Uva at Ceperano, Radda in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

Would you like to translate?

Uva ist eine Wohnung in einem sehr schönen Agritourismus nahe Radda, Die Eigentümerfamilie ist sehr herzlich und macht fast alles möglich. Die Einrichtung selbst ist eher einfach aber vollständig. Einzig eine fehlende Klimaanlage macht die Nächte bei hohen Aussentemperaturen etwas warm.
Ein schöner Pool rundet das Angebot ab.

- Bar Ucci in Volpaia - Osteria Rufigio del Chianti in Badia a Montemuro - Pizzaria Pie in Radda

Generally a good holiday with good accommodation but could benefit from some small improvements such as better cutlery and equipment in the house. Also better location of mirrors. The swimming pool area was lovely with good natural shade and great views but could do with more quality/comfortable sunbeds, at times there was insufficient for the number of guests. We did however have a lovely holiday, fantastic views and very relaxing. Really appreciated the weekly offering of cake and pizza from the owners, this was a lovely touch. One big advantage was being able to walk into the town albeit up a steep hill. Radda, itself exceeded expectations, a beautiful small town with some really good restaurants.

All restaurants were good, particularly enjoyed La Perla, food was good and dinning outside in the garden was lovely. For a special meal La Botte di Bacco was really good. For value for money La Dante was good. Everywhere provided a very good and friendly service..

Best ruim huisje voor personen. Kleinere badkamer maar heel praktisch ingericht; Goede service met handdoeken, setje shampoo etc en zelf tandenborsteltjes.... evenals vaatdoeken, en tabletten... alles was voorzien. Centraal gelegen, veel uitstappen mogelijk. De dochter / tevens sleutelbewaarder is zeer vriendelijk. Minder is dat haar hondjes regelmatig blaffen en ook ochtenden dat er met een klein kraantje gewerkt werd tussen de mooie olijfgaard / wijngaard wat een paar uur voor knarsend geluid zorgden gedurende of ochtenden. Radda is mooi dorpje. Vespaverhuur, autoverhuur, verhuur elektrische fietsen, restaurantjes, supermarkt, bakker, …. Het huisje is extreem mooi gelegen en dicht bij al wat je nodig hebt. Zeer vriendelijke concierge. Alles prima dus. Een aanrader.

Siena op min, Firenze om min, Kleine mooie dorpjes tussen de en de minuten, Volterrra is te doen, San Gimaniano, San Filippo( thermaalbaden), Arezzo waar de film La Vita e bella is opgenomen is op minuten rijden, …. Veel restaurantjes in de buurt.

Bardzo dobrze zlokalizowany apartament. Świetna baza wypadowa do zwiedzania regionu. Apartament przestronny, czysty, z pięknymi widokami. Jedyny mankament (choć niekoniecznie) to basen oddalony o ok. 300 metrów, ale widoki podczas spaceru wynagradzają wszystko. Można korzystać z ogrodu prowadzonego przez właścicieli, którzy są bardzo sympatyczni.

Do Raddy in Chianti jest parę minut samochodem, a tam znajdziemy doskonałe lodziarnie oraz kilka restauracji.

Können diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen, wurden sehr herzlich bei der Familie Ceperano aufgenommen und abolut verwöhnt mit dem tolem Gemüsegarten , Wein, Kuchen und vieles mehr, wer die Ruhe mag und entspannen möchte ein Traum

Sara was always helpful and cheerful. She would turn up with treats - cake and a savoury tart which were lovely. There was a vegetable garden and the produce was for the guests, the fresh salad ingredients were much appreciated.
The property sits in a bowl with hills all around, sitting on the terrace in the absolute peace and quiet was wonderful. It is a working farm and it was interesting watching the work on the vines. Radda is a very nice little town with a variety of bars and restaurants.
I have no hesitation in recommending this holiday accommodation.

Siena, San Gimigniano, Volterra were all lovely. Watching otters play in the river was a treat.

Accueil très sympathique des propriétaires ; nous avons apprécié leurs attentions (légumes du jardin, gâteau). Excellent emplacement pour découvrir le Chianti.

Une propriété viticole au coeur du chianti, un site magnifique au milieu des vignes, des oliviers et des cyprès...la toscane de carte postale...au pied du petit village ravissant de Radda in chianti. La piscine est un peu écartée de l'hébergement, ce qui est très bien quand les baigneurs sont des enfants un peu bruyants. Sarah et Caterina sont aux petits soins et laissent tomates du jardin (qu'on peut aller cueillir), gateau ou quiche de temps à autre.Il y a un petit supermarché à Radda. On est à équidistance de florence et de sienne, pas très loin d'Arezzo et de san giminiano...l'endroit idéal pour explorer le chianti, les crete senesi, le val d'orcia...la toscane qui fait rêver.

Nous avons passé 2 semaines magnifiques à Ceperano. L'endroit est vraiment très calme ( au milieu des vignes et des oliviers ) et très agréable. Nous avons pu prendre tous nos repas sur la terrasse où nous profitions d'une vue splendide sur la campagne environnante. La piscine se trouve dans un petit jardin très joli et nos 2 ados en ont bien profité !

Nous avons visité Sienne, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Radda, Castellina in Chianti, sans compter plusieurs petits villages ... et nous sommes allés sur de petits marchés comme à Greve in Chianti. Nous avons également visité un château et goûté le fameux Chianti, sans oublier les délicieuses gelati ! Nous sommes allés au restaurant à Volpaia ( à 5 km ) à la Bottega où nous avons soupé sur la terrasse sous les platanes avec une vue imprenable sur la vallée. La maison est bien située et il y a assez bien de choses à voir sans faire de trop longs déplacements. Le village est proche et dispose de plusieurs magasins où l'on peut trouver tout ce qu'il faut.

Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.
Nette Vermieter.

Nous avons passé d'excellentes vances à UVA à Ceperano. Nous avons apprécié le calme de la location, le confort du gîte et l'excellent acceuil de la famille SOLDANI. La location est parfaitement équipée pour un séjour de 4 personnes, nous avons pu bénéficier de la Wifi et de la piscine, parfait pour nos deux adolescents. La location est parfaitement située, entre Sienne et Florence, et beaucoup de beaux villages alentours à visiter (Volpaia, San Gimignano, Greve in Chianti...) L'accès à pieds au village est assez pratique mais reste difficile en raison du fort dénivelé.

Agréable visite de SIENNE, et FLORENCE. Très beau village de VOLPAIA à 6km et petit restaurant très sympa "La Bottega"

We have now stayed here one week and truly love the place! The view is so beautiful and even though you stay surrounded by vineyards you only need to walk 5 minutes up the vineyards and then you are in Radda. We have seen a wild boar and its small pigs one evening walking done to the house. The family is very nice and we feel very welcomed. We send our highest recommendation and would love to come back. Thank you! Br family Bille

La Villa est située en plein coeur du paysage toscan comme on se l'imagine: vignes, oliviers, collines... Il est très agréable de diner sur la terrasse dans cette athmosphère totalement relaxante! La villa est spacieuse et confortable. Il y a des mousticaires au fenêtre, un grand avantage puisqu'il n'y a pas de climatisation.

La propriétaire haite sur les lieux, ce qui facilite grandement les choses en cas de besoin. Elle est très aimable et disponible, toujour prête à rendre service.

La villa est située à proximité du sympathique village de Radda. Il est possible de s'y rendre à pieds par un sentier à flanc de colline (15 minutes). On y retrouve une excellente boucherie et des commerces vendanttoutes sortes de produits locaux de qualité.

Uns hat eigentlich alles gefallen, das Haus, die Lage, die Vermieter und die Gastfreundlichkeit waren überragend. Es ist uns sehr schwer gefallen, wieder abzureisen!

Radda, Siena, Montereggione und Volpaia (tolles altes Weingut mit dem sehr guten Restaurant La Botega!), Montalcino, Montepulciano

The view, the pool, the position in the middle of the vineyards

Radda, Monteriggioni, Via Francigena, Ice cream shop in Castellina

Piękna willa, baaardzo blisko miasteczka gdzie można zrobić zakupy. Niezwykle włoska (w najlepszym tego słowa znaczeniu), miła i pomocna.

Ważne by wybierając willę w Toskanii zwrócić uwagę na lokalizację. Jeśli marzysz o tym by uciec od świata, to Uve w Ceperano będzie idealne, ale jeśli chciałbyś wieczorem znaleźć się w miejscowości która żyje, to powinieneś szukać czegoś bliżej Sieny.

Pizza Pie, widoki i wycieczki rowerowe. Zwiedzanie miast oddalonych o godzinę drogi od Rady.

Lage, Aussicht, kurze Entfernung zu Radda.

Die Anordnung des Wohn-Eßzimmers. Schöner wäre es, wenn man eine gemütliche Sitzecke hätte, statt des großen Tisches in der Mitte mit den Sofas drumherum. Falls man wirklich mal Fernsehen schauen möchte, ist das Gerät doch ein wenig klein.

In Radda die Bar "Dante", In Volpaia "Bar Ucci" und Ristorante "La Bottega". Schöne Lage und gutes Essen. Freitag Markt in Colle die Val Delsa, ein netter Ort zum Bummeln. Und ein ausgezeichneter Co op Supermarkt. Nicht zu vergleichen mit dem unübersichtlichen und nicht gut sortierten Supermarkt in Radda!

Cafe Dante Allergri,

We chose UVA because of the location,walkable to Radda in Chianti.The apartment is situated at the bottom of a very steep hill walk up to Radda and the temperatures were in the 30's making it heavy going walking up to dinner.
Sara the owner was very helpful and friendly with lots of tips on directions around the area.
It is also situated very near to visit Siena,25 minute easy drive.

Lack of sun loungers at the property.The pool is a 300 metre walk away from the apartment with only four sun loungers available.the other apartment took all four so there were only chairs left,not ideal to sunbathe on.
If there had been two loungers for each apartment on the private patio that would have been better.The kettle didn't work.The Mosquitos bites were a nightmare!
If the apartment Gisole is occupied you can hear every thing they say as there is an interconnecting door which could do with double doors on to minimise this.

La Bottega at Volpaia(7km) was by far our favourite restaurant for the ambience and delicious food especially at lunch time.It is very busy so arrive early. We were disappointed with the Radda in Chianti restaurants,as they were very touristy with some over the top prices for the standard of food. Visit Cortona ,Volterra and Montepulcino all pretty medieval towns.

Location, location, location... as they say. The setting around Uva is idyllic. Waking up each morning to look out over the rolling hills of vineyards was fantastic. The terrace is ideally positioned to take in morning & afternoon sun, and a few glasses of Chianti Classico later on. Rooms are large, and everything in the apartment worked. It was also very clean. Owners are friendly and helpfull. Ceperano is very neat/ well kept.

Can't think of anything really, it was all good. The pool wasn't open but that was due to the inclement weather. We didn't attempt the steep walk up to Radda as the field had been ploughed and was muddy (again, the weather).

Pizza Pie in town was excellent - we ate there 4 times in a week. Owner & his family / staff very friendly. Monster size pizzas. Also went to San Sano - excellent meal at La Grotta della Rana. Passed through (& stopped for drinks in) Castellina in Chianti twice, nice little town. Also definitely worth visting San Gimignano. Top place for lunch - Bar dell'Orso in Monterrigioni - great value but get there early as the staff start disappearing later on.

The location of Uva at Ceperano in the centre of a family run vineyard was just idyllic. The accomodation was much larger than we expected with a large terrace for eating outside, enjoying the views and listening to the birdlife. We won't forget the "Chianti Cuckoo" which was on the go morning to evening!! A real bonus was whilst being in a rural location a steep climb from the back of the property took you up into Radda in Chianti. (Thank you to previous reviewers for recommending a torch!) Radda is a lovely village oozing with character and some lovely restaurants. The family who own Ceperano were charming, nearby but not intrusive in the slightest. All but one of the other properties were empty which was another bonus as it made the environment even more peaceful.
We would definitely return.

The other couple at Ceperano were in an adjoining property to Uva. The 2 properties were separated by a door so we could hear them in the kitchen quite clearly at that point. This was no problem elsewhere as the walls were pretty thick.

In Radda we would recommend Il Forchettas restaurant. The ravioli was stupendous. The tiny hillside village of Volpaia was our favourite, with Bar Ucci being just the place to have coffee or lunch and feel totally relaxed in this little place that hasn't changed for 100's of years. Siena was just beautiful. We went on a Sunday and it was surprisingly uncrowded. It was the feast of St Catherine the patron saint of Siena so we were treated to citizens dressed in medieval costume parading with bands and flags throughout the city. The cathedral is mind blowing. Florence was lovely but the crowds spoilt it even though it was only April. The Uffizi though is a must and should be booked in advance on the internet. Exploring the Chianti region with all its historic villages and beautiful country side is just a delight in itself. We found the roads virtually empty apart from April 25th - Liberation Day which was a public holiday. No problem - we found ourselves celebrating with the Italians at a festival in Panzano in Chianti. This time a medieval pageant and parade complete with horses and oxen - it was also a festival hoping for a good crop of grapes for the Chianti wine.
