Basilico at Castellare in Chianti

Castellare in Chianti is a lovely hamlet in the Tuscan hills near Gaiole in Chianti. It is recently restored with care and to a good standard. There are three buildings which house 9 individual villas, the reception and the custodian's villa.
The large pool is located down a few steps immediately next to the buildings, it's surrounded by a wooden fence with three gates. A pretty pine forest bordering the pool area provides shade.
This wonderful Tuscan hamlet is well positioned in the Chianti hills above Gaiole and about 3.5km from a little village where there is a restaurant. It's surrounded by a cooling forest which keeps it fresh during the hot Tuscan days.
All the individual eating areas are open to the hamlet grounds which makes this the ideal property for those who seek contact with other guests. There is also a quiet road which passes the hamlet, however occasional traffic can be heard.
Pets are allowed at Castellare in Chianti however must remain on a leash in the communal grounds. At the property there is a fenced area especially for pets where they can be let lose to run around.

De prachtige ligging in een bijna idyllische omgeving. De leiding (Tanja en Stefano) zijn erg vriendelijke, innemende mensen, met zorg voor je. Tanja is echt een lieverd.
De keuken en huisraad was wat aan de magere kant.
Wij vonden de Chianti omgeving uiterst fraai. Leuke steden en stadjes in de nabije omgeving. Restaurants te over.
Veel mooie, wilde dieren gezien en gehoord, met name mooie vogels (nachtegaal, wielewaal, diverse mooie vinkensoorten, bijeneter).

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.
