A return trip to this cottage which we first visited for just a few days sometime around 2012.The cottage is just as beautiful as it was then. It has been well maintained and the views remain heavenly!Castellina too has aged well. more restaurants, shopping, art and vineyards. A huge shoutout to Podere La Piaggia for a beautiful and memorable private tasting and lunch!
The house was beautiful and the location was wonderfully quiet and set back from the main road. Itâs quaint and cozy. Thereâs a short gravel road up to the cottage but itâs an easy drive. I would definitely book again.
What can we say!!! We loved the little houseâŠ.so much charm! The hosts were very easy to communicate withâŠ.the quietness and beauty of the property were just what we needed!!
We spent 4 weeks in this house .The owner was very helpfull the house was top notch If You want to ear the silence it is one of the best place
House was what were expected and more
I recommand this house for people need to relax in peace and calm A special Thanks to the MAMMA
Very peaceful place to spend the week. House was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Grounds were also very beautiful and well kept. We would love to visit again.
We had a great time staying at Castellina in Chianti. The farmhouse is well equipped, comfortable and a wonderful base to explore Tuscany. The sunsets and views were amazing. We hope to come back some day!
Wonderful Property very convenient to all of our favorite Chianti villages and restaurants. Very quiet, not even a distant dog barking at night. Minor issue with hot water but this was quickly addressed by the manager. We look forward to visiting again in 2025.
unusual for the Chi
We have stayed in vacation rentals and VRBO's all over the US and Europe and this was the absolute nicest cleanest home we have ever rented. The location in the Chianti Region was perfect and there seems to be a Winery on every corner. We loved it and hope to return
Very nice owner and his mother, nice house, amazing vieuw, we had a lovely time there we will recommend THE house to our friends. Hope to be back some day. Greets Ingrid.
This charming farmhouse made our stay in the Tuscan region perfect. While we never met the host, they were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The farm and area is beautiful! We rented a car and did day trips to Montepulciano, Siena, Volterra, Lucca and Cinque Terre. The house is also convenient to the local town. We found excellent restaurants and also bought groceries at the Coop. Would highly recommend staying here if planning a trip to this region of Italy.
The most beautiful experience! The little house is even better than the photos! Close to the quaint village, however, it should be noted that there are no grocery markets open on Sunday so do account for that.
Lovely stay that I would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay in this glorious Tuscan hideaway. The owners are really helpful but donât intrude during your stay, the facilities were great - exactly as described and they provide some self-catering basics to get you started. The view and garden are to die for and the wifi was pretty good. Everything was immaculately clean and well appointed. The area is beautiful and the local village - a 5 min drive (not walkable) was a highlight. Thank you Daniele.
Everything about this stay and working with Daniele was wonderful! The location is serene and beautiful. Being only a few minutes from a quaint town with grocery store and delicious restaurants is also great. We found a car to be necessary since it is located in the country (although pretty close to most of the sights one would want to see in the Tuscany region). Daniele was helpful and easy to work with. We didnât want to leave. :) thank you so much Daniele!
Charming quaint cottage with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The property contains a road way we used to walk everyday. We saw deer and a fox as well as beautiful mountain vistas. The town of Castellino is so charming with friendly people, a nice market and a couple nice restaurants. Bonus was the winery on the adjacent property. Take advantage of this lovely winery, have lunch and a tour you wonât be disappointed, make a reservation. This is also a great location to take day trips to all the Tuscan hill towns of San Gimigiano, Montepulciano, Siena and Greve. Enjoy
This little farmhouse has all of the character of the region in it. You feel as if you have stepped back in time a little but with all the modern conveniences that you need. Clean and well equipped kitchen...we fixed many meals in. Spacious bedrooms and nice efficient bathrooms. The best part of the house for us was the large back patio with the wonderful view...we spent a lot of time here. It is centrally located so you can spend your days traveling to different places of interest. One of our favorite towns is Castellina which is 10 minutes away (it has a nice market where you can buy almost everything). We spent 2 weekâs here and loved every minute of it. My one small complaint is that when we arrived there was no soap of any kind to wash your self, your hands or your clothes...very inconvenient ! Otherwise we truly enjoyed our stay.
Of the places that we stayed while in Italy, this place was by far our favorite. My husband and I (in our early 60's) and my parents (in their mid 80's) found this place to be a home away from home. We found all as described regarding the location, layout and amenities. The well-built cottage was very well maintained, attractive and spotless and the family/owners provided good customer service. The cottage was in a rural setting but close (by car) to the small town of Castellina in Chianti. We really enjoyed all the potted flowers and lemon trees on the patio, taking walks around the property and viewing the olive groves and lavender. A thoughtful and smart amenity was the stocked wine rack with wine available for purchase, with the cost being comparable to prices in the shops. Why buy wine elsewhere? The view from the covered patio was picture perfect! We enjoyed shopping at the market in Castellina and preparing multiple meals in the kitchen. From this cottage we visited the hill towns of Sienna, Cortona, and Voltera. We wish we could have stayed longer. We have already recommended this cottage to some friends that plan to go to Italy next year.
It was a perfect home base for my husband and I for daytripping around Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, and a welcome break from staying at a hotel. The town is close to the property, and an easy stop for breakfast and coffee on our way to other destinations. Unfortunately it was raining most of the days we were there, so we did not get to enjoy the exterior as we had hoped.Note to others: the street to the farmhouse is not paved and there are many potholes, so drive slowly and carefully!
I'm Daniele Sandrelli the owner of the farmhouse. The villa is situated in the center of our farm. We produce saffron, wine and lavender. My family lives here since 1865, but the farmhouse was restructuring on 2005. In the past was an ancient agricultural structure building at the beginning of the 1900's. Restructuring the villa was inspired by the typical Tuscany style: stone walls, "cotto" tile floors, joists roofs and beds in wrought iron and big terrace with porch.
