In the countryside between Florence and Siena, this Tuscany apartment sits in the heart of the Chianti Classico area-- a prime region for wine tasting. The nearest town is Castellina in Chianti, a medieval village that was once on the front lines of the wars between Florence and Siena. Today, the old fort, in the central square, is home to the municipal offices, and the covered gallery once part of the city fortifications has become the magnificent Via delle Volte. Other sights in town include the Castello (which exhibits Etruscan artifacts), the 16th century church of San Salvatore, and its 14th century fresco of the Madonna by Bicci di Lorenzo. Of course you'll also want to organize a few day trips to some of the other great cities in the area, including beautiful Siena, Arezzo, and San Gimignano. Or, for a more impromptu visit, explore some of the authentic little hill towns on your own.

Enjoyed Most:
The location was excellent for our relaxed holiday.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The living room/kitchen. The room was dark and had only two 'comfortable' chairs for a property that sleeps six comfortably. It was not the right weather for sitting outside, but in any case, as our apartment had no convenient place to do so.<
Surrounding Area:
The wine, the food, the beautiful scenery.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The nearest small town is Castellina di Chianti. It is 7 km from the property and would be a dangerous walk on the side of the road.
Tips or Restaurants:
The Tre Porte restaurant in Castellina was our favorite dining experience for the week. The Gallo Pappa restaurant in Castellina was a spectacular, special occasion treat.

Enjoyed Most:
Getting home to the glorious pool. The people are lovely and very friendly.
Unpleasant Surprises:
There was no true patio for our particular house. It was right on the driveway.
Surrounding Area:
Tuscany is truly one of the most picturesque areas in the world.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Castellina in Chianti - not within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
A Sharp knife if you plan to cut anything to cook. Otherwise the kitchen is nicely furnished.
July, 2005
Show All 9 Reviews
Enjoyed Most:
Beautiful views, wonderful old stone buildings, olive trees everywhere, and the amazing vineyards.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The beds.
Surrounding Area:
Location was perfect for visiting the small towns, touristy town must-sees and easy distance to Siena and Florence. Castelina in Chianti was very close and a wonderful small town
Nearby Events or Locales:
Castelina was about 5 km away
Tips or Restaurants:
There is a great restaurant in the middle of Castelina, just off the main shopping area and at the end of a small piazza, next to a church. Buy their olive oil. It is very good, and the wine was very tasty, too.
Directions:
Make sure you are headed for the right villa, as there are several names in the area that are very similar.
