Heerlijke week gehad met mijn familie! De locatie voldeed helemaal aan de verwachtingen.

Villa magnifique avec tout le confort nécessaire et très bien équipée. Un environnement de rêve.
Très belle piscine mais dommage qu'elle ne soit pas chauffée. C'est le seul bémol de notre séjour.

We had a great week at the villa. The location is great. It was comfortable and felt very Tuscan, a bit quirky with all the religious artwork! The villa is very big, and each room has its own bathroom which is nice for a group so you can have your own space. The villa had everything we needed and was good value for money. The pool area is nice (be prepared for the mosquitos though) though the pool was a tad cool for us in September.
Would recommend staying here.

Francesco organised an in villa cooking class with his chef friend Andrea, this was definitely one of the highlights of our week.

It would have been nice to get enough toilet papers and kitchen linen.

Actually, the most important problem we had was the heat.
Due to the very high temperature it would have been nice to get an air conditioned system in operation.

It is a pity to rent such villa villa at that price without this amenity.

Un endroit parfait pour un séjour en famille avec des enfants, lesquels profitaient de la piscine après une journée de visite et d’activités.

We were a family/friends of 10 adults and a toddler, the photos of the villa do not do it justice, it is amazing; very spacious, the pool area is also fabulous, plenty of seating, shade and sun loungers. The manager, was already at the villa when we arrived, he is extremely friendly and helpful.

There is a wonderful restaurant a short walk down the hill Enoteca Nuovali, we ate there a couple of evenings, they are very welcoming, proper home style cooking, house wine very reasonable. Every morning a couple of us would walk into the nearest town Castellina in Chianti and get fresh bread, this walk is not for the feint hearted, very hilly and about an hour each way! Castellina in Chianti is a lovely town with quite a few restaurants a Co-Op and a few small delis. Florence and Siena are well worth a visit and they are a relatively short car journey away.

We are delighted to report that the owner of Casale La Canonica has made some significant improvements recently. They have added new sunloungers, sun umbrellas and pool towels. They have also replenished the kitchen with new cutlery, dishes, glasses etc.
