In the middle of the triangle formed by Florence, Siena, and Arezzo, this rental villa is in an ideal spot for day trips throughout the Tuscany/Chianti region. The nearest small town is Lucolena, which is about a kilometer's walk uphill from the villa and has a small store with basic essentials, a pub, and an inexpensive (but delicious) pizza place. Just a little further is Dimezzano-- an even smaller town with one outstanding restaurant. Nearby Greve is one of the central towns of the Chianti, with a wine shop literally around every corner. There is a market here every Saturday morning, and a train station that will take you to Florence in 20 minutes.
Florence, Siena: 35 km
Figline Valdarno (train station): 8 km
Greve: 8 km
Dimezzano: 2.5 km

Overall:
We would go back again and again.
Enjoyed Most:
We loved everything. The location, the view, the way we were treated by the owner, the facilities. There is really nothing that I would change.
Unpleasant Surprises:
I cannot think of anything, except the difficulty in using the washing machine.
Surrounding Area:
The views and the people. The scenery was spectacular. It was close to a number of small and very interesting towns. All the people we came in contact with were so friendly and generous.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Lucolena. You could walk there but it was all uphill.
Tips or Restaurants:
We really did not bring anything more than what was recommended in the information provided by RentVillas and we found we did not need anything else. We loved a little restaurant just past Lucolena called Locanda Borgo Antico. It was a wonderful little place with outstanding food and a very friendly owner. We also loved the towns of Castellina and Cortona.

Overall:
It far exceeded out expectations. There wasn't anything we would change.
Enjoyed Most:
Everything! the villa was clean, spacious, and had gorgeous views. Also a great location.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Nothing.
Surrounding Area:
The wineries. We visited many.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Lucolena is about one mile away. We walked to it but it is up a steep hill and I would not suggest walking it at night. Other towns are Greve, Figlini, each about a 20 minute drive.
Tips or Restaurants:
There are several good restaurants in Greve, which is only a 20 minute drive. the whole area has much to offer. We took a train from Figlini into Florence. Also able to visit Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo and Radda.
Directions:
We followed them exactly and had no trouble at all.
Check In Out:
The keyholder was very accommodating.

Overall:
We found heaven on earth. All ten of us felt this way.
Enjoyed Most:
We loved the fact that there were private areas in the villa for all ten of us! Although we all loved being together for meals and chats, it was also wonderful to know that there was privacy for reading, taking a nap, walking around the property etc. The views were also sensational!
Unpleasant Surprises:
That's a tough question----we loved it so much. Hmmmmm.......the best I can do is that we never sat in the corner living room because of its darkly colored walls and furniture. I had to really think about this question
Surrounding Area:
Tha surrounding area was rustic and quaint and we all loved it. Walking into Lucolena was special since we knew we were guests in this little town. Nobody spoke any English and we communicated with our basic Italian and charades. Somehow they understood us and helped us out. The little pizzeria was lots of fun and had great food, too.
Nearby Events or Locales:
If surrounding area means around our villa, well, it was perfect. Places to walk and hike, a wonderful family nearby with a grandmother who spoke to us as we petted her dog "Nerone" - conversation entirely in Italian, the vineyard and tour given by Leonardo, the garden area with blooming lilacs. The little town was one mile away, up a hill, but, quite doable.
Tips or Restaurants:
This villa far exceeded our expectations. Every morning we'd open the windows and say "Another day in Paradise". Our weather was blue skies, sunny, and temps in the 70's and 80's. It was an unusual run of warm weather for the end of April and we all thought that the gods were smiling on us. The suggestions that were made on what to bring were excellent---even the list of suggested grocery items. If renters do their research and read the suggestions that you provided, all will be great. Restaurants? Well, we did eat at a great restaurant in Panzano, but, I can't remember the name. It was an accidental "find" as we were walking a back street and the restaurant has a hanging wisteria garden and overlooks the whole valley.
Check In Out:
It was well executed both times.
