La Torre Vecchia at Vignale

La Torre Vecchia is a fantastic villa in an idyllic setting. Fantastic size and extremely well equipped - we could have catered for a party is we'd needed to. It's a bonus to have such a comfortable lounge - there are plenty of outside seating areas but it was nice to be able to sit comfortably inside & escape from the mosquitos on an evening. The villa even has a good selection of DVD's so you can switch off with a film if you want to. We didn't have any problem at all getting to the villa - the track is easy to navigate when you get used to it, even at night. If you drive in or out at dusk you will be sure to see deer and wild boar in the fields or trees along the road. The pool was fabulous & has the most amazing view. The only downside on what was a hot week was the ineffective air conditioning in the bedrooms - we found a fan so that provided a little bit of a breeze. Remember you are in the middle of the countryside so go well equipped if you are afraid of wasps, hornets etc - we found the smoking coils effective when we were outside or by the pool. A fantastic week - so relaxing and such a luxurious and well equipped villa. Would definitely recommend and would visit again if in the area.

Sienna is only a 25 min drive away - car parks outside the city wall make it easy to park. Also go here for the huge Co-op supermarket - directions can be found in the villa's information folder. Restaurants - don't miss La Grotta della Rana in San Sano and also Ristorante Malborghetto in Lecchi. Can also recommend visiting Radda, San Gimignano and Cortona.

Beautiful location. Fittings of a high standard, not just a basic holiday rental. Kids loved the nature walkways surrounding the villas. Good base for exploring the region and good local information and advice.

Gelato in castellina!

Spacious and well equipped accommodation for 4 adults. Wonderfully quiet location with spectacular views of the surrounding Chianti hills.
Covered balcony was a big plus particularly as the evenings were becoming more autumnal during our stay.
OK so the track upto to Vignale is a little tricky but not that bad really once you get used to it, we managed perfectly well in a VW Touran.

The deli in Radda in Chianti kept us well fed for a fortnight!

The house itself was very well equipped with every modern convenience. The beds were comfortable and the linen clean. The shower was hot and there was also a great bath. There was plenty of space and the views were fantastic. Of it's kind it was the best of these type of houses that I have ever stayed in.
It is up a very long unmade-up road with some sharp bends. I have done several of these lets before but this was the most remote. it is also a long way from Florence, San Giminagno and Castalina. However, it is close to Sienna and some pretty villages and there were plenty of good restaurants.
The pool is beautiful and for us it was fine as we were the only people staying as it was mid September. However, with full occupancy it would be very crowded.

Sienna, the restaurants in San Sano and in Lecchi, can't remember the names. We also went to the Castello di Spaltena, which is very smart but also very expensive. My favourite city in the world is Florence with its multiple attractions, but it is not easily accessible.

Everything, the Villa is amazing, actually perfect.

We will be back next year.
Having to leave

The restaurant in San Sano for me The Prada outlet shop in Montivarchi for my girlfriend

The stunning location,its proximity to a number of beautiful places to visit. and the warm evenings on the terrace.
Mosquito bites, the ineffective air conditioning in the bedrooms which meant the nights were very hot and the shenanigans of guests staying in the Borgo who covered all available sun beds round the pool in towels at the crack of dawn each day.

The Malborghetto restaurant in Lecci was sensational. I strongly recommend taking a cooking class with the propritor , Simoene. It was the highlight of our week.

Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, es fehlt an nichts, die Lage ist phänomenal
man hat eine tolle Aussicht,
die Wlan Verbindung war extrem langsam

Wir waren eine Gruppe von 13 Personen (Freunde und Familienangehörige, alles Erwachsene) die in den 3 Häusern La Torre Vecchia, Malvasia und Pinot Bianco eine Woche verbracht haben.
Es gab einen runden Geburtstag zu feiern und die Woche war rundum gelungen.
Alle waren mit ihrer Unterkunft sehr zufrieden.
Wir selbst waren nun schon zum wiederholten Male im Vignale, viermal allein schon im La Torre Vecchia.
Es hat uns, wie immer, sehr gut gefallen.
Die Häuser sind sehr komfortabel und hochwertig eingerichtet.
Vor allem La Torre Vecchia und Pinot Bianco sind sehr geräumig und bieten viel Platz.
Malvasia ist etwas kleiner, aber ebenfalls mit schönen, komfortablen Bädern und einer gut ausgestatteten Küche versehen.

Alles in allem war es eine wunderbare Woche, die alle Anwesenden sehr genossen haben.
Die Lage ist einmalig, die Aussicht immer wieder überwältigend und die ganze Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, sauber und gut unterhalten.


Und gefällt alles hier.
Auch die Anfahrt ist in weit besserem Zustand als in früheren Jahren.
Für uns gibt es nichts, was zu kritisieren ist.

La beauté et la quiétude des lieux, près de nombreux petits villages et de vignobles. De plus, Sienne n'est qu'à 20 minutes

Belle maison, belle prestation, maison très bien équipée notamment la cuisine, magnifique site bien entretenu et magnifique vue. Literie confortable.
L'accès (3km de chemin non goudronné) est difficilement praticable avec certaines voitures.
La piscine est un peu fraîche.
