Stayed here with EXPLORE on a walking holiday. Castellina in Chianti is a beautiful village with fab restaurants and is as quaint and cute as a button. Vila Godenano is a perfect place to chill and relax after a busy day. The house keeper Lena is beyond fab and just smiles ear to ear all day - a gem of... More

This villa is situated on a hill with a beautiful view of the valley. It is walking distance from the village for shopping, and placed well for visiting other villages in Tuscany. The rooms are clean, fresh decor, quite elegant, and the baths modern. There is a gathering room with a bar, which we used for serving up our own... More

this was my second stay at the Villa, love it! Food is yummy and the wine was free flowing. The Villa is a 10 min walk to Castellina which has some great shopping .

It's very quiet and peaceful and we liked the feeling of "being at home". On saturdays, there is a market at Castellina in Chianti,... More

This place could have been lovely. The location is great and the grounds are pretty with great views. However, there is no service at all. The people looking after the place don't care a great deal and speak no english, so basic knowledge of Italian or French are required to communicate. The first room we were shown had ants crawling...
