The house and settings are exactly what I was looking for in a Tuscany stay. Gorgeous views of the hills and vineyards. A living room with a big fireplace, large kitchen, multiple dining areas inside and out, a game room, washer/dryer, and multiple bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms for family members. The only downside I could say is that we dealt with annoying flies. However I would stay here again as overall it was wonderful.
Castellina in Chianti is a great small town with wonderful restaurants, a Coop/food store, gelaterias and some points of history. The location was also excellent for visiting nearby wineries and places like Siena and San Gimignano.
Communication was excellent with the Owner. Outside of answering questions I had in a timely manner, the Owner also helped arrange a local chef, Serena, who made two delicious meals for us.
