Resort: Pretaccione
Podere Pretaccione, 1000 year old, was once the home of itinerant priests. Located in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, Pretaccione provides a restful, rural setting just 20 minutes from historic Siena. The main building has been carefully restored into eight spacious apartments, each comfortably furnished in keeping with the terracotta floors, stone archways and beamed ceilings. A large swimming pool and tennis court with garden furniture are set on a lawned terrace just below the farmhouse. The ancient stone patios provide expansive views of the Arbie River as it winds through the valley toward Siena.
The houses all have private gardens with terraces furnished with tables and chairs for al fresco eating. The pretty village of San Sano, 4km away, boasts an excellent country style restaurant and a small grocery store with a bar.
Pretaccione is on the property of the Dievole Winery and spa, a short drive or a healthy walk up a country road. Visitors are always welcome for wine tastings and special dinners at the winery.

Stay: August 2017
Prachtige locatie, goed zwembad. Het appartement viel ons tegen. Badkamers, slaapkamers en ruimte prima (helaas geen airco in periode 40+ graden). De verwachting tav faciliteiten als koffiezetapparaat(klein en kapot), Stereo (echt een kinderapparaat met zeer slecht geluid, niet gebruikt) vielen tegen. Het appartement is niet neutraal ingericht en staat vol mat "bric en brac" van de eigenaar. Ook het prive tuintje was niet erg verzorgd, onkruid stond hoog. Al met al
Siena!!

Leuk huisje, mooie zwembad en tennisbaan. Ligging heel prettig qua rust, maar wel ver rijden voordat je "ergens" bent.
Restaurant in Lecchi was zeker favoriet!

Family with young children
Stay: August 2016
We had a wonderful week-long stay at La Vecchia Stalla with our young children (2 and 5). On the plus side, the accommodation was very comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped (although the toaster was broken and we would have benefited from a freezer), and because there is a gated entrance, we felt comfortable with our little one running around the outdoor terrace! We got lots of use out of the beautifully clean pool and tennis court. The villa is nicely situated in the heart of Chianti and one can visit many pretty towns and villages within 20 - 60 minutes driving time. Only drawback was the villa was hard to locate on our sat nav and we found ourselves getting lost before calling for assistance. I would also recommend getting a 4x4 rather than the small hire car we had, as the villa is situated on a rocky, gravel road. We did drive in the evenings as well, but the dark, windy roads are not for the faint-hearted! We spotted lots of wildlife too - from lizards and locusts to deer, hare and wild boar in this picturesque location.
We really loved visiting Siena and Montepulciano, though beware of the steep hills if you a pram! Many restaurants were child-friendly and happy to prepare a dish off the menu for our youngsters.

OWNER COMMENT: Thank you for the positive comments. I apologize for the inconvenience of the broken toaster - that has already been replaced. I will also provide a small freezer. Again thank you for your comments and suggestions.

Le calme, la situation à côté des vignes sacrées, la décoration de la Villa et les services proposés.
Le petit village de Lecchi, avec restaurant, café et petite cascade pour se baigner. La proximité de Sienne, ville à découvrir absolument.

l'environnement est magnifique. le hameau très calme et charmant, très belle vue sur les vignes, le logement très bien équipé.
une seule chaine de TV en langue française. les derniers 100 m avant d'arriver au hameau par une route de terre, sont très dificilles puisque trop caillouteux.

My husband didn't like driving down the unmade track each time we went out or came home.

Food in Italy is wonderful and in this area it was superb. My favourite was the restaurant in San Sano. The rest of the family enjoyed the food at Rada in Chianti more.
