A remarkable property in the Chianti hills. Incredibly large - seems quite imposing at first, but we soon got used to it and really missed the space when we left and returned to our everyday lives. I am not sure what this building was intended for originally, but it has been converted into a very spacious villa that can comfortably accommodate 10 people. The dining area has a large table so family dining is easy and as it is just off the kitchen, not too far to carry food and drinks. The lounge is not quite large enough for all occupants to gather comfortably, but this wasn't a problem as we tended to split into a couple of groups anyway and there is a second lounge just off the main one. Although not all rooms are en-suite, there are plenty of bathrooms and toilets so no problem there. The outdoor space is the real feature of this villa, the infinity pool is easily the best we have ever had the pleasure to use and even after a very spectacular thunder storm it was clean and not full of leaves as others have been. The views from the rear of the property are absolutely beautiful, never tired of watching the clouds skip along the hill tops and the grape pickers beginning to collect in their harvest. The 'dirt' trail - partly tarmac'd - made for a great place to run, walk or cycle. Once again the views are spectacular once you get a mile or so out. Plenty of parking, although the slope is a bit tricky to negotiate and a very well equipped laundry room. All in all we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property, it is incredibly good value for money and the perfect location at which to base your exploration of the Chianti region.
