Capanna leopoldina is an independent cottage on two floors, located in a sloped garden at the top of the hamlet Rocca di Castellina. From the villa there are fantastic views of the Chianti and of Castellina in Chianti which lies across vineyards and olive groves slightly further up the hill.

Outside the villa is a huge stone paved terrace with incredible views of the olive groves and vineyards bordered by forests that surround this wonderful Tuscan villa.

Adult family group

Glenside, United States of America

Stay: May 2017

We had a wonderful time. Martina and her family are the most gracious hosts! The wine tour and tasting was fantastic, the various wines we enjoyed from the vineyard were excellent. The home has a great layout - bedrooms were huge, the kitchen was well stocked, and the patio was incredible. Sitting out there with a glass of wine in the evening was so relaxing. We had a private chef (Michaela from Il Fiasco) who cooked a delicious meal. The home is close to Castellina (quick drive - or a walk for the young and fit) which is a lovely town, and close enough for a quick drive to other hill towns and Florence and Sienna. It was a fantastic experience that we hope to repeat again soon!

We enjoyed the town of Castellina, as well as Sienna and San Gimignano.

Lovely villa within a vine yard, with stunning views across the valley.
Very spacious and great outside area.
The pool is a short walk down the lane, again with great views.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. They offer wine tasting onsite plus the wine and olive oil they produce is available to purchase.

Pizza restaurant at the top of the lane is very good.

Group of friends

Maybole, United Kingdom

Stay: July 2016

We were a group of seven who found the location breath taking and the villa well equipped and spacious. There were lots of kitchen items to use and many areas indoors and out of doors which gave the group lots of flexibility. The pool was well maintained and the family were extremely friendly and helpful towards us. The air conditioning was a bonus in the very hot weather.

The town of Castellina is small, attractive and relaxed - within easy walking distance of our villa. We also visited Siena; Florence; Monteriggioni and San Gimignano which were all delightful in different ways. The local restaurant 'Re Gallo', underneath the castle was very good, and provided real home-cooked specialities of the area.

Possibly the most beautiful place we've ever been to the views are to die for. The villa is very spacious and perfectly equipped. A short walk to the town centre which has supermarket. Shops . Cafe and restaurants. The host are amazing and will make you feel perfectly are home and help you with anything you may need. The wine they make on site is excellent. We would also like to recommend Andrea he is a personal chef which comes along to the villa and cooks up a beautiful feast and also tidys up after himself, the food he cooks was amazing (highly recommended)

Martina has a list of all the best restaurants in the area and we tried most of them and they were all lovely.
