Soggiorno perfetto
Abbiamo passao 4 notti in questo splendido cottage, situato tra le collline di Castellina in Chianti proprio dietro a un meraviglioso boschetto di cipressi. Breve sterrata per arrivare (assolutamente ben tenuta e percorribile), accesso diretto al cottage (no scalini), pulito e con vista su oliveto. Dotato di tutto il necessario. Host gentilissimi e disponibili per le nostre richieste. Consigliatissimo!

Très agréable séjour
En juillet, nous avons apprécié cet endroit charmant au milieu des oliviers et la maison spacieuse avec salles de bains indépendantes. Francesco toujours souriant et très accueillant a été disponible pour nous pendant notre séjour. Ce gîte situé au coeur de la Toscane est idéal pour la visite des villes et petits villages médiévaux situés aux alentours. Merci Fransesco et Maria Chantal Patrice et Nathalie

Calme et confort
Maisonnette très chaleureuse disposant de tout le confort et d'équipements performants conformes à la description et aux photos. C'est aussi une base de départ idéale pour toutes les visites en Toscane. Retrouver le calme après la foule de Florence, Sienne ou autre est un plaisir d'autant que la vue est superbe. Accueil très chaleureux par Francesco qui parle très bien anglais et que nous remercions. Comme dit sur une autre appréciation la route d'accès (en terre) est très proche de la maison ce qui ne nous a pas gêné. Mais les jeunes parents devront faire attention aux enfants qui jouent dehors d'autant que certains véhicules passent un peu trop vite. Nous conseillerons à la propriétaire de prolonger la barrière pour isoler la zone potentiellement à risque. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.

Very good but some things you need to know.
I am regular user of vrbo and always read the reviews of properties. It is important to give a balanced view. This property is very nice inside with excellent fittings which are the most modern. There is aircon in both bedrooms but not in the living area. The only negative is that you are right on the gravel road which runs past the house. This is not shown on the web site. The property is ideal for a couple but would be a challenge for more people. A car is essential as you really are over 3 kilometres from the town along a dirt road. The deposit of 400 euro is a bit excessive. The sit out area is very limited as it is right beside the dirt road.
