Overall: It was a wonderful villa set in the middle of the vineyard with olive trees surrounding the pool. The wine produced on the estate was also very good and you could purchase it from the stocked cabinet. Enjoyed Most: The setting. We would sit out on the deck and just absorb the overall beauty. It was very peaceful at night and there was not a sound until day break when the rooster would welcome the new day. Surrounding Area: The villa has a great location. One of the small, nearby towns is Greve in Chianti and others were only 15 minutes away by car. Then, within an hour, we visited the towns of Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence. Two hours away is the city of Bologna which is worth the trip! Nearby Events or Locales: Leonardo, the caretaker of the villa, made reservations for us our first night when we arrived in a general store. We were seated down in the the basement and we weren't quite sure what to expect but the local meal they prepared was great! Tips or Restaurants: GPS, GPS, GPS. Directions: Thank God we had the GPS. We had to enter the property's coordinates to find it and the turn is a sharp one off the road, but its worth the trip! Check In Out: That was fine; we left a day early and Leonardo was very accommodating.
