Eleonora was wonderful. She was so helpful. Beds were comfortable. Only problem would be a bit far from the town. Never got to use the pool because weather didn’t cooperate. The pool area was very nice.

Simply amazing,Casolarino is the best

the Casolarino is the best choice to stay with the family in a simply spectacular place, well furnished and with a swimming pool overlooking the Chianti hills. Near the house there are many small villages to visit during the day which make the stay even more beautiful and fun. Eleonora, the owner of this house for more than fifteen years with impeccable care and assistance towards all the needs we have had. We also recommend this house for the fantastic quality/price ratio.

Wonderful holyday

With my family we have been staying at the Casolarino for the last six years, the house is beautiful and charming ,the cleanliness is impeccable (the owner and her family take care of it directly), the rooms are spacious and well-kept , this year they have also renovated all the bathrooms. The property is on a hill, with a beautiful park of olive trees, from the entire house there is a fantastic view of all the surrounding hills. The swimming pool is large and well maintained. Very good, I will definitely come back to visit.

The Perfect Tuscan Escape

We had an amazing week at this beautiful holiday home in Tuscany. The view is absolutely breathtaking – waking up every morning to panoramic scenery of rolling hills and vineyards is truly special.The location is great: peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet just a short drive from charming villages and the local market.The house itself is comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. What stood out to us was how pleasantly cool it stayed inside, even on the hotter days.A special thanks to Eleonora, the host, who was incredibly helpful and kind. She made us feel very welcome and was always available if we had any questions or needed suggestions.In short: a fantastic place for anyone who loves peace, nature, and the real Tuscan lifestyle. We’ll definitely be coming back!
