My family and I stayed in the charming and historically rich Tegline farmhouse in June of 2017 . Our apartment was very clean and hospitable--with great views and a stunning hearth that dates back to the Roman Empire. Our hosts, Simonetta, Giovani, and their three children, we're incredibly gracious and helpful. They invited us for a home cooked traditional Tuscan dinner with the other guests and also provided tremendous help in providing local history and recommendations for places to eat or visit. They were, easily, the most helpful hosts that I've met to date. The location, as well, is tremendous. The vineyard and farmhouse are tucked away in the hills in a tiny town called Lucarelli--which is conveniently located in the heart of Tuscany and less than an hours drive from Florence and Sienna. If your not looking to city hop you'll still find plenty of shopping, dining, wine tasting, and photo opportunities in Chianti and Lucarelli.
I highly recommend staying at the Tegline farmhouse if you plan to visit Tuscany. Indeed, we were sad to leave and hope to return again soon.
