Belle Villa du Chianti du 16ème siècle, 8 chambres avec salle de bain, piscine, 14km Florence

The internet photos of this property do not do it justice. The property is really lovely. lots of space for everyone both inside and outside. It is equipped with everything you could want for a family holiday.

Beatrice and Jacopo are excellent hosts arranging restaurant bookings, wine tours and grocery shopping for us.

They also organised a cookery class for us. The plan was that the children made pizza and the adults would make fresh pasta, bruschetta and tiramisu. However the children took over and loved every minute. Anyone who can keep 4 kids aged between 7 and 11 totally engaged for 3 hours is obviously doing something right.

It is very well placed to reach the motorway making touring the area very easy.

We all loved our time here. Would definitely visit again and recommend it to our friends

Family holiday July 2018

We had a group of 13 stay here - 7 adults and 6 kids between the ages of 2-11. It was perfect! The house is gorgeous inside and out. Every bedroom had its own bathroom which was fantastic. The beds were comfortable and the a/c was great during the hot summer evenings! The pool was excellent, especially with kids! Beatrice and Jacoba were extremely gracious and helpful. They set up a shuttle to and from the Florence train station for us which worked out great. It is helpful to have a car however as the streets are narrow and not friendly for walking about. There are many good restaurants in the surrounding area and any number of great day trips. Our family LOVED San Gimignano-well worth the 45 minute drive! We would love to come back!!

Gathered around the table on the outdoor terrace, family gathered together to celebrate family - a group of twelve couldn’t have found a more special place than this villa. The villa sits high and we enjoyed peace, quiet, beautiful views and sunsets. It is a spacious villa, beautifully decorated, marble staircases, two huge dining areas, eight bedrooms each with it’s own bathroom (what a find!!!), well equipped kitchen - this vacation rental has it all. Beatrice and Jacopo were amazing from the early booking, the many emails I sent with so many questions - the quick response and information was much appreciated. We had 2 dinnersat the villa and they were amazing - thank you so much Beatrice and Jacopo - great memories were made here! Location, location, location - easy access to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Volterra, restaurants (all amazing) , markets, bakeries. I cannot say enough about this villa and I have booked many places over the last 14 years in many different countries - I think I have to say this is my #1 !!!!!!!

Our family has experienced many vacation homes in the past. This experience topped them all!

We had a group of 16 staying at the Villa in May of 2018. We loved having an en suite bathroom for every bedroom and Beatrice did a nice job making up queen sized beds in every room even though the web site said two of the rooms just had twin beds. (The twins were just pushed together and made up as one, but that worked.) The views from the villa are spectacular, especially from the widow's peak on top, which is a great place to watch sunset or sunrise or enjoy cocktails. The place was remarkably clean. The beds and bedding were comfortable and beautifully made up for our arrival. The hosts were very anxious to please and made two wonderful dinners for us. The selection of wine at the villa was great and reasonably priced. The location is also excellent. The village of San Casciano in Val di Pesa is charming. The proximity to Florence, Siena, Luca and Pisa is ideal for day trips. I would recommend this place whole heartedly to anyone needing to accommodate a large group in a blissful setting.
