Overall: The location was perfect. The short walk into town and the easy access out of town made this a perfect spot in the heart of Tuscany. Enjoyed Most: We loved that we had the best of both worlds. Close enough to town that we could walk with the feeling that we were in the country when you looked out either the front or back of the villa. Enjoyed Least: There was very little to complain about at Casa Gioia. Our only complaint was that the espresso pot was too small and the "American Coffee Maker" was too slow to brew. Also the knives in the kitchen could use some upgrading. Surrounding Area: We loved that we had easy access throughout the Chianti Region. The rolling hills and the landscape are breathtaking. Nearby Events or Locales: The villa is less than a 10 minute walk into Greve. Tips or Restaurants: We have used RentVillas many times now so we are generally used to what to expect when staying at a villa. We travel with our own reuseable shopping bags as well this time we brought a small folding cooler for our trips into the CO-OP. We also travel with Tide-Pods for the washing machine as well as bounce sheets and zip lock bags. Directions: We bring along our own GPS as well as paper maps, but the directions provided got us to the villa with no problems. Check In Out: The check-in and check-out are seamless.
