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!

Stunning
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!

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.

Beautiful location, tranquil stay
We are a family from Vienna who stayed a few days in this very quiet scenic location. The house was comfortable, the owner hospitable and helpful, and the views (and smells) unforgettable. There is good access to towns around and many places are within the 45 minute radius -it is different from staying in a town but that's what we desired. It was our first use of this website and everything worked fine. We will return !

Région très verte et accueillante à cette période de l'année. Petit déj au jardin, soirée au feu de bois et toute une journée pour découvrir les villes incontournables de Toscane...avec en prime des parties de tennis sur un court en très bon état! Merci pour votre accueil, votre Chianti et votre huile d'olive exceptionnelle!
