Pietro is a host who does everything possible to make your stay comfortable. We loved the silence of the evenings, the gorgeous view, listening to the birds and the tranquility of the location. And the restaurants recommended be Pietro were excellent!
...we booked very last minute mid-September, hoping to get the best of the late summer weather in Europe - we had always wanted to explore Tuscany beyond our previous trips to Florence. We exchanged emails prior to booking with the host Pietro, making sure the property had all we needed. Pietro couldn't have been more helpful, all our questions were answered within the hour and our booking made. We booked flights to Pisa and arrived in Italy 2-days later.
Within an hour of landing we were in our hire car (essential)... I would say it takes about one and half hours to drive direct to Castellina In Chianti from Pisa Airport, although we had opted to stay a few days near Lucca beforehand. Once we got off the motorway and entered the Chianti Region the landscape was stunning, peaceful with clear blue skies and sunshine which remained at 28-31 degrees for our stay. Expectations can sometimes be let down but safe to say this part of Tuscany exceeded all our expectations - simply stunning.
The 'Apartment'... once we had parked up we entered the Medieval Hamlet by foot, the host Pietro was already waiting for our arrival. Pietro was very welcoming and showed us around the property, offering information on local places to eat and visit. For us the property was perfect, clean with all mod cons, with a fantastic view from your own private garden complete with BBQ etc. The grounds were amazing, with a large pool (water was an ideal 24 degrees) and tennis court. We spent most of our time outside or exploring the sites in central Tuscany. Location was perfect, about halfway between Florence and Siena... it took us about 20-30mins to drive to Siena (park in the train station underground car park, 2 Euros for the day with escalators to take you right up to the top - you then have a 20 minute walk but its flat and easy) and most other landmarks are no more than 30-50 minutes drive. If you want to walk to a local restaurant then this place is not for you, you need a car, however if you want to spend time relaxing in the pool or drinking a bottle of wine in the sun...
...we booked for 7-days and for us it was a perfect introduction to Central Tuscany, Pietro was a great host... we have travelled most of Europe and would say Tuscany is way up at the top of the list... the food and scenery are hard to beat ...10/10.
Thank you Pietro.
When Janet and I read the reviews in advance of our trip to Italy, we hoped the property could live up to the hype. Guess what, it was even better. On a nature reserve high up in the Castellina in
Chianti Region with a panoramic vista stretching 60 kilometers overlooking endless fields of grape vines and olive trees, lies the most beautiful centuries old manor, our home for 2 weeks. Our apartment within the complex had all of the modern conveniences including fully equipped kitchen, living room and 3 bedrooms.
On the outside with tables and chairs and stone barbecue we always had choice of dining options. We enjoyed cooling down in the beautiful extra large swimming pool after 33 degree days visiting Florence, Siena, San Gimagnano and many towns in Tuscany.
The property is ideally situated half way between Florence and Siena which was a benefit for visiting sites.
Our host Pietro was very helpful in giving us suggestions on places to see and very attentive in ensuring we enjoyed our stay.
For those who rent a car we suggest when visiting Florence take the train. which runs several times a day and takes roughly an hour. In summary the special feature of this property was the atmosphere of complete relaxation following full days visiting and experiences so many amazing places.
Our recommendation to couples and or families is book this property and enjoy.
Sincere thanks to Pietro

Nice and clean apartment, with wonderful views on the Chianti hills. Pietro is a very attentive host. We loved the peaceful location in the middle of the woods, yet it was close to interesting villages to visit.
Returning to a well-known place for the fourth time and enjoying the freshness of nature during springtime - this is something very special. The location is extraordinary calm at this time of the year. Close to the important cities such as Siena and Florence, the site is ideal for discovering the development of art at the end of the Middle Ages.
This is our third visit now to Granaio and we continue to be amazed by its magical enchantment and attraction.
As always the house is immaculately clean and looked after, it is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoy the use of the facilities, such as the swimming pool, and the tranquility of the private garden looking out over the fantastic views is just so relaxing.
The nearby town of Poggibonsi is one we have grown very fond of and provides excellent amenities close at hand, such as a well-equipped Supermarket (PAM).
The owner Pietro is always willing to help and is very accommodating.
We will definitely return again next year to this beautiful and enchanted house.
What a wonderful holiday, yet again! Thank you Pietro.
Molti Grazie
Mike & Jules.
