Le Volte, Casanuova di Ama - Gaiole in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

3 bedrooms 5 bathrooms 6 guests Private Pool 5 - Superb - Superb 5

What a delicious villa! It’s no surprise that Le Volte, set in a hamlet in the heart of Chianti’s hills, gets a very high ranking from previous guests. Inside, it is distinctively furnished, with a smattering of antiques, oriental rugs and cosy armchairs. Immediately outside, you have a delightful courtyard – a lovely place for breakfasts. While a brief walk away lies an immaculately landscaped piece of heaven: an exclusive terraced garden with private, magical infinity pool, pool house and no fewer than three furnished terraces looking out over a perfect slice of Tuscan olive groves, vineyards and wooded hills.

The three bedrooms and plentiful bathrooms will suit groups of up to six friends or family. You are well-located here for exploring this famous wine-making region – Gaiole, Radda and Castellina are short drives away – and Siena, San Gimignano and Florence are easily accessible for day trips. But you will want to spend a lot of time being a sun lizard on the terraces around your lovely pool. The sunsets from the pool area are wonderful.

There’s no doubt this is a special place into which a lot of care has been poured. Everything has been well made and where else will you find, a well-equipped gym with yoga mats (in the pool house), huge, adjustable sun shades (on the terraces), and a saltwater infinity pool with gorgeous rural views? This area has some fabulous local trattorias, including in your nearest small town, Lecchi, but al-fresco dinner on the terrace outside your exclusive pool house will be hard to beat.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Le Volte sehr genossen. Der Pool und das dazugehörige Poolhaus sind sehr modern und in sehr gutem Zustand - zudem direkt in einem Olivenhain gelegen, was sehr schön war. Auch die Aufmerksamkeit der Betreuerin vor Ort und den Putzservice haben wir sehr genossen.

Nicht ganz überzeugt hat uns hingegen die Ausstattung der Küchen (nur zwei kleine, portable Öfen, wenig Arbeitsflächen) und die Qualität der Einrichtung im oben gelegenen Wohnhaus. Auch wenn die rustikale Einrichtung sehr gut ins Chiantigebiet passt, so sind die Möbel doch schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen und etwas muffig. Dass wir am Ende des Aufenthalts noch den kompletten Strom (zu einem stolzen Preis) bezahlen mussten, war für uns in der Preisklasse dann doch recht lächerlich.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen - würden das Le Volte aber nicht noch einmal buchen.
Local attractions Das Restaurant Malborghetto in Lecchi in Chianti - unbedingt reservieren! Ansonsten lohnt sich sicher ein Ausflug nach Siena, Radda oder auf verschiedene Weingüter.

Wir danken Ihnen für das freundliche Feedback und freuen uns zu hören, dass Sie viele Aspekte Ihres Aufenthalts in Le Volte genossen haben - einschließlich des modernen Pools, der traumhaften Umgebung sowie des fürsorglichen Pflege- und Reinigungsdienstes. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie von der Küchenausstattung und einigen Einrichtungsgegenständen enttäuscht waren, wie Sie aber bereits erwähnt haben, kann der typische Einrichtungsstil im Chianti etwas rustikaler sein. Dennoch werden die sorgfältig ausgewählten Einrichtungsstücke von unserem Team vor Ort sorgfältig gepflegt. Bezüglich der Stromkosten möchten wir erwähnen, dass der Betrag hauptsächlich für die Kurtaxe und nicht für den Strom berechnet wurde. Es gab auch eine kleine Gebühr für die Klimaanlage, wie auf unserer Website beschrieben. Wir schätzen Ihre Eindrücke wirklich sehr und werden es nutzen, um Verbesserungen vorzunehmen. Natürlich hoffen wir, Sie in der Toskana wiederzusehen.
