Una vista de San Gimignano desde la cima de una colina cubierta de viñedos.

Four of us (including 2 teenagers) had a very re)taxing and trouble free trip to Le Bagnaie. Beautiful location with plenty of space to recharge.

Pool area fantastic and scenic vistas are wonderful.

We had Serena make a FULL Tuscan dinner one evening and wished we'd done it again. Fabulous.

Would recommend this if you like the space of the countryside and willing to drive. If you are the rewards of Le Bagnaie are many.

Jacky property manager also on hand if required and very helpful, including giving us ideas where to eat.

What a beautiful place!

My husband and I were lucky to spend five wonderful weeks drinking in the views from this hilltop aerie. The scenery is captivating – an undulating quilt of vineyards, olive trees, pastures, hilltop hamlets, distant medieval towers, colorful flowers, and winding roads, punctuated with cypress avenues and the occasional rumbling tractor. It’s almost too enchanting to describe; we looked forward to evenings on the terrace with a glass(es) of local chianti as the shadows faded across the hills into twinkling nights. Perfection.

And what a great location! We had so much fun discovering/exploring the nearby towns: Siena, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Castellina in Chianti (best gelato in the universe), Panzano, Greve, Volterra, Montalcino, Gaiole, Montepulciano, Cortona, tiny Lornano and Lamole… We chose to train into Florence rather than drive; it’s 10 minutes to the station in Castellina Scalo and 90 minutes to the heart of the city.

I won’t describe the food, but there’s a reason I now have 20 pounds to lose. Worth it.

This “house” is one of eight that were remodeled from an ancient hilltop farm: absolutely charming, with most of the mod cons, but think “farm” rather than “luxe.” We loved the sense of immersing ourselves in nature – rough stone, timbered ceilings, tile floors – rather than slick modernity. Is there anything more glorious than toasting your toes on the hearth of an enormous farmhouse fireplace, or throwing open wooden shutters to greet the morning sun? The house is comfortable, the kitchen well stocked with pots and pans and dishes, and it has nice spaces for relaxing with company.

The estate is immaculately maintained by friendly retainers: two cheerful gardeners who keep the extensive garden bursting with colorful blooms and delicious vegetables (which guests are invited to harvest and cook for dinner) – and five efficient housekeepers who keep everything tidy and clean. All of these are led by a supremely competent and personable property manager who responds immediately, can advise or arrange any kind of excursion/activity, is generous with her time, and handles emergencies with aplomb. She knows absolutely everything, and her cheerful reassurance multiplied our conference in striking out on our own.

Do not pass up any opportunity to stay here for as long as you possibly can.

Great property with the most spectacular view from the loggia. Our family used this house as our home base as we visited Siena, Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Crete Senesi drive, and much more. We especially loved the goat farm in Radda.

Having Serena prepare an authentic Tuscan dinner was the perfect way to cap off a fantastic week!
