Upon arrival we were greeted as though we were family! The apartment is as described in the listing. We were very comfortable. The grounds and the view were spectacular. We would definitely stay here again.

Nach einem sehr freundlichen Empfang mit Kaffee, Dessertwein und Gebäck wurde uns die Ferienwohnung sauber übergeben. Alle Räume und Geräte wurden uns sehr ausführlich gezeigt und wo nötig auch die Nutzung erklärt. Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll und zweckmäßig eingerichtet und bietet genügend Raum auch für 6 Personen. Speisen konnten wir sowohl auf dem Balkon bzw. am urig gestalteten Freisitz bzw. bei schlechterem Wetter im Haus zu uns nehmen. Die Verständigung klappte "mit Händen und Füssen" auch recht gut. Für weitergehende Erklärungen stand uns die Nichte der Besitzerin mit ihrem sehr guten Englisch zur Verfügung. Auch den zur Selbstversorgung gekelterten Rotwein durften wir reichlich versuchen. Er schmeckte vorzüglich. Das hergestellte extra vergine Olivenöl muss man unbedingt probieren. Es empfiehlt sich auch für daheim einige Flaschen zu durchaus moderaten Preisen mitzunehmen. Für uns vier war es ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt in der Ferienwohnung. Sie liegt auch sehr zentral um die wichtigsten Städte der Toskana zu erkunden.

Das Haus liegt sehr zentral in der Toskana und ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett. Vielen Dank für die schönen Ferien

I was in love with the area before we even arrived, thanks to taking the scenic if bumpy shortcut from the motorway (thank you GPS). The hills, vineyards, olive groves and a feeling of remoteness from "civilisation" yet within a few miles from the store, restaurants and very conveniently located in proximity to various Tuscan sights, from Siena to Florence and San Gimingiano to Greve in Chianti with its wine festival. The property itself is very cosy but well appointed. It was five of us - my parents, my husband and I and my sister, and the space was perfect. We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony. Pro tip - do try the wine and olive oil generously provided by the hosts at the beginning of your stay - you will want to buy some for home - some of the best red i tried and definitely some of the cheapest too! I bought the oil as gifts and my friends loved it. We appreciated the warm hospitality upon our arrival and departure.

Mukava paikka keskellä Chiantia, oma rauha ja silti lyhyt matka eri suuntiin nähtävyyksille. Mukavaa porukkaa ja turvallista olla.

Nous étions une semaine dans la maison avec trois couples dans les trois chambres. Il faisait assez chaud, la nuit dans les deux chambres sous le toit même trop chaud. Nous étions préparés à ca, donc pas de surprise, mais à noter pour d'autres locataires. Autrement la maison a tout ce qu'il faux et les propriétaires sont très aimable et toujours prêt à aider.

Nous avons passé ici une quinzaine magnifique! Bel endroit idéalement situé, accueil chaleureux, appartement très agréable et fort bien équipé. Merci à nos hôtes... nous reviendrons.

accueil excellent, le gîte est situé dans les vignes et les vignobles. très calme, très propre et fonctionnel. endroit parfait pour visiter la Toscane (Florence, Sienne etc....). Je le recommande très chaudement

Unseren Aufenthalt dort haben wir von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute genossen. Alles, was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt, ist im Haus vorhanden. Sogar ein gemütlicher, gut ziehender Kamin. Dazu die Herzlichkeit der Schwestern...alles perfekt. Wir werden gern wieder kommen.

Dieses Haus ist toll geschnitten für Gruppen von 4-6 Personen. Es hat ausreichend Platz und ist sehr schön. Die Lage ist ganz hervorragend mitten in der Toskana, ein Auto/Mietwagen hilft sehr dabei, die Region zu erkunden. Die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern ist problemlos und alle sind sehr bemüht.

Charming 3-story castle in the heart of Chianti hills. Warm hospitality, house red wine, house olive oil and hand-delivered tuscan bread every morning just to add finishing touch to this gem of tuscan vacations. The house is built with love and has everything a tourist may need. The owners respond quickly to every request and go out of their way to make their guests happy. Our kids loved the house and the garden, and watching little chicks, and fresh eggs, and tractors, and toys, and waiting for bread truck in the morning. The hostesses speak very little English, which was never an issue, as their charming niece speaks excellent British English. Very close to many beautiful wineries, castellos, and Florence is easily reached by car or bus. Easily navigated by car, although climbing chianti hills is an adventure for big cars with manual transmission. But this comes with the region - tuscan roads and hills are suited well for olive trees and grape vines, not cars. Still better than driving in Rome. Grazia and sorry about the dresser key - hope you found it.

The warmest, friendliest, Hosts we have ever encountered! I wish I could stay and be their neighbor. Everything you need to know about the house and area is written down, in English, in a ‘house handbook’. They shared their estate wine, olive oil, and eggs with us. Everything was delicious! Spacious living for our 4 adult party. Plenty of outside yard space. Loved the balcony seating, fireplace ( free wood!) and the chance to stroll around outdoors through fields and olive groves. Central location, a country drive to the most popular walled cities, Certaldo, San Gimignano, Montespertoli, Panzano, Siena...

We spent two weeks as two couples in the house and had a very restful stay. We were made to feel very welcome by the hosts. There is a lovely little garden and a great balcony for enjoying breakfasts and dinners in the sunshine. We spent a few days just chilling out reading in the garden. It's a quiet place in a fantastic location for sightseeing but it is a working village - the rooms backing onto the courtyard can be a bit noisy first thing in the morning! I'd highly recommend it. It might be a little crowded with six people but four was perfect.

This was a comfortable home located in the Tuscan countryside. There were surrounding olive and grape trees and winding narrow roads typical of the area. The Home was spacious and quaint. It had full amenities.

Staying at this property was a real treat! The owner is so nice and hospitable, there are vineyards and olive groves all around and it's located only 30 minute drives to Florence and Bologna. We would highly recommend this beautiful cottage while visiting the Tuscany region of Italy.

"Very charming village with beautiful walks among the olive trees. What makes the difference is the sincere welcome of the family who tried to help us in any way and shared the pleasures of its life with us (they gave us homemade oil and wine and bread and invited children to play and to visit animals). You feel you are part of the family and share the smile grandma Maria has all the time inspite of the difficulties of life."

This was the perfect place for the 6 of us. The peaceful countryside location is so Tuscan! Just walking from your door the countryside is breathtakingly beautiful.The charming house is ancient, traditional and carefully converted by Andrea to include all the modern conveniences and everything we might need.It is very clean, fresh and well maintained. Beds are comfy. As 3 couples we appreciated the house layout giving privacy. We loved eating on the balcony, being shown the farm and too much more to write here! Take a bus to Florence from Tavarnelle but then drive for the short trips to exquisite towns and countryside. Everything is easy driving distance! We cannot speak more highly of the the Provedi family who are wonderfully kind, helpful and generous. Nonna Maria is a joy to meet. I hope you choose this house and have as memorable a holiday as we all did!

"Best holidays ever! A little cold inside the house in the early spring but it gets warm pretty fast. Calm and quiet, beautiful surroundings, the house has every tiny thing you might ever need! The owners should be mentioned separately - very friendly, patient, always ready to help. I''ve never met owners that nice! The only thing - English is never spoken in the aria, make sure you bring phrasebooks and dictionaries. Also I considered that car is essential, but people say that bus stop is not far away."

"Loved our stay, incredible value. The apartment is huge, 3 floors, nice kitchen in a very neat area surrounded by olive trees and small vineyards. The unit was immaculate and as described. The host family lives next door and we can't say enough about how friendly they were; extremely warm, generous and kind. We would definitely love to stay here again and highly recommend this accomodation to anyone that wants a quiet flat in the Tuscan countryside that is also close to Florence, San Gimignano and other small towns."

"The accommodation was part of an old house, much stairs and much space, high in ceiling. Kitchen was very well equipped. It was nice to eat on the balcony. The host peoples' wine was very nice, fresh. On the second floor bathroom the door lock was difficult to shut and open, we decided not to lock the door behind us. The view from the hill was magnificent. The host people live in the neighbouring house, they were extremely helpful and nice. Expect their young daughter who spoke some English, they spoke only Italian, but that was no problem."

"A wonderful environment, in the middle of olive trees and wine yards, far from the urban hassle, and yet close to all cultural highlights of Tuscany. The old monastery atmosphere could still be felt in the lovingly restored house. The owners who lived nearby were very friendly (but absolutely unobtrusive) and their olive oil was the best we ever tasted!"

"It was a beautiful house, the photos didn't do it justice! The family was lovely and very helpful. I loved being in the countryside yet still close to Florence and all the sites. I think I got a glimpse of life in Italy that tourist rarely see. The house was immaculate and comfortable. I would stay here again and suggest it to my freinds."
