Belle maison située au cœur du Chianti. Très grande piscine. Environnement calme seulement troublé par les moustiques le soir. Literie confortable, cuisine bien équipée et terrasse couverte bien agréable pour manger dehors à l ombre. 3 salles de bain très pratiques pour des locations à plusieurs familles.

Villa proche du magnifique village de Greve in Chianti, où vous trouverez la boutique Falorni, charcuteries variées, cave à fromage....juste après le village Montefioralle pour déguster du chianti. A 1h15 de Sienne, idem de Florence. Les routes sont des petites routes de montagne, donc prévoir lors des déplacements plus de temps de route (pour faire 50km compter 1h30).

nous pensions être un peu plus près des grands centre; mais finalement, nous étions tous bien content le soir de revenir le soir dans notre petit coin tranquille qui nous a aussi permis de profiter aussi de la belle campagne Toscane. excellente formule de voyage; nous sommes tous tombé en amour pour cet endroit.
à refaire !

le village de Montefiorale: tout y était charmant et parfait !

We loved the house with its beautiful garden and pool and would definitely return there. The bedrooms were all doubles and of a similar size (the beds are fairly hard). There is a is very well equipped kitchen, with plenty of cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery and also a dishwasher and filter coffee machine. The outside dining area is a roofed terrace with a BBQ and is just amazing, we spent almost every evening enoying the atmosphere and the view. The garden is very well kept and our kids played a lot of table tennis. As we visited the house in May the pool was fairly cool, but very clean and refreshing. We didn't have any problems with the bathrooms - there was plenty of hot water and the downstairs shower is very large. We were met at the house by Gianna and her mother and they were very werlcoming and had lots of good tips.

Lucolena is a small village - the shop is just a few minutes away and does great coffee. It's probably best to order bread rolls as we did, after we were too late on our first day and nothing was left. The ladies in the shop were really friendly and helpful (for a big shop the coop in Figline is best). In Lucolena itself, there is a small restaurant downstairs in the Casa del Popolo (open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening and also Sat. and Sun morning for coffee and delicious homemade pastries), we didin't get to eat there in the eveing as we didn't reserve and were too big a group, but it is apparently excellent. A highlight was the cook that we booked via this website. Her name was Antonella and she came to the house and made us a fantastic meal (all served to us and the kitchen was spotless afterwards). Greve in Chianti is lovely as is Radda and obviously the big cities are a must. Driving places takes a long time due to the hilly countryside.

This was a lovely villa in a great little town. The townspeople are very friendly and the local Alimentari, Bar and Pizza restaurant are brilliant.

In the villa the bedrooms were all good size and showers and kitchen facilities were great (especially the oven). There were some issues with power shorting out, this is easily fixed by reseting at power meter outside kitchen.

Might be good idea to bring travel clothes line to hang out washing especially in large groups. There is no clothes line.

Lastly, recommended to advise the owner if you have copies of your passport as that may mean you don't have to go to a nearby town to 'checkin' prior to going to the villa (which is about 30 mins out of way).

The local Alimentari, Bar and Pizzeria are all recommended. Amazing Osteria called L'Osteria Del Rifugio Del Chianti, just 10 minutes away. May be best to book, but we turned up with nine people and were accommodated with minimum fuss. Nearby town of Greve on Chianti has great co-op plus a Sunday market with lots to see. Good base to see Siena and San Gimignano.

Insgesamt waren wir zufrieden. Einige Dinge wären als Verbesserung anzuregen. Es gibt am Pool nur einen einzigen Sonnenschirm, den man nicht bewegen konnte. So kann man nicht im Schatten am Pool liegen, was den Komfort natürlich sehr beeinträchtigt. Auf Nachfrage meinten die beiden Damen, das käme zu teuer, da der Wind die Schirme immer umwerfe. So muss man halt in der Sonne bruzzeln oder eben nicht im Garten liegen. Die Fliegen und Mücken im Haus waren sehr unangenehm, vor allem im Treppenhaus sammelten sie sich massenweise. Wer bei diesem Klima ohne Klimaanlage bei geschlossenem Fenster schlafen kann, hat weniger Probleme. Wir konnten es nicht und wurden viel gestochen. in dieser Kategorie sollten eigentlich ausreichend Fliegenschutzgitter angebracht sein.

Unter der Woche waren die meisten Restaurants in den kleineren Ortschaften geschlossen, man muss also schon bis Greve fahren.

Je recommande cette villa nous avons passé une superbe semaine.
Très calme un havre de paix.
Vous avez un centre commercial Coop à 15 min en voiture donc très pratique.
Et de plus Gianna est très chaleureuse et également très accueillante.
Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir.
Ciao.
Astrid
