Casale la Canonica
Location address: Località Pietrafitta - Castellina in Chianti
Casale la Canonica is a picture-perfect property built of typical Tuscan stone and joined to the neighbouring church. This property is ideal for large families or groups and is just 3.5km from one of the five main Chianti towns Castellina.
In front of the villa is a beautiful furnished terrace and wonderful lawn with a large swimming pool surrounded by sun beds. This area is completely private and ideal to enjoy relaxing meals al fresco or just to soak up the warm Tuscan sun. A few steps away from the pool is a gazebo and barbeque area.
The Villa was formerly the priests house - which is how it takes its name - and offers spacious accommodation with 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. There are well-established pretty gardens at the property with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
The original terracotta tiled floors, ceilings and sturdy wooden beams have been retained throughout the property. All of the windows have views out across the gardens and countryside areas surrounding the property.
The main entrance hall has been converted into a study area with large writing desk and 3 chairs. Internet access is provided but you need to bring your own computer. There is a cloakroom here with WC and basin. Two corridors lead from the study area – one to three of the bedrooms and bathrooms and the other to the lounge and kitchen of the property.
The lounge is furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs, flat-screen TV with some satellite channels and open fireplace. In this area is also a large dining table and chairs. An archway takes you from the lounge into the spacious kitchen area with ‘floating island’ that can be used as a preparation area or a breakfast table; there are 4 stools around the island.
The kitchen is well appointed with American style fridge freezer, built-in oven, separate cooking hobs and extractor fan, dishwasher and coffee making machine. There is also a washing machine provided for guests use.
The three bedrooms downstairs all have en-suite bathrooms. Along the hallway to the right you go down a few steps into the first twin bedroom which has an en-suite shower, WC and basin.
On the left hand side of the hallway is a double bedroom which has an en-suite with walk-in shower, WC and basin. The last bedroom along this hallway is another twin room with spacious en-suite with bath and hand-held shower, WC and basin.
Continuing to the top of the stairs you find yourself in another hallway. From here to the left is the third twin bedroom which has an en-suite shower, WC and basin. As you move along the corridor you reach on the left another bedroom. This large bedroom has a handmade iron double bed; the en-suite bathroom is down a few steps and has a bath with hand-held shower, WC and basin.
On the right of the hallway is the large master bathroom which has a Jacuzzi corner bath, separate shower cubicle, his and hers sinks and WC.
The master bedroom is a few steps away and is enormous in size. There is a pretty wrought-iron four poster double bed, fireplace, antique wardrobe and dresser within this spacious room.
Mosquito screens are provided in the upper floor windows.
Casale la Canonica is ideal for large families or groups and is just 3.5km from one of the five main Chianti towns Castellina.

Very comfortable, very private and well located.
No screens on the windows and no fans.
Many good wineries. Liverano Winery on the road to Radda does a wonderful tasting and has great views from its location. Good little town to visit with a great restaurant is Volpaia (just north of Radda) and the restaurant is La Bottega which does lunch and dinner.

Das Haus war toll und sehr groß, also genügend Platz für 12 Personen. Sehr praktisch ist auch, dass jedes Zimmer ein eigenes Badezimmer besitzt. In der großen modernen Küche ist alles was man braucht vorhanden und der schöne Garten mit Pool lädt zum wohlfühlen ein.
Der Ort Castellina in Chianti ist einfach zauberhaft schön und wirklich sehenswert.
Die Zufahrt zur Villa ist nicht wirklich befahrbar!
Wenn man sich sein Auto nicht ruinieren will, fährt man den steilen Aufgang lieber nicht hinauf. Jedoch gestaltete sich somit das Parken etwas schwierig. Rund um die Villa wird man von den Nachbarn durch Abschlepp-Drohungen vertrieben.
Ein weiteres Manko war das Warmwasser im 1. Stock, es lief leider sehr spärlich aus der Leitung und somit dauerte z.B. das Befüllen des Jacuzzi bis zu 2h.
Ein MUSS ist der Besuch in Castellina. Eine wundervolle kleine Altstadt mit tollen Restaurants.
Siena und Florenz sind auch nicht so weit entfernt und einen Ausflug wert.
Einen sehr schönen Abend mit vorzüglichem Essen hatten wir in dem Restaurant unten bei der Zufahrtsstraße.

les cent derniers metres pour acceder a la maison
la tonnelle pour les repas exterieur pas assez grande et mal placé trop enfermé dans un coin

The Villa was spacious and the yard with the pool in it was great. We were out in the nature, yet close enough to the town of Castellina. Kids played in the pool everyday and we had water polo matches in the afternoon. The kitchen is modern and has all cooking and serving items needed. Indoor and outdoor dining areas are great.
I believe the villa needs to have AC units in the top 2 bedrooms. Also, screens on the bottom floor is needed. The beds could have been a little bit more comfortable.
Towns of Rada, Castellina Sienna are very close to the Villa. The location of this villa is charming, set up on hillside in an old village. We ate at a few places, yet the 2 restaurants we ate at in Castellina were very good. La Chiantina is a family run place that is kid friendly. The meals are huge and reasonably priced. Portions are huge and food is very good. Albergaccio is a nicer place and we left the kids at home. We had an amazing meal here; we had pigeon, rabbit, lamb and wild boar as our main course. Entrees included risotto, meatballs etc.. The wine line contained Italy's best(not gaja).

Pictures on website don't do justice to this beautiful place , it was a lot better than I expected , the house is very large and comfortable , the place was simply spectacular , very nice pool .
maybe the owner can cut some trees so people can enjoy the view , other than that no negative points so far
All attractions and restaurants were really nice but the restaurant down the street was phenomenal , we had a couple of dinners there , the personel was friendly and spoke english and spanish.
The little town of Valpoia is out of a movie and don't miss the restaurant La Bottega , very good.

Hello Lisa,
I just wanted to let you know that our holiday was amazing, as was the villa.It was exactly as your company suggested with no hidden or dressed up wording or promises. It was a superb venue which I simply couldn't be bothered moving from and I have already recommended your site to a couple of potential clients.
Thank you for all your help and I look forward to booking with you again.
Best wishes

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.
