Photos and Description of the Castellina in Chianti vacation farmhouse rental
4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (3 en-suite), sleeps 8.

Spacious (260 sq metres), very well equipped house on two floors forming part of renovated historic farm hamlet. The estate covers 5 acres, and includes eight houses set in lovely gardens, sharing a 20 metre mosaic-lined pool and tennis court. Our house, the largest in the hamlet, has a private terrace and garden, and a beautiful shaded outside dining area. Spectacular views include mountains, vineyards, and the distant mediaeval towers of San Gimignano.

As our second home, we have created a very comfortable environment. There are several very attractive architectural details. Inside, the floors are either marble or terra cotta tiles, and the furniture is a tasteful mixture of period and modern. Two double and two twin bedrooms are complemented by marble tiled bathrooms. The spacious arched living area has well stocked bookshelves, a wide selection of music and videos, and an open log fireplace. A large rustic kitchen has every convenience for the most enthusiastic cook.

The house is set on a hilltop in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, surrounded by rolling vineyards, olive groves, and wooded hills behind. Castellina, a charming small hill town, is 5kms distant, while Siena is about 25mins by car, and Florence less than an hour. The coast can be reached in about 90 minutes, and Rome in less than three hours. While the setting is idyllically peaceful, many amenities are nearby. The area is plentifully supplied with good restaurants, the closest being only a few minutes drive away. The area is most attractive in all seasons; spring bringing an abundance of wild flowers, while the winter often has cold, clear sunshine with outstanding views.

Notes: Our house, while very spacious, is suitable for couples, single or sharing families of up to eight people, and offers great comfort at all times of the year. One bedroom can be used as either double or twin, or for three children, although we prefer not have more than eight people in total. The pool and extensive gardens offer peace and relaxation, and for the more energetic, the area is ideal for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits. The house is both cool in summer and warm in winter. The outdoor dining area can be used even when raining, while in the winter months full central heating and a supply of logs for the large open fire maintain a very cosy atmosphere. Our caretaker is available daily to deal with any problems.

Loved our stay!

Review Submitted: October 31, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
All I can say is that we loved our stay!! Your place is spectacular! The commodities are exceptional. The best kitchen I have ever seen in a while! We have rented other properties with Home Away and were very satisfied. Yours tops it up!!! The location, the view, the pool, the rooms and all commodities were absolutely outstanding!! Would we go back again? Yes, in a New York minute! I would recommend and I will to everyone who wants an unforgettable ''No regrets'' vacation.

Thank you so much!

A Beautiful Location and Great Home

Review Submitted: June 28, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
What a special place - great location and views! The photos do not do this home justice - the views are beyond beautiful, you can see for miles over the countryside and on a sunny morning you can see the towers of San Gimignano! The bedrooms are very spacious, with clean linens, and each bathroom is very modern and super clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook everything from a quick breakfast to a full dinner for 5. We loved the dining room - although we didnt get to use it very often because we preferred sitting outside at one of the many outdoor tables with their spectacular views. We were concerned by earlier comments about previous "neighbors", but the families in neighboring villas were all exceptionally friendly, always ready to share advice about their favorite hill towns, restaurants, etc. Great restaurants and a Coop grocery about 10-15 minutes away in Castellina in Chianti and also Monteriggioni. Swimming pool is beautiful and absolutely huge, and it was fun having a tennis court on site!

Villa In Chianti Region of Tuscany

Review Submitted: November 17, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
The Villa actually exceeded expectations from the photos and website description. It is more beautiful then the photos show. The vistas are spectacular and the house fit me and my guests lifestyle to a T. Seven of us, 3 couples and 1 single enjoyed a wonderful week with spacious bedrooms with bathrooms inside 3 out of 4 of the bedrooms, a great living and dining room that made us all comfy and at the same time provided each of us the privacy needed. The patio/terrace was truly our favorite part. It is multi-leveled with several dining and seating options to take in a glass of wine and the beautiful scenery of mountains, vineyards, rolling country side and olive trees---absolutely spectacular. The kitchen is so inviting...we only ate out twice and cooked the other nights. We never wanted for any utensils or dishes, the kitchen is well stocked. The gardens and courtyards are immaculately maintained. The owner was very accomadating and prompt in his responses to all inquiries prior to our trip. The location is great, with a top notch winery within 3 miles and other smaller wineries close by. The village of Castellina in Chianti is so quaint and wonderful to bike ride through or just shop. My only complaint is 1 of the neighbors/owners were very rude and treated us like a pack of teenagers---we were all between 48 and 60 years old! The first night we were so excited to be there. We all gathered outside drinking wine, sharing munchies, stories about our journey from 3 countries to arrive at the Villa.... and we had Italian Classical Music playing on the outside terrace at 6:30 PM. The rude neighbor sceamed at us to turn the music down or off and a few other not so niceties. We were quite taken back as the music was not loud and it was very early in the evening. There were a few more issues during the week where they were rude to us as we greeted them or asked questions. We learned quickly to avoid them, as the rest of the neighbors/owners were quite pleasant, especially the English couple two doors down who entertained a lot and shared great restaurant and local information with us.

We have and will continue to recommended this location and Vlla to our friends who saw our pictures with their mouths open with envy.

Regards,

MBG

Paradise

Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Tuscany itself is beautiful but staying a week in this Villa was by far the highlight of our stay in Italy. The gardens and grounds were beautifully maintained, the Villa meticulously clean and well appointed with every comfort you could imagine. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and hope to return ourselves.
