Perfect Chianti location
Nice townhouse in a wonderfully centralized area. We wanted to explore the Chianti region from a 'home-base' and the Castellina in Chianti area was ideal for us.

Heaven in Chianti
We had wonderful stay at Localita Granaio and in the Castellini in Chianti area. The villa was amazing with its history and setting and we loved the beautiful views as we sat on the patio with our wine and cheese. Our host Pietro could not have been better- helpful but not intrusive, informative and friendly. The general area also had so much to offer. We would go back in a minute! Thanks Pietro

Quiet, Relaxing Villa in a Beautiful Village!
When we arrived the owner met us at the appartment and showed us around. His communication with us was great leading upto our arrival. The setting of this place is absolutely amazing. So quiet and beautiful. The views from both sides of the house are wonderful. We played tennis on the court with such an outstanding view. The pool looks great too, but it was out of season for us. Well located to visiting various hill top towns. We also did a wine tour at one of the many wineries in the area which I highly recomend (We did Monsanto, but there are lots of options in the area). The kitchen was very well equiped and everything was in good working order in the house. We cooked here every day. The rooms are large and we were very comfortable for our 5 day stay in April. It's essential you have a car. If you are looking to get away from the bustle of the city and have a relaxing and quiet setting close to midevil towns and wineries, this place is a terrific option.

De forma espontánea decidimos pasar las vacaciones de Carnaval en la Toscana. Nos llamó la atencion esta casita y esta zona y no nos defraudó en absoluto. La zona es preciosa, el pueblito donde esta la casa es increible y la casa, que decir. Perfecta, acogedora, auténtica. Puesta con mucho gusto, camas impecables, chimenea y todo lo necesario para estar agusto. Lo mejor de todo,el anfitrión. Pietro es super amable y encantador. Nos dio un montón de ideas para visitar la zona, nos trajo extra de leña y se preocupó de que estuviésemos como en casa. Super recomendable. Volveremos!

Great view and true Tuscany experience, the host is super helpful and friendly. We were here just in time for olive harvest, Pietro kindly gave us a bottle of fresh olive oil squeezed from the olive harvest from their own backyard, it was the most delicious thing ever. What a magical place. We will stay here again.

Tuscany at its best
Pietro is the perfect host, providing dining and touring suggestions. The house was fully stocked with paper and cleaning products, oils and spices. Our views from the front and especially back patios we’re amazing. The house is unique and the little village has a cool history. We encountered deer, rabbits and pigs and fed a few feral kittens. We would definitely stay here again.

Idyllic location with magnificent views
We stayed 2 weeks in August, Pietro was a charming, gracious and thoughtful host, responding quickly to emails and making helpful suggestions of places to visit. The apartment is spacious, clean and well equipped, we were grateful for the 2 electric fans in the heat. It is located in a hill top village where there are 25 properties that share the pool and tennis court. We often had the pool to ourselves and the water was the perfect temperature. The views are absolutely stunning, it has an "away from it all" feel. We shopped in the Pam supermarkets which was 20 minutes away and we discovered some great restaurants. It is the ideal location from which to explore Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and many other beautiful towns and villages. It is worth noting that the 3rd bedroom is a mezzanine which is reached by climbing some stairs from the 2nd bedroom and the 3rd bedroom looks over the 2nd bedroom. The WiFi has a good connection but (at the time of writing) there was only 7 gb of data for each week. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend this apartment very much

Amazing stay!
This is one of the most beautiful places to stay in all of Italy! The setting is gorgeous in a tiny ancient village now converted to vacation rentals. The views of the Tuscan hills and vineyards are incredible and it was so quiet and peaceful. The unit itself was spacious, clean and rustic but with all the conveniences necessary for travelers. The back patio was private and allowed us to eat outside and sip vino Rosso and watch nighttime settle on the valley. We cooked almost every night in a kitchen well equipped. The location couldn’t be better with three incredible wineries very close by. The closest town Castallina in Chianti is quaint and beautiful. This is the exact region where the real Chianti Classico wine is made. Lastly Pietro was a very gracious host and super nice guy. I highly recommend this place!!!!

Great location and beautiful view
We had a lovely visit in Chianti at this property. Lovely, large living room, fully-equipped kitchen, nice bedrooms and a garden with a beautiful view. The location is great for visiting the various towns of Chianti and is only fifteen minutes from the autostrada as well. The host was very helpful, answering our questions about restaurants and shops, and bringing us a fan during the heat wave. Very nice visit.

A wonderful stay in Tuscany
Pietro made sure we had a relaxing and very enjoyable stay in his cool, peaceful apartment. He went out of his way to be helpful, making sure we had parking outside a restaurant on the night we arrived, and dealing with a swarm of bees that arrived at the apartment while we were there. We enjoyed the patio with its beautiful views across the Tuscan country side and used the pool, although it was early in the season, and the water was still quite cold. The apartment is in a great location, and we visited several small towns nearby, as well as Sienna, and Florence. We were sorry to leave.

The perfect place to stay in the Wine Region of Tuscany - stunning!
...we booked very last minute mid-September, hoping to get the best of the late summer weather in Europe - we had always wanted to explore Tuscany beyond our previous trips to Florence. We exchanged emails prior to booking with the host Pietro, making sure the property had all we needed. Pietro couldn't have been more helpful, all our questions were answered within the hour and our booking made. We booked flights to Pisa and arrived in Italy 2-days later. Within an hour of landing we were in our hire car (essential)... I would say it takes about one and half hours to drive direct to Castellina In Chianti from Pisa Airport, although we had opted to stay a few days near Lucca beforehand. Once we got off the motorway and entered the Chianti Region the landscape was stunning, peaceful with clear blue skies and sunshine which remained at 28-31 degrees for our stay. Expectations can sometimes be let down but safe to say this part of Tuscany exceeded all our expectations - simply stunning. The 'Apartment'... once we had parked up we entered the Medieval Hamlet by foot, the host Pietro was already waiting for our arrival. Pietro was very welcoming and showed us around the property, offering information on local places to eat and visit. For us the property was perfect, clean with all mod cons, with a fantastic view from your own private garden complete with BBQ etc. The grounds were amazing, with a large pool (water was an ideal 24 degrees) and tennis court. We spent most of our time outside or exploring the sites in central Tuscany. Location was perfect, about halfway between Florence and Siena... it took us about 20-30mins to drive to Siena (park in the train station underground car park, 2 Euros for the day with escalators to take you right up to the top - you then have a 20 minute walk but its flat and easy) and most other landmarks are no more than 30-50 minutes drive. If you want to walk to a local restaurant then this place is not for you, you need a car, however if you want to spend time relaxing in the pool or drinking a bottle of wine in the sun... ...we booked for 7-days and for us it was a perfect introduction to Central Tuscany, Pietro was a great host... we have travelled most of Europe and would say Tuscany is way up at the top of the list... the food and scenery are hard to beat ...10/10. Thank you Pietro.

Words are not sufficient to capture the beauty of this impressive property.
When Janet and I read the reviews in advance of our trip to Italy, we hoped the property could live up to the hype. Guess what, it was even better. On a nature reserve high up in the Castellina in Chianti Region with a panoramic vista stretching 60 kilometers overlooking endless fields of grape vines and olive trees, lies the most beautiful centuries old manor, our home for 2 weeks. Our apartment within the complex had all of the modern conveniences including fully equipped kitchen, living room and 3 bedrooms. On the outside with tables and chairs and stone barbecue we always had choice of dining options. We enjoyed cooling down in the beautiful extra large swimming pool after 33 degree days visiting Florence, Siena, San Gimagnano and many towns in Tuscany. The property is ideally situated half way between Florence and Siena which was a benefit for visiting sites. Our host Pietro was very helpful in giving us suggestions on places to see and very attentive in ensuring we enjoyed our stay. For those who rent a car we suggest when visiting Florence take the train. which runs several times a day and takes roughly an hour. In summary the special feature of this property was the atmosphere of complete relaxation following full days visiting and experiences so many amazing places. Our recommendation to couples and or families is book this property and enjoy. Sincere thanks to Pietro John & Janet Nova Scotia Canada

Le rez de chaussée est bien accueillant avec sa cuisine conviviale et son grand salon qui ouvre sur un jardin offrant une vue magnifique sur les vignes et la campagne.Le lieu est idyllique et calme.Situé à la croisée des villes à voir (Sienne,Florence,San Giminiano ),c'est un lieu idéal pour des vacances reposantes et culturelles.La maison doit être bien agréable l'été avec ses murs de pierre.Merci beaucoup à Pietro pour tout.
