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!

Wonderful house in a fantastic place

We spent a great time in this little spot in the middle of Chiantis forests and vineyards! Perfect calm nights, nice surrounding for walks and Toskanas attractions nearby. In the evening we loved sitting around the fireplace. A very special thank to Veronica and her warm welcome! Everything had been prepared for a first evening-including homemade wine and olive oil. We felt very much at home and had a great time. Hopefully we will be back some day! Best regards!!!

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!

Very hot nights in a beautiful environment

The village Il Granaio is picturesque and the view is stunning. You also have this great view in the pool and on the tennis court. The house itself has everything you need for a relaxing time, but the equipment is scatchy. There is a very good induction cooker, but the AC in the master bedroom, which is super loud and super big is cooling only one room in the house. You can't close the window, so it's a huge waste of energy! The host Veronika was friendly, helpful and flexible.

Quel séjour fabuleux ! L'endroit donne l'impression de régner sur le domaine. C'est magique et super bien aménagé, tout y est, autant dans la cuisine que sur le terrain, rien ne manque. L'accueil est fantastique, les communications sont fluides et simples et pas vraiment requises car aucun problème ne peut vraiment arriver. La réservation est facile, les questions que j'ai posé à Massimiliano ont été répondues promptement et Veronica nous attendait à notre arrivée, un accueil parfait.

Prachtige plek

Zeer compleet huis. Met grote ramen. Als het minder weer is, heb je leuk uitzicht over het dorpje. Mooi zwembad geen schaduw. Tuin voldoende plek om zon of schaduw te hebben.Het lijkt of je een vrijstaand huis huurt maar je hebt directe buren. Rechts en links. Je kunt het treffen of niet. Binnen doodstil.

Tranquillité au milieu des vignes et des oliviers

Super endroit à l'abri du monde, dans un paysage toscan enchanteur. La maison est charmante tout en restant très simple. Nous avons profité de la terrasse, du tennis et des environs de la maison sans devoir toujours prendre la voiture. Nos deux adolescents, même sans télé, mais avec un excellent wi-fi, y ont également trouvé du charme et du plaisir. Un excellent endroit pour toute la famille !
