Casa Amore is filled with light and space built into the side of a hill on the ground floor with all doors and windows opening out onto a large, multi-level garden terrace that overlooks the vineyards in the quaint village of San Sano. Casa Amore is located on the front side of a newly restored medieval building (about 12th century), now home to eight separate apartments.

The two bedroom, two bathroom villa has a large, fully equipped gourmet Tuscan kitchen with connecting dining and living rooms – a wonderful entertainment area for friends and family and plenty of room for everyone. The living room has a flat screen TV, DVD player and iPod/CD stereo. The winters are warmed with a wood-burning stove in the living room.

Locally made Tuscan tile flooring is throughout the villa, which creates a warm and comfortable environment. The bedrooms have beamed ceilings and thick walls from the original structure, which was meticulously maintained for its architectural integrity and beauty.

Each bedroom has French doors that open onto a nice view of the vineyard, which produces the local San Sano wine. The master bedroom has a double bed. The second bedroom is a twin and has an en suite bathroom. The two bathrooms are both fitted with showers.

The owners of Casa Amore are Americans, who share a love for their family and Italy. The husband’s grandfather was born in Southern Italy, and a loving tribute to him hangs in his photograph over the staircase.
High-speed wireless internet access available for an additional fee of 25 Euros per week. Please bring your own laptop.

The second bedroom can be converted into a double or twins if requested when booking.

Resort: San Sano

Savour the historic richness of San Sano while enjoying a relaxing day by the pool situated within the property’s private vineyards. Staying in the pristine village is a unique journey back into time when life was slow and passionate; and neighbours sat in their yards and sipped wine while watching the sunset.

The village of San Sano is a step back into thousands of years of history. With less than 100 residents, San Sano is nestled among the vineyard-covered rolling hills of Tuscany. Within the small village, is the property once owned by a local winemaker, and now fully restored into individual villas with every detail carefully monitored to ensure the structures remain authentic and untainted.

San Sano has one restaurant, a small grocery store, and an intimate church with Sunday morning services at 10. This medieval village is surrounded by walking paths, which are ideal for early morning walks and bike rides. The large pool is on the edge of the villas, adjacent to the vineyards. The pool, accessed by ladders, is 14 meters by 7 meters and has comfortable sunbeds in which to relax while catching up on reading. The pool is open from Easter through November.

San Sano has a rich history – just ask any local! They’ll tell you about the “boozy frog” fountain in the small park where neighbors gather throughout the day. Many years ago, a resident of San Sano was a contestant on a game show and told an outrageous tale about how the frogs in his village got drunk from drinking Chianti wine from the bottle. It was such a wild story that he won the contest and with his prize money, he bought the fountain for the community to enjoy.

The villas in San Sano are ideal for traveling couples who want to split their holiday time between wine tastings, relaxing around the pool, walks in the surrounding areas and taking day trips to other villages, and dining in all the great Tuscan local restaurants. One couple may want to explore, while the other couple stays at the villa.

San Sano is a short drive to dozens of charming villages, and the larger communities of Gaiole in Chianti, Radda and Siena. It has everything anyone could imagine to capture the true Tuscan experience.
A parking area is available for guests use.

Nous avons séjourné une semaine en famille avec de jeunes enfants à San Sano et le séjour s'est très bien passé. La maison est pratique et bien équipée, le lieu est vraiment sympathique, San Sano est un hameau très bien situé dans un environnement charmant très calme à proximité de nombreuses activités.

Nous avons bien aimé les randonnées dans le Chianti avec des décorts époustouflant. Un travail de repérage avec une carte gratuite est distribué à l'office de tourisme de Gaiole. Nous avons fait avec les enfants celle au départ de San Sano qui est super, et il existe une dizaine d'autres circuits dans les environs. Pour les visites, nous recommandons le château de Brolio à 5 km et de faire de l'oenotourisme dans le Chianti, avec de très beaux domaines viticoles: Castello di Meleto, Castello di Ama, tout ceci dans un rayon de 15km.

Aangenaam verblijf in een mooi vakantiecomplex. Prachtige omgeving om tot rust te komen. Gemeenschappelijke accommodaties voldeden ruim aan de verwachtingen (parking, zwembad, ...).
In de regio zijn vele mooie uitstappen mogelijk (Siena, San Gimignano, Firenze, Volterra, ...).
Zeer gerieflijke woning met enige kleine tekortkomingen die gemeld werden maar zeker geen probleem voor een aangenaam verblijf vormden.

Das Haus ist schön gelegen. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Das Schlafzimmer ist leider sehr feucht und riecht etwas muffig, da es im Untergeschoss liegt, ist aber sicherlich der Lage zu schulden. Ein Badezimmer hat keine ausreichende Belüftung oder ein Fenster und ist darum auch etwas feucht.
Sonst war es ein rundum gelungener Urlaub in einer sehr schönen Umgebung.Die Buchung und dei Begrüßung völlig preblemlos und entspannt.

Zu empfehlen in der Umgebung ist auf jedenfall Siena und die vielen Schlösser in der Umgebung mit Weinproben.Das Restaurant gegenüber der Anlage fanden wir nicht so empfehlendswert, hier ist sicherlich aber der Geschmack jedes einezelnen gefragt. Florenz ist einen Ausflug wert , denkt an die entsprechend Kleidung für Kirchen , sonst war der Weg umsonst.. zumindest, wenn man den Dom von innen sehen möchte.

Thank you for your review. The owner apologises that you felt the house was damp and musty. Casa Amore is a restoration of a medieval structure...it was built into the side of a hill to deliberately keep the rooms cool during the summer months. The house is aired prior to each arrival and the mustiness normally lifts. The property management would happily have helped with this if it had been reported.

Had a great time here. My only complaint was the pillows weren’t to my liking!!!!!

Also, if you want to eat in the restaurant on the day of arrival you will need to book!

Siena, San Gimignano, Florence all worth the trip.

Urocze miasteczko, bardzo zadbany kompleks domkow i blisko do atrakcji rejonu Chianti. Sklepik i restauracja na miejscu. Domek przyjazny, wygodny i dobrze wyposazony. Polecam z czystym sumieniem.

La grotta della rana na miejscu, Malborghetto w Lecchi i Castello Brolio, rowniez jako atrakcja i sklep z winem. Atrakcje - Siena, Florencja, San Gimignano, Castello di Ama. San Sano rowniez jest bardzo urocze.
