Resort: 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.

Pool Info

The pool is full fenced with a wooden fence and netting with three gates for entry. It is located to one side of the hamlet buildings and is overlooked by the cottage and three of the apartments. To one side it is protected by a lovely pine forest which also provides some shade for parts of the day.

The entire area has a lovely English lawn which has several sun-beds. There are traditional metal steps into the pool.
The pool is 12x6 metres and 0.8-2.10 metres deep. It's open from May to October.

Generell eine hervorragende Anlage!
Minuspunkte gibt es lediglich für die Lage. Diese ist dem Grunde nach auch hervorragend, aber man braucht für jeden Ausflug mind. 1h Fahrtzeit!
Kein deutsches TV.

Unser Geheimtipp 'Osteria la Starda'... hervorragende Küche und supernettes Ambiente! Kann man durchaus jeden Tag hingehen ;-) San Gusme ist etwa 15min. entfernt, aber zum Speisen zauberhaft. Das Glockenspiel ist auch ganz nett.

Mooie omgeving, zeer gastvrije ontvangst, zeer goed onderhouden accommodatie, prima zwembad met voldoende ligbedden.
Ook is er een tafeltennistafel en een gril aanwezig.
Om boodschappen te halen moet je rekenen op een rit van een half uur voor je bij een Coop winkel bent. Het is er mooi rijden met slingerweggetjes,

Il Bandito op ca 10 minuten rijden met een fantastisch uitzicht; een laagdrempelige keuken en lekkere zelfgemaakte frieten. Je kunt er goed wandelen; Een gps is aan te raden omdat de routes niet altijd even goed staan aangegeven, Als je van wielrennen/moutainbiken houdt is het ook een fijne omgeving met veel hoogte verschil. Vooral op de binnenwegen geen vlak stuk te bekennen, Siena met de auto; Florence met de trein vanaf Montevarchi.

We LOVED it and one day hope to return. Tiziano (owner) met us on the day we arrived. The room wasn't quite ready but we relaxed in the garden until it was. Our room was comfortable and had all the facilities we needed.
Cute playground for the kids and the pool was lovely. Perfect temperature and a good depth that our 4 year old could stand on his own too which was a bonus.
The gardens are beautiful and it is just such a special place.

The location for us was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed Gaiole and its neighbouring towns and villages. San Guzme was a real highlight. Osteria di Bandito was great. They made us feel like family and the food was delicious. Lo spozia di Bianchi. We ate several meals here. Bfst/Lunch and dinner. Food was superb and the staff really lovely. The Prada outlet being so close at Montevarchi was helpful so I didn't have to travel far. Siena for the day was stunning.

Die Anlage ist sehr schön mit viel Freizeitgestaltungs-Möglichkeiten. Die Verwalterin Tatjana ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Leider auch Negatives: Die SAT-Anlage war nicht funktionsfähig. Die Raumfeuchtigkeit im Doppelbettzimmer und dazugehörigem Bad war sehr hoch. In der Küche ließen Töpfe und Pfannen sehr zu wünschen übrig. Die Wegebeschreibung war bis Castilagno sehr gut. Wichjtig wäre daraufhinzuweisen, dass in Castilagno ab dem Weingut noch ca. 3 km gerade aus weiter zu fahren wäre. Ebenfalls ist die km-Markierung nicht 7.2 sondern II/7.

Die von uns besuchten Städte und Sehenswürdigkeiten im Umkreis von 50 km waren sehr interessant. Umliegende Restaurants können wir weiterempfehlen.

Thank you for your review. The owner has checked the WIFI and it is now working well. The rooms were also checked and seem fine. Quite often after heavy rainfall, the villas in Tuscany can feel damp. Heating is available and charged by consumption. The owner will add a humidifier. The dishes and crockery have been checked and replenished. Tatiana is onsite and available to help with any issues.

Die Ferienwohnung hat eine komfortable Größe. Besonders schön fanden wir, dass wir draussen im Hof unsere Mahlzeiten einnehmen konnten. Der Pool und die Liegewiese waren top gepflegt und erfrischend. Es sind genug Liegen für alle Gäste vorhanden.
Das Doppelzimmer mit den Einzelbetten und das dazu gehörige Bad hatten -aufgrund eines vorher geschehenen Wasserschadens - einen unangenehmen, muffigen Geruch. Da beide Räume nicht auf der Sonnenseite liegen und damit abtrocknen konnten, hielt sich der Geruch bis zum Ende unseres Aufenthaltes.

Owner Comment: We would like to thank our host for the suggestions - we have already increased the number of seats available. Regarding the smell of mould, sorry. It was linked to a problem that had occurred during the stay of previous guests. Now we have taken steps to eliminate it.

Le charme de la propriété et son parc.
D'être réveillé tous les matins à 6 heures par les propriétaires. L'emplacement des terrasses situés sous les fenêtres d'autres locataires. Grille pain hors fonction et four très sale que nous n'avons par ailleurs pas pu utiliser. Prix du gaz très cher si nous dépassons le quota attribué.

Toutes les villes environnantes, Lucca, Sienne, San Giminiano, et naturellement Florence. Gaiole est un très joli petit village et les commerçants sympathiques tout comme le restaurant Il Bandito ou nous avons très bien mangé. Les paysages de la Toscane sont magnifiques et le vin très bon.
