Stay: August 2012
Our entire party was really impressed with the property itself and the magnificent views. The 2 large master bedrooms were particularly lovely. We liked the fact that there were en-suites all round. The kitchens were modern and were filled with all the things we needed. The pool was a delight, and all the garden furniture made for comfortable lounging! We all adored the manager and the cleaner. We got to meet the owners too... genuinely lovely and helpful people! A wonderful house in a magnificent location!!
A few suggestions... the only dishwasher is in the upstairs kitchen, and this is the only kitchen of the total 4 that we never used because of it's location. The gravel drive made it quite difficult to get up in the cars, which skidded around on the stones. Minor things really...
We were recommended a restaurant in nearby San Sano (it's the only one there in the small village so you can't miss it!) and it was LOVELY... the pasta with truffle oil was delicious! We really enjoyed visiting nearby Radda as well where we found some lovely little shops (many selling beautiful leather goods and several Italian kitchen ware shops) and many welcoming and tasty restaurants as well. For trips further afield, Sienna and Florence were of course a delight... but a long way on those windy roads!!

The view, incredible, beautiful really unique. The little town of Lecchi near the house where you find everything for the house and for eating.
The swmming pool very secure for children and in front of the most beautiful view you can imagine.
Owners that are wonderful persons. we realy love this house
It is arranged for 4 individuals appartments and not a big hose for a big family.
In front of the house, where there is the most beautiful view of all italy, there is a little house... so you cannot see the view!!! It is really a pity
We go much to Castellina in Chianti where there are all the commerce you need, a fantastic antiques botega with jewls very nice and sculptures where all is beautiful and refined. The butcher is also incredible, you can buy fantastic wine and olive oil, etc...

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
