Calafralina is a pretty Tuscan villa located in the heart of the Chianti halfway between Castellina in Chianti and Radda in Chianti. It is divided into several cottages around a central communal building.
Surrounding the little Tuscan cottages is a large garden simply maintained with an orchard, olive grove and some large trees. To one side of a large grassy area is a pool overlooking stunning views. The pool is fenced with a modest fence.
The main living area is a large stone building with huge glass windows and doors on three sides making it an incredibly bright room and providing it with the effect of being outside amongst the trees that surround it. Outside, shaded by the trees is a wooden table with benches to eat al fresco if desired.
Inside is paved with traditional terracotta tiles and has a high pitched roof with wooden beams and terracotta tiles. To one side is a large modern angle sofa with a second two seater sofa.
In the centre of this light filled room is an iron dining table with glass top, surrounded by cushioned iron chairs. To one side is a fireplace which also acts as a barbeque.
To the back of the room is the small kitchen. It's fully equipped with gas hobs, oven, dishwasher and an American style fridge with separate freezer compartment. Behind this is the laundry room.
The first of the other three buildings that make up the property is attached to the back of the communal building. It's composed of a spacious bedroom with a high ceiling. The room is with an iron double bed which can be divided into two singles. To one side of the room is a large wardrobe and a couple of armchairs. En-suite is a small bathroom with shower.
The second cottage is approximately 30metres away from the communal area, and a few steps away from the pool. It's a typical Tuscan stone cottage. It is not overly bright but is a lovely romantic cottage. There is a pretty, double iron bed, large wardrobe and an armchair. En-suite is a small bathroom with open shower.
The last three bedrooms are all part of a single building, next to the communal area. The building is on a sloped part of the land and has a large terrace above it, accessible from the higher part of the slope.
The bedrooms are all independently accessed from the garden, onto which a glass door opens. There are no other windows in the rooms. Each has a simple en-suite bathroom with shower. Each room is connected to fresh air ventilation system.
These modern three bedrooms are identically furnished with a double bed, armchair and a writing desk with chair. They all have a built-in wardrobe.
Note this Tuscan villa is recommended for the warmer months as there is no direct access to it from the bedrooms without crossing the garden.
The owner has a private holiday villa on the property, to the back of Calafralina, he rarely uses his villa.
The pool is reserved for the use of guests only and is not used by the owner.
The cottage with the 5th bedroom is not indicated in the floor plans
Internet WI-FI available in the villa for free. Please bring your own laptop.
Tea and coffee facilities are available in every bedroom.

Belle maison sur un beau grand domaine très tranquille, située à mi-chemin entre 2 villages typiques, Vue magnifique sur la Toscane, piscine gigantesque. Le fait d'avoir le jardinier sur place tous les jours et qui pouvait nous aider / répondre à nos petites questions en cas de besoin était vraiment bien.
Plusieurs villes / villages qui regorgent de boutiques et de bons restos sont situés à max 1 heure de route (San Gimignano, Voltera, Siena, Montepulciano, etc.) ce qui permet d'effectuer des visites, puis de profiter de la piscine vers la fin de l'après-midi.

Site exceptionnel de beauté et de charme, idéalement placé pour rayonner sur les villes et villages de Toscane.
Un aménagement général (séjour et pièces de nuit éclatés et répartis sur le site) dans une très grande propriété très arborée permettant à la fois la convivialité générale et l'indépendance de chacun et de plus une piscine de rêve dominant un paysage enchanteur. Des aménagements divers bien pensés ( terrain de boules, Coin Barbecue) d'autres exotiques et animés ( chenil, poulailler) ajoutent à ce charme général.
Seule petite ombre au tableau quelques détails domestiques, matériel de cuisine fatigué( cuisinière, lave vaisselle, machine à café ) mais surtout une table et des chaises de séjour étudiées pour le décor, mais pas du tout pour une vie quotidienne à 9 ou 10.

A quelques kilomètres Castellina et Radda sont de très jolis et très pittoresques villages Toscan qu'il est très agréable de fréquenter au quotidien, mais que dire de la beauté des paysages qui agrémentent les trajets pour se rendre sur tous les sites plus merveilleux les uns que les autres, Sienne, Volterra, San Gémignano, Florence...La réserve de sites à découvrir nécessiterait plusieurs séjours

Die Anlage hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen --- lediglich die Ausstattung könnte mal aufgefrischt werden ( Badezimmer, Tische und Stühle im Essbereich...)
Auch sollte die Elektrik / Außenbeleuchtung von einem Fachmann instandgesetzt werden ( abends sehr dunkel !)

We liked the location of the villa and the facilities, especially the fire pit, we were able to cook ourselves a lovely dinner on it. We liked the separation of the bedrooms, we were able to all have our own space.
We felt that the furniture in the living area was not very comfortable, the dining room table was too big for the space, and that we weren't told the dishwasher wasn't working properly and we got a few electric shocks off it. A lot of the outside lighting was not working and the pool needed a bit of maintenance.

We found most of the restaurants were good and the vineyards.
The local deli was nice.

Unfortunately, the dishwasher did have a problem - the owner has reported that it was checked and fixed and is now working fine. The pool is maintained every two days. The external lights are set to switch on automatically at twilight. If they are switched off by mistake from the inside, they will not come on.
