The property is beautiful, it features a pool and spectacular scenery to sit, relax and enjoy after visiting the nearby cities like Siena or Florence. The outside area for the restaurant has a beautiful view across the valley. In the warmer months the outdoor area is used for both breakfast & lunch.
The Villa prefers to use its own produce for their restaurant and the produce has so much flavour it is has your taste buds dancing. The grape tomatos were so sweet, they could have been candies. The local region's produce is also utilised in their meals. They have a more rustic styled cuisine typical of the local region. They also have local wines and the Chianti Classico's on their list were delightful.
The rooms are quite spacious and ours boasted a kitchenette in a multi level room, although we had views of the courtyard, the rooms proved to be very comfortable.
The main salon is decorated of the period and well maintained. The Villa has little extras like a honour system bar. The only draw back was their isn't a lift, so if you happen to have one of the rooms in the higher levels bringing your luggage up can be taxing. Fortunately I know how to pack well & light as it's part of my what I teach.
The Verdict, if you want to stay in the heart of the chianti region without being to far from the major cities, enjoy great local produce and wines while relaxing over spectacular views. I would definitely recommend this Villa. Just remember to travel light!
