Sangiovese Country House, apartment with pool in a small village in the hills of Chianti

The best accommodation we had in Tuscany! All we needed (and more) for a two week stay.Highlights: * Well equipped kitchen* Good AC in the main room and both bedrooms* Really good beds* Nice terrace* Spacious showers* Clean pool* Beautiful views across the Pesa valley

A perfect place to get away from it all but close enough to explore the beautiful cities and towns in Tuscany. Lovely views from the pool, we were lucky and had it mainly to ourselves. The villa had everything we needed, it’s has a tradition Tuscan feel which is just what we wanted. The property is approached by a long bumpy dusty track, which for us wasn’t a problem in fact it was quite fun, and worth it for the peaceful setting. Thanks to Claudio for for his warm welcome and Tuscan goodies.

Beautifully situated and equipped property. Everything ran smoothly and Antonella was very helpful and easy to contact. We loved the seclusion and the beautiful views on each side of the mountain with a wonderful pool. Everything was provided for and was more than enough for us. There is a track leading to the property but the Fiat Panda we hired was more than suitable. All the properties in the area have slow Wi-Fi so I would recommend you use your 4/5G on your smart phones. We had no trouble getting a signal. This was an excellent away from it all place nestled in the Tuscan countryside but not far from so many historical places eg Florence, Siena etc. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful home in Tavernelle Val di Pesa in a country setting. The house is beautifully decorated, the bedrooms large with king size beds, and the bathrooms are updated. There is a washing machine and a drying rack. There was a bottle of local Chianti as well as some fruit and snacks upon our arrival. The pool area was beautiful (although it was too cold to swim) and we watched a couple of breathtaking sunsets from the lounge chairs by the pool. The back terrace was very nice and we drank our coffee there, weather permitting. Unfortunately, it rained four of the five days we were at this house, which made the drive on the dirt road somewhat treacherous because of the potholes. This house was situated about an hour drive from Siena and a half hour drive to Greve in Chianti. The small and picturesque town of Badia di Passignano is very close by. A supermarket and gas station are about a 20 minute drive from the house. Claudio was available by phone and met us in Badia to escort us to the house. If you’re looking for a peaceful hillside retreat, this house will not disappoint!
