We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Podere Tegline hosted by Giovanni and Simonetta. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. Simonetta was wonderfully welcoming, communicative before and during our stay with clear and explicit information, especially directions for their private farmhouse in the lush hills of Chinati. Both she and Giovanni were a wealth of information about the region. We especially enjoyed our fascinating evening and dinner with our hosts, learning the art of pasta making, history and all about the food and drink from the iconic Chianti region of Tuscany. Our young children loved mucking about the farm and the friendly horse-"dog" Lori. For the parents, tasting their self-made production of wine and olive oil was another highlight. We highly recommend Podere Tegline for families and all those in search of a relaxing, rustic and authentic experience with true Tuscan locals!
