"Everything about this house is exquisite and very homey. Decors are really tasteful. Outdoors spaces and the views are absolutely beautiful. Kitchen is really well appointed. There is no shortage of dish-wear, silverware and glasses. Location is very central to explore Tuscany. Our host, Lapo is very welcoming and helpful with all recommendations. He is the kind of host that you want to stay in touch and come back to see him. "

"Fantastico"

"A most lovely and comfortable valletta on a beautiful estate about 10 miles from the village of Radda in Chianti. Sabina and Annie are lovely and happy to be helpful.The rolling and steep hills of Tuscany dotted with ancient and handsome estates and castles is truly enchanting One can easily imagine what life was like centuries ago in the beautifully preserved villages. This area of Tuscany seems to be off the well beaten tourists’ paths. You must rent a car; we found driving in Italy FUN. However this area is very popular with bicyclists and motorcyclists so you have to be very alert and quickly responsive when driving. Do beware that there is a village about 20 miles away that bears a very similar name to this estate that our Google maps took us to. Tho villages are a fairly close distance the driving time is double due to the very winding, sharp curvey roads."

"We had a great time during our stay. The house was spectacular, amazing view of the Chianti hills, clean, spacious and we had all we needed to cook. The pool was wonderful and they came to clean it mid way so it was always clean. We rented a 4 wheel drive SUV which was recommended by the host and it was helpful for the last bit of road that leads to the house. We were able also to visit several small towns close by that were very charming. It was a good central location for someone who wants to get a flavour of Tuscany. Highly recommended. "

"Monica was the friendliest most enthusiastic host we’ve stayed with. Everything from her greeting to the amazing breakfast was perfect. She does a lot of baking, so the breakfast was really a treat and you could also get eggs cooked in various ways. The room was a little small but very comfortable. Parking was on the street, but it was fairly close and easy."
