The legendary beauty of Tuscany is on full display. Rolling hills full of grapevines and olive trees as far as the eye can see. Very remote but also very beautiful. The villa has plenty of charm and space. Small issues due to the age of the place: unstable hot water and heating, awkward kitchen. But these are minor. We were lucky to be there at harvest time and local wineries were a real treat.
Beautiful property with stupendous views of Tuscan hills. Close to town with all amenities. Rustic road to property not a problem.
Beautiful furnishings, with a small kitchen.
The photos and description give you a good idea of the house. What made it the perfect place for us to stay was the fact that it is located on top of a small hill, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. It has a breathtaking view from its terrace, where you can enjoy a glass of Chianti and enjoy the sunset over the Tuscan landscape. What a great place to stay!
Away from it all In beautiful Toscana (Greve in Chianti)
Daniela was very responsive with our questions and requests - as was Eduardo. I really enjoyed the rustic villa and the solitude. The location was only about an hour away from Firenze (Santa Maria Novella train station).
We rented a car at the nearby Hertz, and took a few excursions: San Gimignanoâ - about an hour away, and Dario Cecchiniâs restaurant in Panzano (about 30 minutes away).
I would recommend this place - it was well worth the cost.
Waking up in the morning to the Tuscan sun rising above the surrounding hills was a magical moment I will never forget. The view from the front yard of the property was panoramic and picturesque. It almost made me forget how hard it was to find the place in the dark, with inadequate directions. Almost. If I had to do it over again, Iâd arrive late afternoon in the daylight. The property is only accessible through a rugged dirt road. Also the address given didnât work in my Maps app. Only when I put in âLa Veronica resortâ did I get accurate info. But once there, my wife and I adored the cottage, and wished we could stay longer. No suggestions of local attractions (we found some amazing activities) no connection to the nearby St. Stefanos winery, no welcome and explanation of the property by someone who spoke English. But a gem nonetheless. Thank you.
Amazing property and location. Much further out than we had anticipated, but truly beautiful. If you don't have a car, be prepared. The taxi to and from Florence was $90 each way. LOCK THE DOORS & take food to snack on or cook. We were able to attain Breakfast from the adjoining Inn for a small cost, but I don't think that is always offered and certainly not included. We had planned on using the pool, it was not open yet for the season.
This was my second stay at La Veronica Resort and the first at the cottage. If you are in Tuscany this is the place to be. Close enough to Florence but far enough away to be in the countryside and truly experience Italy and Tuscany. The staff could not be more kind and helpful. This cottage is rustic Italian. If you want all the bells and whistles and no charm stay somewhere else. This made us feel like we were in heaven every day and we loved every minute of our stay. The bedrooms are spacious .. on suites for each are nice⊠the kitchen is tiny but who cooks in Tuscany? There are hundreds of restaurants in the small towns nearby! The views ⊠they donât get any better. We will be back ! Feels like home away from home in Tuscany! I just canât say enough nice things about this place!!
We were told this was an offsite villa via VRBO but it was not the case as this is part of the La Veronica Resort in Greve. The rooms were directly visible from the morning eating sites. If you require privacy, this isnât the place for you. The beds feel like sleeping on a steel slab and the furniture hasnât been updated in 30+ years. The basement being a cellar had a great appeal originally, however, the cloth furniture doesnât stand a chance against how damp the area gets. The kitchen was nice to work in and well equipped, however, I found it weird there was no oil to cook with but 3 different types of pepper. Also, upon check out we found mold everywhere while trying to clean up the dishes (this is what dropped it to a two star rating as we were so grossed out after prepping/cooking in there every day). The pool was also promised to be private, however, you share it with the resort (though not a big deal as not many where using the amenity and it was quite well maintained). We also were told not to park in our private lot as âthatâs where the tour busses turn aroundâ, which they did every morning at 7am unloading hordes of noise and people.
Service through the VRBO was practically non-existent. No welcome except for the handyman asking for a picture of our passport and city tax collection to validate our stay.
The views from this place are magnificent which was its redeeming quality. For the price, we will next time be staying within the city or a nicer r
Wir haben das Haus und dessen Umgebung als gemĂŒtlich und ruhig empfunden, zusĂ€tzlich gut ausgestattet BĂ€der waren modern und gut ausgestattet. Das Haus war eine richtige WohlfĂŒhloase. Ein kleines Manko war einzig die nur ĂŒber Schotterpiste zu erreichende Location. Ich hoffe, mein Auto hat diese Strapaze gut ĂŒberstanden. Wir wĂŒrden den Aufenthalt inklusive Ansprechpartner gerne weiterempfehlen. Ach ja, zur besseren Nutzung der KĂŒchengerĂ€te (GeschirrspĂŒler) wĂ€re eine Gebrauchsanweisung vielleicht ganz hilfreich.
Leider wich die RealitĂ€t vor Ort von den Fotos im Inserat teilweise stark ab. Lage und Aussicht sind toll . Das Haus selber wirkt innen etwas renovierungsbedĂŒrftig aus. Schlecht war auch der Check in . Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist katastrophal . WĂŒrden hier nicht wieder buchen.
Dieses kleine romantische Haus liegt neben einem kleinen Resort, mit dem es sich den groĂzĂŒgigen Pool teilt. Ansonsten ist man quasi alleine, mit eigenem Garten und Terrasse, die direkt auf die berĂŒhmten WeingĂŒter von Verrazzano und Vicchiomaggio blickt. Rundum liegen die Weinberge von Santo Stefano, und die HĂŒgel rund um Greve. Einfach toll! Und wenn man dann genug vom Weintrinken hat :-), ist Florenz in 30 Minuteb um die Ecke. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!
immersa nella bellissima natura, con splendida vista, silenziosa, camere comode e pulite, giardino attrezzato, massima disponibilitĂ della proprietaria e del collaboratore.
