Beautiful Chianti Villa

I rented the villa for the month of October and found it a perfect in all ways. The villa is beautiful and spacious. At times we had 12 people staying with us and it was never felt crowded. We had five large bedrooms and the double beds are truly king sized, and firm but comfortable. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The showers are small, but there are two larger showers in the lower level bathroom-laundry. The kitchen is large and we had many nights of cooking wonderful Italian foods. There is a large outdoor and indoor dining spaces that easily accommodated 12. We ate many meals at these tables and played Mexican Train as well. It is a great group game, which I left in the Villa library for new guests and a future trip back. Leonardo was so helpful with arrangements and very kind to us. The grounds man, Manju, was always working so hard and very helpful. The villa is in the most gorgeous setting with vineyard covered valleys surrounded by chestnut forest covered hillsides. The area has lovely winding roads through the Chianti hills. Lucolena in Chianti is a pretty little sleepy village, except during the Chestnut Festival in late October when crowds show up to celebrate. You will want a car for this stay, but the Figline-Valdarno train station is a 20 minute drive away and easily access Florence by high speed trains and from there so many wonderful day trips. Locally there are wonderful sleepy little villages with the wonderful family owned restaurants and wineries. Lovely ancient Chianti municipalities are within 30 minutes scenic drives with shopping, dining, wining and sightseeing: Radda, Greve, Panzano, etc… Siena is a within an hour drive to the heart of the City. At the villa we had a wonderful dinner for 12 by an amazing chef! It was one of the best meals we had in Italy! We wanted to do it again, but we never had the opportunity to coordinate again. It was a definite highlight! Leonardo helped coordinate the chef dinner, a wine tour for 12 and a lunch in Panzano for 12 with Dario Cecchini. We drank some wonderful wine grown and produced by Leonardo and had the first of his extra-Virgin olive oil, oh so good! We stayed a month and it was way too short. I highly recommend this villa and this area!

Villa 2022

Ten friends stayed at the villa for a week. The villa and property were exactly as we had anticipated. Leonardo was exceptional! He responded to our questions and needs in a timely manner and went out of his way to help us resolve a toll road issue we had toward the end of our stay. We highly recommend this property!

Wonderful stay, great place!

Leonardo was awesome and genuine. He was very helpful in arraigning day trips and transportation. We especially enjoyed the wine country tour and the large house kitchen. Lucolena is a great place to spread out and enjoy the country side with family and friends.
