Quel séjour fabuleux ! L'endroit donne l'impression de régner sur le domaine. C'est magique et super bien aménagé, tout y est, autant dans la cuisine que sur le terrain, rien ne manque. L'accueil est fantastique, les communications sont fluides et simples et pas vraiment requises car aucun problème ne peut vraiment arriver. La réservation est facile, les questions que j'ai posé à Massimiliano ont été répondues promptement et Veronica nous attendait à notre arrivée, un accueil parfait. Nous avons séjourné deux semaines et nous avons aimé chaque moment.

We arrived to a very beautiful small village. The location was stunning and the property was very inviting. The local town is about 7 minutes drive and has everything you need.The owners were amazing and the welcome basket was just delicious.Playing tennis and swimming with views of the rolling countryside is just idyllic.

Peace and tranquility

Our stay in this enchanting little village was just perfection. Our renovated “barn” was so cozy and comfortable, Our host, Veronica could not have been more attentive to our needs (it was quite cold when we were there and she made sure we had fuel, etc to stay warm). She also brought us wine and olive oil from her family and a delicious tart. It was peaceful, beautiful and everything we could have hoped for. Thank you Veronica and Massimiliano for sharing your magical little corner of Italy! We certainly hope to return!

Perfect getaway in Tuscany

Wow! We could not be more pleased with our stay at Castellina in Chianti. We were greeted warmly, with welcome gifts (wine, olive oil, a delicious tart, and fresh fruit). The property provided us incomparable vistas from the generous terrace and along shady hiking trails. We were comfortable in the spacious living area and bedrooms. All amenities were in great working order and gave us just the respite we were seeking. Plus, after a long day of sightseeing in nearby Florence, the beautifully located swimming pool was the perfect way to cool off. We want to return and will recommend this lovely gem of a spot to our fellow travelers and friends!

Amazing stay in hilltop village

We loved this charming, rustic house (part of a bigger building with other accommodation). It's part of a tiny village at the top of a long track through olive groves. Fantastic views and a wonderful place to relax. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful location, tranquil stay

We are a family from Vienna who stayed a few days in this very quiet scenic location. The house was comfortable, the owner hospitable and helpful, and the views (and smells) unforgettable. There is good access to towns around and many places are within the 45 minute radius -it is different from staying in a town but that's what we desired. It was our first use of this website and everything worked fine. We will return !

Zeer compleet huis. Met grote ramen. Als het minder weer is, heb je leuk uitzicht over het dorpje. Mooi zwembad geen schaduw. Tuin voldoende plek om zon of schaduw te hebben.Het lijkt of je een vrijstaand huis huurt maar je hebt directe buren. Rechts en links. Je kunt het treffen of niet. Binnen doodstil.

Tranquillité au milieu des vignes et des oliviers

Super endroit à l'abri du monde, dans un paysage toscan enchanteur. La maison est charmante tout en restant très simple. Nous avons profité de la terrasse, du tennis et des environs de la maison sans devoir toujours prendre la voiture. Nos deux adolescents, même sans télé, mais avec un excellent wi-fi, y ont également trouvé du charme et du plaisir. Un excellent endroit pour toute la famille !

Sehr nettes Urlaubsdomizil

Wir haben uns prima erholt in diesem grandiosen Ferienhäuschen mit großer Terrasse und tollem Ausblick über die Toskana. Viele attraktive Ausflugsziele sind in der Nähe. Noch näher: Pool und Tennisplatz. Super! Das Haus selbst ist auch sehr schön und praktikabel eingerichtet. Natürlich gibt es auch Kritikpunkte, aber sie konnten unser sehr positives Gesamtfazit nicht beeinflussen; wir nennen sie trotzdem: Zu einer "fully equipped" Küche gehören unserer Meinung nach auch ein Geschirrspüler und eine Filter-Kaffeemaschine - beides fehlte aber. Und wozu gibt es Töpfe, die nicht für den Induktionsherd geeignet sind - die passenden mussten wir durch Ausprobieren herausfinden? Ein Fernseher hätte auch nicht geschadet, obwohl wir ihn dann in der tollen Urlaubsumgebung doch kaum vermisst haben.

Le lieu était somptueux et très bien placé dans la toscane ce qui nous a permis de rayonner. L'endroit était très typique et beau dans un village toscan en pleine nature.

Sehr erholsame ruhige Lage

Das Haus liegt in einem ruhigen abgelegenen Dorf inmitten von Olivenbäumen, das man über eine ca. 2 km lange Kiesstraße erreicht. Es gibt keinen Durchgangsverkehr und eignet sich mit dem Gemeinschaftspool für einen sehr erholsamen Urlaub. In dem Haus selbst befinden sich noch 2 weitere Ferienwohnungen. Veronica, die Vermieterin, reagierte schnell auf Rückfragen und kümmerte sich umgehend um etwaige Anliegen. In dem Haus gibt es soweit alles was man braucht. Eine Spülmaschine gab es leider nicht. Die fest installierte Klimaanlage kühlt sehr gut. Innerhalb von einer halben Stunde lassen sich viele schöne Dörfer und Städte mit dem Auto erreichen. Wir haben uns rund um wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen. In
