Our family of 6 loved staying at this quaint villa tucked amongst the vines & the olive trees of Tuscany. Magnificent views, great pool, lovely outdoor area, country kitchen and cozy beds with air conditioning. It is conveniently located near villages with restaurants, shops etc, but nicely distanced so your stay is more like a retreat from the noise. I would highly recommend this for a family vacation! The owners were very welcoming and helpful if you need tips/tours. They’re chefs and can also cook for you & take you truffle hunting. We didn’t book that, but it is a great option for visitors.
This property was a great base for our Tuscan travels. We were able to hit a lot of small towns in the area, and Firenze as well. It had great amenities such as a pool and the ability to charge my electrical rental car (not that easy in Tuscany). The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen was well appointed. The hosts met us upon arrival to get us oriented and offered their WhatsApp before we got there to make sure everything would be great for our visit.This was a great space for our family.
Very spacious and clean villa in between Florence and Siena in the heart of Chianti. Tremendous hosts that communicated often and met a couple special requests. Have already referred this listing and will definitely come back!
Enrico and Simone’s beautiful home is just as described. It is a very comfortable, spacious and well maintained home. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our time there and only wish it could have been longer. Communication before and during our stay was fantastic and response time was lightening fast. Unfortunately we weren’t able to enjoy a cooking class with Simone and Enrico but would love to do so on our next trip. I highly recommend this property, as long as you are comfortable driving around Chianti’s very narrow and windy roads. If so, you’ll be rewarded with a perfect stay at Chianti Passion!
We had such a nice stay and only wish it had been longer! Enrico & Simona were excellent hosts and we loved the cooking class they did for us and our 3 college students who learned to make pasta for the first time. The views are spectacular and it’s a perfect location for trips to the many surrounding towns and wineries. We’d love to come back in the summer and stay longer!
Lovely property, very comfortable. Good location to explore Tuscany. There is an excellent supermarket less than 10 minutes away. Families would be very comfortable here.
Simona and Enrico were at the house to great us and also have a new washer installed. The home is everything we hoped for- clean, a well stocked kitchen, large upstairs bathroom and breathtaking views. It was the perfect place for us to unwind after several days in hotels. The home has several information brochures for wine tasting and restaurants.. Simon’s and Enrico were the perfect hosts. Highly recommend their home.
Enrico and Simona have a special place in an incredible area. The views are amazing and all of the little towns are historic and have great little restaurants. The Villa is well equipped and very comfortable. The hosts are kind and full of helpful info on the area. Make sure to take a guided tour of the Benedictine Monastery nearby. Couldn’t have a better stay in Tuscany.
Enrico and Simone were an absolute delight and we greatly enjoyed getting to stay in their gorgeous home. The views of the rolling Tuscan hills covered in vineyards and olive groves surrounding the place were breathtaking, the kitchen was wonderfully well-stocked, and the home full of enchanting charm and history. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to visit!
The property was even better than the photos! Incredibly beautiful inside and out. We also had a cooking lesson with Enrico and Simona that was wonderful. Our stay in Tuscany was a true highlight of our 3 weeks in Italy and France.
Villa Chianti Passion could not have been more idyllic for our family of six. Enrico & Simona were gracious and attentive beyond our expectations. Simona’s pasta making class and Enrico’s lovely hospitality enriched our experience. The quaint pool was a huge bonus for our youngest two children. Thank you Simona & Enrico!
Our stay at Chianti Passion was an A+++ experience ! Our hosts, Enrico & Simona, are wonderful, warm and friendly people with a passion for life and their Tuscan lifestyle. They are very attentive to their guests' needs and comfort and beyond helpful ! You can not for more from any host....they are simply the best ! Thank you, Enrico & Simona ! We had the experience of a lifetime !
We had a wonderful stay. It was much more than we expected. Our hosts were very helpful and went over the top to make sure that we had a great stay. The house is set up wonderfully and had all the amenities and features that we were looking for. We hope to come back and would recommend it with any of our friends. A key is that you need to be able to drive on some narrow roads and hairpin turns. It is a great get-away. My only concern was that the Wi-Fi could have been better.
This is a lovely property in the middle of wine country with beautiful views and peaceful atmosphere. Simona and Enrico are fantastic hosts. All of the amenities are here and accessible, although the dryer is a clothesline! The hosts are always available if you have a question. We did the pasta class and it was an amazing experience, even my 23 year old son (NOT a kitchen kid) really enjoyed it. The nearby village is also lovely with a great coffee/ breakfast spot. This was the only part of our trip that felt like old Italy- no other tourists in sight. We enjoyed relaxing in the back yard and watching the fireworks from a local festival at night. Great place to chill, relax, and recharge! I highly recommend.
From the moment we were met at the villa by Enrico, our stay was exceptional. Their home is a charming villa supplied with everything you need to cook at home, a beautiful view from the front and back gardens, and a central location to reach all of the local towns of Tuscany: Siena, Lucca, San Gimignano, Montepulciano, etc. What impressed us even more than the location is the true Tuscan warmth of Enrico and Simona. On our second day, they drove us on a wine tour of three wineries where we met incredible winemakers Masimo and Riccardo and enjoyed beautiful Sangiovese and Chianti as well as olive oil. It was wonderful to hear Enrico and Simona's stories. They also offered excellent restaurant recommendations and information about local shops. We highly recommend Chianti Passion...you will not be disappointed.

INCREDIBLE experience! Don't miss the opportunity to stay here!
My husband, daughter, and I stayed at Enrico and Simona's Tuscany country home for several days in May of 2018. We have stayed at many VRBO / HomeAway rentals, but this home definitely qualifies as a "best of the best" property. We would certainly tell anyone considering renting it, "DO NOT HESITATE" to book this property.
Words cannot fully express the absolute beauty of the house and the grounds. The home itself was very clean and has been well cared for. We quickly realized this house reflects the creativity of the owners as well. Unique artwork covers the walls and fills the home with warmth and beauty. Simona and Enrico are both chefs so the kitchen was very well equipped. You also have the option to book a cooking class from Simona or to have them cook a meal for you.
The property itself is situated in the Tuscan hills and the views simply take your breath away. From the grounds you can view two smaller villages nestled in the hills, vineyards, sheep grazing... WOW!-- a landscape that was truly a privilege for us to see each day. The property is also centrally located within easy driving distances of many other interesting towns and sights to explore in the Tuscany area.
Simona and Enrico were truly wonderful people. They made us feel at home and gave us the sense that they would do anything to make our stay a memorable experience. We greatly appreciated their kindness and generosity! We will be back!

Wir können nur jedem Empfehlen bei Simona und Enrico Urlaub zu machen. Die beiden sind so herzliche Gastgeber. Bei Anreise waren beide vor Ort und haben uns alles erklärt, haben sich alle 2 Tage um den Pool gekümmert. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Wir können nur jedem Empfehlen ein Menü bei den beiden zu buchen, was sie vor Ort Kochen, schon sehr lang nicht mehr soooooo gut gegessen. Das Haus entspricht komplett der Beschreibung, ist super gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Wir werden definitiv wieder kommen.
Nochmals vielen Dank an Simona und Enrico.
The home was beyond gorgeous, so unique and authentic. Beautiful view of several towns in the distance, with vineyards as far as you can see. A much needed break from our hectic visit to Rome. I wish we had stayed longer as it was the best part of the trip. Still within an easy drive to many must see destinations.
Only downside was the attached duplex had a dog that kept us up barking several nights, and neighbors were very easy to hear. But again, far better than the chaos of the bigger cities.
Enrico and Simona's home exceeded all expectations and was situated beautifully to venture throughout Tuscany region. We have never had better hosts and were thrilled with the addition of the cooking class and market/winery expedition the next day. They provided the personal experience we were looking for as we truly experienced "local". We cannot wait to return. Grazie Enrico and Simona and thanks for sharing your piece of heaven!
Nous avons passé un très beau séjour au sein de cette maison très fonctionnelle. Nous avons été bien accueilli. Le gîte est situé dans la campagne et proche des commodités. Situation idéale pour visiter Sienne, Florence, San Gimignano et plein de petits villages tout aussi attrayants.
Their Home is a five star residence for your Tuscan Holiday . Their home was prepared for our arrival ! They had basics in the fridge , drove us to the food store , left numbers and names of places to go . They even do cooking lessons . The grounds are impeccable detailed , postcard Perfect . Olive trees, fliers , succulents , outside tables and trees . This home belongs in a magazine for home and gardens . Even the kitchen has everything to cook from eggs to a gourmet meal .
Centrally located , quiet and just picture perfect . Going Back next year
We had a fantastic time staying in the tuscan countryside. Enrico and Simona were great at communicating and answering all questions and had lots of recommendations. The home is spacious with a big kitchen/dining area plus lots of space in the yard to relax. It's a fully furnished kitchen so you could easily bring your own food to cook -- we booked a pasta making class with Enrico and Simona which was a lot of fun and ended with delicious dinner. The home also has a clothes washer which was helpful. It is out in the countryside, so your own car is absolutely necessary to get around!
All of your Tuscan dreams come true! Simona and Enrico’s house is beautiful, surrounded by the rolling hills of tuscany. Enough room for 6 adults, beautiful kitchen if you feel like cooking. Roughly 30-40 minutes from Siena and Firenze. Simona and Enrico prepared a beautiful 4 course meal for us our first night. The downtown area has great restaurants and cafes. A quiet and serene property to enjoy Tuscany.
