Overall: Very good experience. Neat property, and location. About a full hour drive from Florence as we arrived via high speed train to Florence. Enjoyed Most: Great views, and very private. Enjoyed Least: The only real problem was the weather, as it turned cold right before we got there, and it stayed that way for the 6 days we were there. Consequently we incurred some discomfort as they are not prepared to heat the house which is quite large. Two small portable heaters is all they had, which means that the entire house was pretty cold especially at night. We also used the fireplace, however there was no flue in the chimney so the house became very smoky. Surrounding Area: Just a great area. Heart of the Chianti region so the wine tasting is just excellent. Also the small towns in the area are just wonderful, particularly Castellina In Chianti, it is very pretty, great restaurants, and charm. Nearby Events or Locales: Castellina In Chianti is about 5 km from the house. Tips or Restaurants: The issue of heat needs to be addressed is you are staying in the late fall as we did. None of the items would be an issue in warmer weather. Directions: We did use GPS, and the directions provided were also good.
