Great location in the heart Chianti. The host was very welcoming and the apartment was perfect. very comfortable bed and very quiet location. Nice terrace and pool but unfortunately the weather wasnt warm enough for us to enjoy the pool. There is a dirt road to get to the apartment but very easy to navigate so dont be worried about it. Thank you Babette, we hope to have the pleasure of going back sometime.

Little slice of heaven!

This little slice of heaven was just perfect! It was very spacious and the kitchen had everything needed to cook a meal…and lots of fun dishes to serve it in! The location is very remote….you do have to drive up a very steep dirt road. We enjoyed the day in Greve and also drove to San Gimignano, which was about an hour away.

Beautiful setting

Scuderia was a very pleasant spacious apartment. The view from terrace patio was spectacular overlooking the Chianti hills from a high vantage point. The only thing we did not like was the 2 km rough dirt road that climbs to Ruffoli.

A hidden gem

Wow! What an amazing place. Every bit as much as we needed. Quaint, clean, out of the way. It is in a very small village away from Greve. Babette was a wonderful host and made us a wine tasting reservation. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. We cooked almost ever night I highly recommend this property, but know that it is in a remote area few minutes away from town Thank you Babette

Charm Galore

We had a wonderful time while staying in Greve. The accommodations were a perfect combination of old world charm meets modern conveniences. Babette was a friendly and knowledgeable host. She even left us some fresh produce from her garden, which we turned into in a nice pasta sauce and ratatouille. The location was centrally located and only a short drive to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, and even Lucca and Pisa. We used Greve as our launch pad for day trips. It was nice to unpack once and still visit all the highlights of Tuscany. Greve is the "gateway to Chianti." It and the surrounding small towns (Panzano, Montefioralle, etc) are wonderful places to explore and visit while you're there. Being in Chianti country, you cannot go wrong with the wine. There are numerous wineries in the area, and most, if not all, have tasting rooms. There is even a winery right next door...seriously right next door! The wine and the wine makers are wonderfully charming. Recommend!

The view is stunning and a perfect location to use as home base to explore wineries in this part of Tuscany. FYI You need to book appointment for wine tasting . WE. Found this out the hard way Its a little piece of paradise. It was not easy to find so make sure you arrive during day light hours .Its about 2.5 KM up a dirt road with no address. The key was not where we were told it would be so that caused us a little stress after a long day of travel. There is a coop store for groceries in town but beware they are closed on Sunday and there is no other place in Greve to get groceries. If you arrive late on a Sunday just come prepared. Thank goodness the owner of the restaurant LaCantina took very good care of us. He send us to the villa with food and wine This restaurant is a must when visiting this area. Staff and owner are amazing the food is so good. The bathroom does have a nasty sewer smell.I did mention this to the owner and she told us how to fix it. It never really did go away but was not as strong. The place was very clean. The bed was very comfortable but no top sheet. You are pretty much on you own when staying at this location. The owner does live in the complex but was a way during our stay. Her son was helpful in locating the key after calling the owner. Bring bug spray if you plan to use the beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view that comes with this unit. The open air windows have no screens so bugs can be a bit of a problem.

This is the most special place I’ve ever been. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. The house itself it’s stunning but the outside terrace and pool area is a dream. I will absolutely come back here again if I get the chance. The host was very helpful, communicative and kind.

Die scuderia Ist ein integraler Bestandteil eines wunderschönen Häuserensembles oberhalb von Greve in Chianti. Die Anfahrt über eine in weiten Teilen Schotterstrasse ist staubig. Die Lage am Zielort entschädigt dafür umso mehr. Die Ferienwohnung ist wunderschön eingerichtet und herrlich kühl. Die Gastgeberin Babette und auch ihr Mann sind warmherzige Menschen, die uns in unserer Aufenthaltswoche herzlich begegnet sind. Die Krönung war die Erlaubnis, den Pool nutzen zu dürfen. Danke für die schöne Zeit!

Wir haben die Gegend erkundet, waren wandern und Vino/Olio probiert. Von der Terrasse blickt man weit über das Chianti.Die Anfahrt ist abenteuerlich, zwar nur 2,2 km lang, aber teilweise unbefestigt und steil.

Beautiful and spacious

This apartment we wanted quietness and views. The apartment delivered with views of the rolling hills and panoramic terrace to have coffee to enjoy it. This apartment was hug for just the 2 of us and the location a bit remote- just remember to get food/supplies before you go. But, it is as we wanted with being in the country. We only booked for 2 nights and next time would do longer. Very clean and all supplies needed were available from towels to wi-fi to kitchen supplies. We would recommend this to everyone!

Lovely but Remote

We arrived in Greve with the help of Google Maps and when we were looking at a dirt road in front of us I thought the app had made a mistake. It didn’t. This property is located on top of a mountain which is serviced by a very narrow, rough 2.2 km dirt road for most of the way. Once at the property the view is incredible. You look out over the valley of miles of grapes and olive trees. We stayed for five days and found it adequate for our needs. I was a bit disappointed that the VRBO site showed a flowered patio with a couple chairs that had a beautiful view of the valley below which wasn’t available to us and was locked. We used the apartment as a jumping off point for visiting various places in Tuscany. Because of the drive, we’d leave in the morning, head to the piazza for breakfast and not return until night. There was little or no contact with people, including the owners, while at this property which was a bit disappointing for us since we are people persons. After all is said and done we enjoyed our stay.

Toskana Traumurlaub

Wir waren zwei Wochen in der Wohnung, die sehr stilvoll und praktisch eingerichtet ist und alles, was man braucht, in Fülle hat. Die Matratze ist sehr gut; das Bett ist mit mit einem Moskitonetz ausgestattet, was notwendig ist, weil es recht viele Mücken gibt. Babette ist eine sehr zugewandte und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin und hilft bei kleinen oder großen Nöten. Unser Hund war auch willkommen. Die Terrasse hat einen wunderbaren Panoramablick auf die Hügellandschaft bis nach Florenz. Von Ruffoli aus kann man viele Ziele der Toskana gut erreichen. Uns fehlte zum vollkommenen Glück nur gelegentlich ein Pool (wir wussten natürlich, dass keiner vorhanden ist) ; der wird wohl bald kommen. Dann ist alles perfekt. Wir kommen wieder.

Hard to find and no one to greet us.

We had a hard time finding the house and no one was present to show us where to go. We ended up in the wrong room and had to move late in the evening. We had no information about our unit or the surrounding area until 2 days later. No AC during the hottest time of year and the mosquitos prevented us from opening the windows.

Charming, comfortable, clean, wonderful hostess and family describes our experience in the Scuderia cottage. The view overlooking the Chianti valley is spectacular and we saw some beautiful sunsets.
