This place is an absolute gem. Stayed for three nights, and wish it could have been more! Beautiful scenery, gracious host, and wonderful rooms! The perfect distance for day trips into Florence, about an hour away. But far enough off the beaten path to be secluded from everything around us. Be sure to take the cooking class if you have...

We loved our stay here for 2 nights while we were on our honeymoon last June. The room was charming, very relaxing, and the food was delicious! More

We could not have imagined a better place to stay than at this remote Villa, with so much history and charm. Our only regret was not staying there for our whole trip... The best things we remember about this lovely place: - The smell of rosemary bushes delighting our senses as we walked through the property - Picking fresh figs... More

The grounds were beautiful and the common areas were nice as well. The home-cooked meal that Edith and others prepared was probably the best we had on our... More

The property is built in the same style as all houses in Chianti. Our suite was located on ground floor with actually 3 separate... More

This was the 1st hotel of our 2011 tandem cycling holiday in the Chianti / Siena region. So today was the initial test of the Tuscan terrain, heat and our fitness. Setting off from Impruneta the riding was easy until we had our 1st climb out of Greve up to Panzano. After stopping for lunch in the shaded square we... More
