Beautiful ancient stone house with large, well equipped apartments. Wonderful surrounding (vineyards, woods, a pond etc.). Extremely kind and friendly owners. Close to several small towns of Chianti. About an hour from Florence and Siena. What more to say? Just: a paradise!
Had such a wonderful experience staying at this charming rustic farmhouse. Simonetta and Giovani could not be more gracious and welcoming! They are there to meet and welcome you upon your arrival (with delicious homemade and fresh out of the oven cake) completely available to you throughout your adventure and there to send you off when it is time to leave. They are extremely knowledgeable and there to guide you throughout your stay with where to go and what to do. Farmhouse is very clean and has everything you could need. It is tucked away just enough to feel secluded, yet conveniently located for day trips to all the surrounding areas. Very quiet and peaceful with beautiful views. Would be absolutely perfect for groups and families.
Beautiful farmhouse with generous & gracious hosts
My family and I stayed in the charming and historically rich Tegline farmhouse in June of 2017 . Our apartment was very clean and hospitable--with great views and a stunning hearth that dates back to the Roman Empire. Our hosts, Simonetta, Giovani, and their three children, we're incredibly gracious and helpful. They invited us for a home cooked traditional Tuscan dinner with the other guests and also provided tremendous help in providing local history and recommendations for places to eat or visit. They were, easily, the most helpful hosts that I've met to date. The location, as well, is tremendous. The vineyard and farmhouse are tucked away in the hills in a tiny town called Lucarelli--which is conveniently located in the heart of Tuscany and less than an hours drive from Florence and Sienna. If your not looking to city hop you'll still find plenty of shopping, dining, wine tasting, and photo opportunities in Chianti and Lucarelli.
I highly recommend staying at the Tegline farmhouse if you plan to visit Tuscany. Indeed, we were sad to leave and hope to return again soon.
