Nice property in the Tuscan countryside
Our stay was wonderful aside from a few manageable challenges. Our apartment was lovely, clean, and spacious, with a nice bedroom, living area, bathroom, and outdoor sitting area / view. The view, however, was 80% blocked by a long green construction fence because of recent storm damage, while the view from the pool was stunning as advertised. The location was central to Tuscany, convenient with easy access by car to many beautiful Tuscan destinations, with the local town wonderful as advertised. Owner communications with specific directions to the property were delayed, causing confusion upon arrival which unfortunately was at night, and given the rough nature of the property access road, resulted in minor damage to our rental vehicle, but once we knew which driveway to enter, all was well. The kitchen was functional and supported all our mealtime needs. Guests just need to come well stocked with any coffee and food condiments required. Navigating Florence or any of the local towns, was a challenge for two specific reasons. "Low Emissions Zones", if violated, result in traffic-camera based tickets, and it's not clear how to keep from violating these zones.. A constant issue. Parking was also a challenge, but garages in Florence were available albeit a bit pricy. Parking near mountaintop towns were hit and miss...some had well marked lots, some not. All in all, a very nice property, wonderful host, and a lovely stay with a few manageable challenges.

Beautiful location in Castellina in Chianti
We stayed for one week in September. The accommodations were great. Had everything we needed in our apt. Had lovely grape vines that hung over our sitting area right outside our door. It had a beautiful pool overlooking the region. (A tad chilly for me - I would have liked it a little warmer but my spouse found it fine.) The village of Castellina is quaint and has everything you need. I went to a wine store (can’t remember the name) but you could buy a wine card for $10 euro and got to try 8 different fabulous wines. Best bargain anywhere. Of course I ended up buying a lovely bottle from there. I even got to see his wine cellar which was lovely. Did day trips from our base here to Montepulciano, Pisa, Sienna. We bought food at the local Co-op so had a lot of meals at our place but did eat a couple meals out locally and the food is fabulous. Lovely relaxing holiday.

Paradijs
Wat een ervaring. Dit sfeervolle paradijs ligt op een rustige locatie op slechts 10 minuten lopen van het stadje. We werden keurig ontvangen door Linda. Het appartement was schoon en goed onderhouden evenals de omliggende tuin en het zwembad. De omgeving biedt veel mogelijkheden voor dagtrips, wandel- of fietstochten. In het stadje zijn goede restaurants en het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Voor ons een top vakantie en wij zullen dus zeker nog eens teruggaan.

Beautiful Home in Great Location
We couldn't believe how beautiful this property and home was when we pulled in - the pictures don't do it justice! The location is also amazing for visiting neighboring areas for day or half day trips. We only stayed for 2 nights, but wished we had more time to enjoy the pool and grounds. Would definitely come back to stay here!

A home from home in beautiful Tuscany
Linda was a wonderful host, nothing was too much trouble for her. The accommodation was very spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Gardens were very spacious, well kept and a peaceful place to sit and relax in total privacy. Nice restaurants and a gelateria in the town which is within walking distance. Thanks Linda for making our stay so enjoyable, hopefully we will return one day!

Hidden gem
My husband and I were pleasantly surprised how wonderful this place was. Linda from day one was very friendly and accommodating to us. Gave wonderful recommendations to all the great food in the area. The location was just right amount of space for privacy, yet close enough to still walk to. It’s a bit of a climb but totally worth it if you want to burn off those gelato calories lol. We definitely want to come back again! We already miss it ~

Belle villa bien située dans le Chianti
La villa est très bien située et tout était propre et conforme aux photos. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour. L’accueil a été un peu particulier car la personne qui nous a accueilli était malade et avait de la difficulté à se déplacer et à parler. Cela n’est pas très rassurant. Nous ne l’avons pas revu du séjour. Sinon, la maison comme tel et le terrain valent le détour. Vous avez besoin d’une bonne voiture avec bons pneus pour descendre et monter la côte où se trouve la maison.

We were looking for a laid back break in the middle of our 2 week trip to Italy, this was it ! Old farmhouse 1 mile from the closest town...again, perfect. Town had everything you would need. Restaurants, wine bars, shopping, grocery store...all charming. Old farmhouse with modern amenities including great pool. Fresh grapes, peaches, tomatoes and olives right outside our door. Linda was a great host, all was good. Will definitely return !

Ideally situated for a holiday in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Good location for visiting Siena; Florence and Pisa.. In close proximity to the local town ( fifteen minutes walk albeit uphill ) with an array of restaurants to entice. Also a gelateria with ice cream sent from Heaven ! Truly amazing swimming pool with marvellous views over Tuscany, Linda was a friendly and helpful host kindly sharing vegetables from her garden with us and offering local information.

Traumhaus
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt, es gab nicht wirklich etwas zu bemängeln. Die Vermieterin ist auch ständig hinterher und kam in der Woche mehrmals fragen, ob alles in Ordnung sei . Die Lage mit der Nähe zu vielen wunderbaren Orten und Städten ist perfekt. Der Poolbereich war einfach wundervoll. Wir haben einen Bereich mit 3 Liegen zugewiesen bekommen, der den ganzen Urlaub reserviert war. Man musste also keine Angst haben, an den Pool zu kommen und alles ist voll. Das fand ich sehr angenehm. Alles in allem bedanken wir uns für eine wundervolle Woche Urlaub in Castellina.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Blakley

Host profile image
Owned and run by our family the property offers our guests a warm and welcome enviroment in which to enjoy typical tuscan hospitality and enjoy genuine produce such as our own extra virgin olive oil, grapes, fruit and vegetables in season all produced by ourselves.

Why they chose this property

Our surrounding countryside is the ideal place to enjoy nature in peace and quiet, relax, walk or trek the ancient Via Romea which crosses our property. Here you can admire the beautiful scenery over the Val d’elsa and see in the distance the towers of San Gimignano and the surrounding hills of Monteriggioni, Colle Val d’elsa and Casole d’elsa. Florence is 45 minutes by car and Siena 25 minutes. There is much to do and see in this area and the property is ideally situated to explore Chianti and beyond. A 15 minute walk takes you into the town of Castellina where you will find shops and galleries, many very good restaurants, pizzerias and cafès, a supermarket, winecellars and excellent icecream. The town itself is lovely to explore and there are many organised events which we will let you know about in advance. The area has many very good wineries to visit and partake in winetasting and we can organise winetours with pick up and drop off here on the property. These tours take in 2 or more wineries and include lunch or dinner for a very good price.

What makes this property unique

The result of this work is a harmonious and comfortable enviroment which provides three apartments selectly decorated with traditional rural tuscan furnishings. The restoration that has been done is in bio edilizia or ecologically restored using only ecological materials so that the house and apartments breathe. The setting is such that there are stunning views over the surrounding valleys and Tuscan countryside. While we are close to the town center we are also a very quiet and tranquill
spot where one can relax and enjoy the Tuscan surroundings.
