Casa Silvia, Valigondoli - San Casciano in Val di Pesa - Florence and Chianti

2 bedrooms 1 bathroom 4 guests Private Pool 5 - Superb - Superb 5

If you’re looking for a small, secret hideaway in Chianti, this is it. A stone cottage in the hamlet of Valigondoli, Casa Silvia doesn’t do grand but does welcome you with roses outside and wow you with spectacular views. Ideal for a couple, small family or group of friends. You are spoilt for choice with Florence and San Gimignano close by and Siena only a little further, but it may be difficult to pull yourself away from the quiet tranquility here.

Casa Silvia’s garden tumbles downhill, surrounded by a sloping olive grove, with three small terraces to choose from for different parts of the day – meals al fresco, a private pool to cool off, drinks at sunset. Inside, the villa is decorated simply and has all you’ll need, including an open fire for cooler evenings at either end of the season. Valigondoli is a typical Tuscan hill village with one restaurant. The property is attached to several others at the rear and you cross a gravel path, just outside the front door, to reach the private garden, but there’s little doubt this will quickly feel like home. The owners are known for their welcome and helpfulness should you need them. The heating is provided by a system of radiators which are powered by the wood-burning fireplace. Wood and firelighters are provided by the owner. There is also a gas-powered stove which can be used by guests.

Casa Silva biedt een mooie locatie met een prachtig uitzicht en een privézwembad. Helaas bleek de privacy op het privéterras beperkt, aangezien verschillende buren direct zicht hadden op ons terras. Verder was alles schoon, volgens de Italiaanse standaard.

Er was geen airconditioning beschikbaar, alleen twee ventilatoren. Helaas ging een van deze ventilatoren na een paar dagen kapot. Toen we de eigenaars hierover informeerden, kregen we te horen dat de klusjesman op vakantie was, wat niet ideaal was tijdens een hittegolf.

Gezien de prijs hadden we een hogere kwaliteit verwacht. Zo waren er bijvoorbeeld buiten stoelen die met ducttape waren gerepareerd.

Ondanks deze punten hebben we over het algemeen toch een zeer fijne vakantie gehad in Casa Silva.
Local attractions Onze favoriet restaurants in de buurt waren Poggio al Sole en Trattoria Della Fonte.

Dank u voor uw feedback en voor uw verblijf in Casa Silva. We zijn blij dat u genoten heeft van uw vakantie ondanks de problemen die u heeft vermeld. De ventilator is gerepareerd en we verontschuldigen ons voor het ongemak. Wat betreft de stoel, het was een tijdelijke oplossing om de bruikbaarheid te behouden, en we waarderen uw begrip. We hopen u snel weer te zien in Toscane.
