Casa Dante at San Donato in Perano

Le hameau San Donato est un lieu magique , calme , trés apaisant avec un paysage magnifique sur les collines du Chianti , les vignes, les oliviers. De la piscine , chauffée la vue est superbe. La maison est belle, bien rénovée, confortable , avec une wifi qui marche très bien.Elle est fraiche d'ailleurs avec le petit vent sur la colline Il fait bon.
Après les visites très appréciable!
Nous sommes enchantés de ce séjour.

-Radda trés joli village toujours animé -Castello di Ama, on peut y déjeuner dans un trés beau cadre, déguster le chianti et voir les magnifiques piéces d'art contemporain , en particulier le Buren -Arezzo, les fresques mais aussi la video reflets de Piero de la Francesca dans la galerie d'art contemporain et bien sûr Sienne, san Gemignano etc

Schönes Ferienhaus in toller Lage, angenehm ruhig, aber viele Ausflugsziele sind schnell zu erreichen, der Pool ist wunderbar gelegen, sauber und hat eine fantastische Aussicht, wir haben uns sehr gut erholt

Tre Gallo a Castellina Il Carlino d'oro à San Regalo

Dit prachtige complex ligt midden in de Chianti streek dichtbij Radda. Alle steden en bezienswaardigheden zijn goed en doorgaans binnen 45 minuten bereikbaar. Casa Dante was een perfecte bestemming, super schoon, goed ingericht en een prachtig mooi verwarmd zwembad, een absolute aanrader en het beste wat wij tot nu toe bij To Toscane hebben geboekt.

Op ca. 25 minuten ligt het wijn Landgoed Terrabianca bij het plaatsje Vagliagli, je wordt daar zo hartelijk ontvangen en zonder pardon wordt er direct een wijnproeverij georganiseerd. Wij hadden dit wijnhuis al eerder bezocht en ook nu hebben we weer prachtige wijnen en oliën meegenomen. Bezoek het familie restaurant in San Sano, top eten en een stuk goedkoper.

The Villa was in a great location and the checkin and checkout was very easy. Also the apartment had everything we needed.
The only thing was the kettle leaked and that the washing machine and dryer were located on the top level this may be hard for elderly people to get to.

Osteria del Castello

The setting was beautiful. Natalia was very helpful in settling you into the Villa. The Villa was perfect. The standard of equipment was extremely good and everything was spotless. The Villa has a lovely layout. The Pool area was perfect and the view from the Pool area was amazing. I would recommend that you watch the sun set from the patio at the front of the Villa with a nice glass of local wine!!!

Radda in Chianti is well worth exploring. Claudio's lasagne at Vertine is a Must. Gaiole in Chianti is also well worth visiting. Both the local villages have a selection of restaurants and both villages have shops and supermarkets

Casa Dante ist eine sehr schöne Anlage in sehr ruhiger Lage mit einem grandiosen Blick auf Weinberge und Olivenbäume. Die Ferienwohnung entsprach in allen Belangen unseren Erwartungen und war sehr gut eingerichtet. Der Poolbereich war optimal gelegen und topsauber. Hier kann man wirklich mal abschalten.

Great location nearby the small hamlet of Vertine and the town of Radda.
Spacious 2 bedroomed, 2 bathroom villa, in secure surroundings.
Fantastic pool, which was well maintained.
Friendly check in despite our late arrival.
Fast wifi
The driving instructions should say that there is an electric gate and you can only get let in by the key holder.
There are a lot steps, between each room.
If you English hoping for TV, there is only BBC World and Sky News in English- we had to use a VPN to watch any English TV on an iPad.
We were a family of 4, don't think there is enough kitchen equipment or seating for 5.
The Osteria on site had obviously been closed for some time, yet still appears on the website- very misleading!

We thought Radda was much better than the similarly close Giaole- it has a great deli and good choice of restaurants. If travelling to Florence, get the the train for Montevarchi. Nearest big supermarket was in Montevarchi, there is a smaller one outside Radda.

Die Ruhe, der Ausblick, perfekter Pool

Siena

We are repeat visitors, having stayed in late July 2013 during the heatwave. We loved it for all the same reasons this time, and you can see the prior review. In summary, the location, grounds and views, the huge , well equipped and immaculate pool area, the lovely nearbv town of Radda. the country walks, easy drives to other nearby towns (Pienza, Sienna, Montepulciano)...

It was really nice to exchange email and meet Natalia again. She is the best and nicest property manager you could hope for! She is so responsive and helpful day or night!

It's a wonderfull little house and really well maintained and clean. Everything works - the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms spacious, etc. etc.

The only thing is that the furniture in the living/dining room is quite bleak, hard, and uninviting. There are two small two-seater couches which are not that comfortable, a small coffee table, and in the dining area a simple expandable table and chairs. There's very little to soften it up. It would make an enormous difference to the ambience and enjoyment of the living room if they could add a rug or two, a nice armchair and large couch or L-shaped couch.

One minor thing is that the kitchen seems great at first look, but in fact, it has little usable counter space and has few pans etc. I noticed that the fridge has a broken shelf in the door which is how it was in 2013.

But, we will still return even if they don't change it, I'm sure!

Fabulous location. Natalia is lovely and very helpful at check-in. The walks on the "white road" directly from the property are an unexpected treat. Stunning views. And the utter quiet at night, the stars, the birds in the morning. Very beautiful, an ideal Tuscany getaway.
I agree with everyone else about the kitchen needing some upgrading. Seating in the living room could be more commodious as well.

Le Contrade in Vinci: delicious, and a lovely sunset. The outdoor market in Radda. The little bar in Vertine. Badia a Coltibuono, and all the wineries in the area. The so-called hamburger place in Panzano. The sculpture garden south of Gaiole. We meant to spend time in Florence, but when you look closely, there is so much to do and see, and so many fabulous restaurants and wineries in the surrounding area, that a visit to Siena and the rest of the time in the Tuscany countryside fills the week quickly!
