There are two large parking lots in the village and there are no cars on the small streets, except for loading / unloading luggage.

Peace and tranquility
Our stay in this enchanting little village was just perfection. Our renovated “barn” was so cozy and comfortable, Our host, Veronica could not have been more attentive to our needs (it was quite cold when we were there and she made sure we had fuel, etc to stay warm). She also brought us wine and olive oil from her family and a delicious tart. It was peaceful, beautiful and everything we could have hoped for. Thank you Veronica and Massimiliano for sharing your magical little corner of Italy! We certainly hope to return!

Perfect getaway in Tuscany
Wow! We could not be more pleased with our stay at Castellina in Chianti. We were greeted warmly, with welcome gifts (wine, olive oil, a delicious tart, and fresh fruit). The property provided us incomparable vistas from the generous terrace and along shady hiking trails. We were comfortable in the spacious living area and bedrooms. All amenities were in great working order and gave us just the respite we were seeking. Plus, after a long day of sightseeing in nearby Florence, the beautifully located swimming pool was the perfect way to cool off. We want to return and will recommend this lovely gem of a spot to our fellow travelers and friends!

Amazing stay in hilltop village
We loved this charming, rustic house (part of a bigger building with other accommodation). It's part of a tiny village at the top of a long track through olive groves. Fantastic views and a wonderful place to relax. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful location, tranquil stay
We are a family from Vienna who stayed a few days in this very quiet scenic location. The house was comfortable, the owner hospitable and helpful, and the views (and smells) unforgettable. There is good access to towns around and many places are within the 45 minute radius -it is different from staying in a town but that's what we desired. It was our first use of this website and everything worked fine. We will return !

Sehr nettes Urlaubsdomizil
Wir haben uns prima erholt in diesem grandiosen Ferienhäuschen mit großer Terrasse und tollem Ausblick über die Toskana. Viele attraktive Ausflugsziele sind in der Nähe. Noch näher: Pool und Tennisplatz. Super! Das Haus selbst ist auch sehr schön und praktikabel eingerichtet. Natürlich gibt es auch Kritikpunkte, aber sie konnten unser sehr positives Gesamtfazit nicht beeinflussen; wir nennen sie trotzdem: Zu einer "fully equipped" Küche gehören unserer Meinung nach auch ein Geschirrspüler und eine Filter-Kaffeemaschine - beides fehlte aber. Und wozu gibt es Töpfe, die nicht für den Induktionsherd geeignet sind - die passenden mussten wir durch Ausprobieren herausfinden? Ein Fernseher hätte auch nicht geschadet, obwohl wir ihn dann in der tollen Urlaubsumgebung doch kaum vermisst haben.

Séjour du 17 au 24 Août
Le lieu était somptueux et très bien placé dans la toscane ce qui nous a permis de rayonner. L'endroit était très typique et beau dans un village toscan en pleine nature. L'accueil du propriétaire était très sympathique avec du chianti et de l'huile d'olive. Je recommande fortement, vous ne serez pas déçu !

Sehr erholsame ruhige Lage
Das Haus liegt in einem ruhigen abgelegenen Dorf inmitten von Olivenbäumen, das man über eine ca. 2 km lange Kiesstraße erreicht. Es gibt keinen Durchgangsverkehr und eignet sich mit dem Gemeinschaftspool für einen sehr erholsamen Urlaub. In dem Haus selbst befinden sich noch 2 weitere Ferienwohnungen. Veronica, die Vermieterin, reagierte schnell auf Rückfragen und kümmerte sich umgehend um etwaige Anliegen. In dem Haus gibt es soweit alles was man braucht. Eine Spülmaschine gab es leider nicht. Die fest installierte Klimaanlage kühlt sehr gut. Innerhalb von einer halben Stunde lassen sich viele schöne Dörfer und Städte mit dem Auto erreichen. Wir haben uns rund um wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen. In

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Il Granaio! Das Haus war super ausgestattet, sehr gemütlich und in toller Lage. Die große Terrasse grenzt an den Olivenhain und lädt zum Entspannen, sowie Rückzug in der Hitze ein. Es gibt alles, was man braucht. Der Swimmingpool, sowie der Tennisplatz sind tolle Aktivitäten direkt in der Nähe. Die Kommunikation verlief sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Herbsferien
Das Haus liegt sehr schön in einem gemütlichen und netten alten (Ferien)Dorf. Der Garten und die Terrasse sind noch viel größer und schöner als wie auf den Bildern abgebildet. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas abseits vom nächsten Ort. Ein Aufenthalt mit einem Auto ist erforderlich, der nächste Ort zu weit weg um schnell Frühstück holen zu gehen oder am Abend noch schnell Essen zu gehen. Ich würde empfehlen ein Kochbuch einzupacken, in Poggibonsi in den großen Coop einkaufen zu gehen und am Abend gemütlich zu kochen. Die Unterkunft ist auch perfekt für Tagesausflüge nach Siena, Florenz oder San Gimignano geeignet. Die Schlafzimmer sind sehr sauber. Wer den Außengriller nützen möchte sollte selbst (trockene) Kohle mitnehmen. Ich bin mir auch nicht sicher ob das vorhandene Holz zum Einheizen (drinnen) wirklich geeignet ist (ev. mitnehmen wer eines zur Verfügung hat). Danke für die schönen Tage, die Freundlichkeit und die Aufmerksamkeiten! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
