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.

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!

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.

Die Ausstattung insgesamt hat mir gut gefallen. Die Küchenaussatattung war sehr gut.
Die zentrale Lage, alles sehr gut erreichbar.
Die Schlafzimmer waren feucht, da sie im Soutairan liegen.
Die Empfehlung, das Haus zu heizen ist völlig inakzeptabel, da nicht die einzelnen Mieter für den Erhalt des Hauses zuständig sein können.
Zudem wäre es schön, wenn das Haus um eine Waschmaschine erweitert wird. Bei einem 3 wöchigen Aufenthalt, wäre es schön, könnte man einmal etwas durchwaschen und bei einem Preis von knapp 1000 Euro pro Woche, m.E. Auch Standard. WLAN zu teuer, da heute selbstvetändlich

CAsa Amore est situé face à l'unique restaurant-bar-épicerie du magnifique petit village de San Sano. Les enfants ont pu y manger des glaces et nous y boire notre café !!
La maison a une terrasse agréable quoique un peu sur le passage.
Pas de chance il a beaucoup plu cette semaine en toscane, et la maison Casa Amore est un peu enterrée, très sombre et humide.
Les douches n'ont pas de débit, et la literie assez moyenne.
La piscine était très sale le samedi de notre arrivée, et mon mari a du passer le filet. La personne chargée de la nettoyer n'est venue que le lundi.

The bedding and linen are supplied by a professional laundry company. The pool is cleaned twice a week by the property management - apologies that the cleanliness was not to standard - this may have been due to the rainy week.

Owner update: The problem with the pressure in the shower stems from too much calcium in the water and the very old municipal pipes that come from the Commune di Gaiole. New pipes are gradually being installed in the area.
In the meantime, the owner will ensure that the showerheads and faucet screens are treated more regularly. Thank you for informing us.

San Sano ist ein ruhiger beschaulicher Ort und ideal gelegen für Ausflüge in das Chianti Gebiet. Casa Amore hat 2 Schlafzimmer und 2 Bäder/Toiletten und die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet.
Das Restaurant Grotta della Rana direkt gegenüber ist wie immer sehr gut; auch das Resaturant Malborghetto in Lecchi ist sehr zu empfehlen. Sehr schön ist auch ein Ausflug zum Kloster Badia a Coltibuono bei Gaiole mit einem sehr guten Restaurant. Nicht vergessen den Chinati-Skulpturenpark, nur 20 min von San Sano (ein Park mit Skulpturen auf einem einige qm Waldgelände)

This medieval village is very popular with walkers and cyclists, surrounded as it is by pathways, which are ideal for early morning walks and bike rides.
