiet place in the heart of the Chianti Classicos from which all the beauties of Tuscany can be easily reached. B. Florence, Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano, Arezzo. Two to four people can be accommodated in the 90 square meter house. On the first floor of the house there are two double bedrooms (one with two separable single beds), halfway up the bathroom and on the ground floor a large living room with an open kitchen and dining area. From here, guests have access to the terrace with dining area and their own garden, deck chairs and barbecue are available.
The kitchen is fully equipped (also with a washing machine) our guests are self-sufficient.
The next town Radda is 1.5 km away, there are various shops, banks, a pharmacy, restaurants and bars.

Wonderfull
We had a wonderfull and relaxing stay and ours hosts were of great assistance when planning our visits to other areas of Tuscany and both Lisa & Roberto were most friendly during our stay,and being so close to Radda in Chianti was great when looking for daily supplies.The location of Podere Val Delle Corti situated in the centre of Chianti gave great access to surrounding areas would love to return.

Fantastic location right in the heart of chianti
I stayed here during april, when the weather can be cold and can Ben marvelous, not matter what the weather is doing Tuscany and chianti are always beautiful. This was our home base for trips to Florence, montepulciano and other short drives around the chianti region. Rada was my personal favorite, exactly what I was looking for in a Tuscan holiday. Lis was wonderful, accommodating and extremely friendly, I could not recommend this property for a chianti stay more !

Superb. Perfect location. Perfect villa.
My husband, and I and our 7 month old son spent two lovely weeks in the villa in early November. The location was perfect for us. Short drive to many nearby cities, towns and villages such us Siena, Florence, San Gimignano etc. We sampled many of the wines available from the winery which was very convenient for us with a little one and the wine was great. Kitchen was great. Only thing missing for us was a microwave to heat up baby bottles but we improvised as you do when on holiday. The open plan layout of the kitchen, dining and living space was also perfect for us with my husband entertaining a tired baby at the end of the day and me cooking but not missing out on anything. Shower was great. Beds were very comfy. Laundry facilities was also great for a 2 week stay. There was heaps of tourist information available in the villa, including books for drives around Tuscany and where to eat. Was an added bonus and helped us with planning our days. Pantry was well stocked with some essentials and Lis provided a basket of fruit and eggs, milk, bread, butter and other essentials on our arrival which was very much appreciated and meant we didn't have to find a supermarket and drag our son around even more after arriving. Heating was good although a little expensive for us as i didnt want my son to be cold. We did have trouble with the internet connection on arrival but that was sorted in a few days and was not an issue for the rest of the trip. Lis was very accommodating and any questions were promptly answered. The villa is located on a winery with the owners house not far from the villa, this wasnt an issue for us but is something to be aware of. Unfortunately for us, the time of year we visited meant we missed out on late afternoon sun to sit outside and enjoy a wine as the sun had already gone down behind the hill by 3.30ish. But we still enjoyed a wine inside where we were nice and cosy. The town of radda was a few minutes drive away with some options for eating out and a Coop supermarket and couple local market shops. For those not used to shops closing in the afternoon, it pays to make sure your food and wine is organised before shops close at 1pm until 4pm. We travelled throughout Tuscany for a month and this is the one thing we struggled to get used to. We loved our stay and would stay again. We have some incredible memories of our first family holiday that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you Lis and Roberto!!

An amazing place to relax and explore
Our time at La Campanna was incredible. When you walk through the front door you instantly feel at home. Lis and Roberto were wonderful hosts, communicating everything we needed to know before our stay, quickly responded to our questions during the stay, and gave excellent recommendations for local restaurants to try. The house itself is located so that you can easily get to anywhere is Tuscany, but it’s also a great place to relax and unwind. We highly recommend La Campanna and cannot wait to stay here again!

Experiencing the heart of Radda In Chianti
From the moment we pulled into the driveway from the typical Chianti road we realized how perfect was this choice for our vacation. The words fail to capture the beauty of the area, our capanna, which is situated at the edge of one of their olive groves was no exception. As nice as all this sounds the real jewel of this property is Lis and Roberto, our host couple. They made us feel right at home, took time out from vineyard'ing to help us put together a dream in the time we had there. The word helpful does not begin to describe their warm hospitality. Roberto's final word during our Chianti Classico orientation was "The best thing you can do while traveling around Chianti is to get lost." No truer words! Ok, now to the actual accommodations: - the bedroom was very spacious and had plenty of dresser and wardrobe space - the bed was very comfortable - the bathroom was quite functional and CLEAN! - the kitchen was well equipped and we made use of it with the great coop there in Radda! - the floors were spotless - private patio and yard were well manicured and maintained Lastly, the wines and olive oil. The 6 different wines that we enjoyed were all just magnificent. Be sure to ask for food pairing recommendation if you need that. We had a thick cut porterhouse and sautéed veggies with their Chianti Classico riserva. Lovely! We greatly enjoyed our time at Val delle Corti and are already making plans to return.

Toskana im Winter
Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung im Herzen der Chianti Region. Die Wohnung liegt hervorragend und ist gut zu erreichen. Hier hat man eine schöne Ruhe was eine klasse Erholung bietet. Die Ausstattung in der Wohnung ist hervorragen und war für uns völlig ausreichend. Die Eigentümer und gleichzeitig die Vermieter der Wohnung (Liz & Roberto) wohnen im Haus neben an. Sie geben bei Bedarf gerne Tipps oder stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Sie sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Ortschaft Radda ist eine kleine und sehr schöne Stadt mit einem historischen Ortskern. Alles was man für seinen Aufenthalt benötigt kann man im Ort einkaufen. Von der Ferienwohnung aus lassen sich sehr viele Sehenswürdigkeiten der Chianti sowie der Toskana Region erreichen. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen und wir waren definitiv nicht das letzte Mal bei Liz & Roberto. Vielen Dank Euch beiden für die schönen und erholsamen Tage Michaela & Hubert

Perfection
There are no words to fully capture the beauty, charm, and warmth of Val del Corti. Lis and Roberto were the perfect hosts. The cottage is beautifully equipped and appointed, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen. We sat outside in the mornings drinking coffee while overlooking the valley, and had a beautiful hike into the town of Radda. Roberto gave us a wonderful wine tasting, which was one of the highlights of our trip. This is - by far - the best rental I’ve ever stayed at. Perfection. Thank you!!!!!

Such a lucky find!
My husband and I feel so fortunate to have located this beautiful property on a family owned and operated vineyard. Lis and Roberto have converted a two-story barn to a lovely, comfortable, sparkling clean and beautifully outfitted accommodation--a perfect combination of rustic and modern--with a shaded terrace perfect for outdoor dining. We awoke to the sun each morning rising across the beautiful Tuscan valley just outside our bedroom window. Radda-in-Chianti is an intimate Tuscan hill town with everything you need. And Lis and Roberto are wonderful hosts. Plan your itinerary around this stop--we just hit it lucky!!!

Im Chianti zuhause
Wir verbrachten eine Woche Ende Juli 2020 in Radda. Lis war zuvor äusserst flexibel und entgegenkommend gewesen für den Fall, dass wir aufgrund der Virussituation nicht hätten kommen können. Das Haus war perfekt gereinigt, so dass gar kein Unsicherheitsgefühl entstand. Komplett ausgestattet, Geschirr, Töpfe etc vollkommen in Ordnung und vollständig. Uns erwartete eine umfangreiche „Kühlschrankgrundausstattung“ (Butter, Wurst, Brot, Marmelade, Milch, Obst...und eine Flasche wunderbaren Rosatos vom eigenen Weingut. Die übrigen, exzellenten Weine durften wir später dann auch mit Robertos und Lis sachkundigen Erklärungen probieren (und ein paar Kisten fanden ihren Platz in unserem Kofferraum...). Wir haben dabei auch viel über die Geschichte und das Leben in der Gegend gelernt. Morgens konnten wir den Tag im sehr gepflegten Garten mit Blick über die Weinberge starten. Radda liegt ideal für Touren, man kann im einstündigen Umkreis eine Menge Ausflüge machen. Wir waren in Florenz, Arezzo (kannten wir vorher nicht, sehr empfehlenswert, weil herrlich entspannt mit zahlreichen Antiquitätenläden), San Gimignano und Volterra, und haben viele Dörfer im näheren Umkreis besucht. Zum Wandern war es leider zu heiss, aber es gibt sicher zahlreiche schöne Touren. Insgesamt ein toller Urlaub in einem fantastischen Häuschen, unterstützt durch unglaublich freundliche, hilfsbereite und gleichzeitig angenehm zurückhaltende Eigentümer.

Christmas in Chianti
We had the most wonderful time in this beautiful house. We wanted a peaceful and relaxing break and that is exactly what we got. On arrival, our host had left us some provisions including bread, milk, butter and fresh fruit - a lovely gesture much appreciated by both of us. Although many of the restaurants in Radda were closed it didn't stop us from exploring the area and making the most of the extensive walking opportunities in the area. We found the locals to be extremely friendly and helpful, particularly in the panificio semplice and the bar/pasticceria. We would definitely return here and highly recommend it to others.

About the host

Hosted by Lis Grundmann

Host profile image
I'm born in Germany, I studied architecture at Berlin. I live in Italy since 1991 where I met my husband Roberto. We took over the estate from Roberto's parents in 1999, where we live with our 2 children and Roberto's mother Eli.

Why they chose this property

In 1974 Giorgio Bianchi moved his family from Milan to Radda to fulfil the dream of a lifetime: living in the country and learning to make wine. This was a brave choice at a time when Chianti was a wild and wonderful place, economicially backward, and without good quality winegrowing and tourism, with a very few exceptions. With passion and a great deal of effort Giorgio and his wife Eli rebuilt the long-abandoned farmhouse, replanted the vineyards and built a small cellar. After Giorgio passed away prematurely in 1999, his son Roberto took over the winery. He and his wife Lis have succeeded in developing the farm’s potential and bringing its wine production to an excellent standard.

What makes this property unique

Val delle Corti is a realy beautiful place, even if we live and work here every day we still see it. I first came here as a turist and I enjoyed the possibilities to see all these cities of tuscan art and to relax at home in the garden with its beautiful view, the sun and peace.
