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.

I think if I ever stayed in Chianti Classico again, I would ask for this exact same place. The views from the mountaintop were incredible, olive trees, everywhere, thousand year old property, it doesn’t get much better than that!

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!

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.

Séjour du 17 au 24 Août

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. L'accueil du propriétaire était très sympathique avec du chianti et de l'huile d'olive. Je recommande fortement, vous ne serez pas déçu !

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

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Il Granaio! Das Haus war super ausgestattet, sehr gemütlich und in toller Lage. Die große Terrasse grenzt an den Olivenhain und lädt zum Entspannen, sowie Rückzug in der Hitze ein. Es gibt alles, was man braucht. Der Swimmingpool, sowie der Tennisplatz sind tolle Aktivitäten direkt in der Nähe. Die Kommunikation verlief sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Herbsferien

Das Haus liegt sehr schön in einem gemütlichen und netten alten (Ferien)Dorf. Der Garten und die Terrasse sind noch viel größer und schöner als wie auf den Bildern abgebildet. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas abseits vom nächsten Ort. Ein Aufenthalt mit einem Auto ist erforderlich, der nächste Ort zu weit weg um schnell Frühstück holen zu gehen oder am Abend noch schnell Essen zu gehen. Ich würde empfehlen ein Kochbuch einzupacken, in Poggibonsi in den großen Coop einkaufen zu gehen und am Abend gemütlich zu kochen. Die Unterkunft ist auch perfekt für Tagesausflüge nach Siena, Florenz oder San Gimignano geeignet. Die Schlafzimmer sind sehr sauber. Wer den Außengriller nützen möchte sollte selbst (trockene) Kohle mitnehmen. Ich bin mir auch nicht sicher ob das vorhandene Holz zum Einheizen (drinnen) wirklich geeignet ist (ev. mitnehmen wer eines zur Verfügung hat). Danke für die schönen Tage, die Freundlichkeit und die Aufmerksamkeiten! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
