Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Castellina in Chianti

We had an absolutely amazing time at Daniela’s place - it was clean, had stunning views and was quick access to Pisa, Florence & Siena. Beautiful pool and lovely terrace with amazing views and sunsets. The kitchen also had everything we needed, including local olive oil and pasta & local wine as a welcoming gift. Daniela went above and beyond providing us with lilos and a pump for the pool too. Overall, 10/10 stay!

My husband and I, plus our French Bulldog, had the pleasure of staying here for just over 3 weeks. Immediately felt like home, and host family had everything to do with that! Highly recommend. stunning views, fabulous location and some of the most gracious people I've ever met.

We spent an amazing six days at the property and loved our stay. The check in was very smooth and Fede met us on arrival and explained everything to us very clearly. Ale took over for the rest of our stay and could not have been more attentive. He helped organise a wine tasting for us and also arranged to have a chef come to the house to give us a cooking lesson and eat a delicious traditional Tuscan meal. One of our cars would not start one day and Ale even offered to take a leave of absence from work to try and come and help. He really went above and beyond to help with recommendations of places to visit, local restaurants etc. We loved the terrace area for enjoying breakfast and lunch and found the beds very comfortable. The living area was also nice and cool despite the high temperatures. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family. Altogether a great holiday in a beautiful part of the country.

Incredible stay and Bernardino and his family were incredibly welcoming and pleasant. They helped us check in later and were there to help us with any questions we had. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful Tuscan retreat.

Ilonka & Rob were wonderful hosts & the house was stellar. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - it was incredibly quiet & peaceful - away from the hustle & bustle yet close enough to enjoy several surrounding towns & villages as day trips or for evening dinners. Their home is charming, super clean, & stocked with everything we could possibly need. They even shared fresh fruits & vegetables from their personal garden which we incorporated into our meals when we cooked at home. We enjoyed some nice walks through the mountainside which offer beautiful views & solitude. (Thanks to our hosts for recommending!) We hope to be back when it is cooler - but we did enjoy the pool during the hot afternoons. Until then, we are grateful to have found this gem & for the kindness extended to us by Ilonka & Rob. They answered all our questions, provided helpful recommendations, & were generous with their time - available when needed & happy to socialize but always respecting guest privacy.

The house is located on Chianti which views to vineyard and olive yard, the most beautiful view for an airbnb. Everything is fully furnished, a lot of welcome foods and drinks. The hosts give clearly instruction and very responsive. It was a wonderful time spending our holiday there.

We loved our stay in Pietro’s beautiful, unique and historical place. The house is charming, well-equipped and spacious, the scenery and view are stunning, and the peace of the mountains is soothing. The drive up the mountains is an experience too! Communication with Pietro was easy, fast and kind.

Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful Airbnb which was thoughtfully restored to reflect the history of the area. You won’t want to leave. We explored Certaldo Alto and Montefioralle- both amazing sites. The pool area was perfection and we couldn’t get enough of the landscape! Couldn’t stayed a week!!!

We had an amazing week in the villa. Even if hou have other people living there, you feel so calm and free. There is a designated spot for each appartements to eat so you can enjoy good time outside. The site is so clean and we ser that the host take good care of everything. We had a lot of recommandations to discover te surroundings and the host was so easy to reach when we needed. All the commodities were there, the appartement is well equiped. I strongly suggest to rent a car, it’s the easiest way to enjoy your stay there. I surely recommand this place and I would go back again.

Sara was super helpful in accommodating us at different times, as we were a group of 7 people with different arrival times at the apartment. Cleanliness at the top and beautiful pool with super well-kept garden. The location is excellent for visiting the most beautiful villages in Tuscany!

Best place to stay!!! The charm of property draws you in immediately! A lovely garden, fresh flowers in the apartment, stunning views of San Gimignano. We loved the touches of old Italy everywhere (with the subtle inclusion of modern flair). And the little extras - a beautiful homemade tart welcomed us, as well as fresh fruit, juices, coffee and creamers and a few more fun surprises! Fabio and Alessandra are fabulous hosts - always answering any of our questions and having excellent advice on where to eat and things to do! The location is perfect for day trips to many of the Tuscan and Chianti region towns. And so lovely to come back to the charm of Fabio and Alessandra’s place. Grazie mille!!!

Clara was responsive and helpful. She was there to meet us and help us with parking and walked us through the entire house. She was wonderful. The space was perfect with a wonderful patio. Totally would recommend.

Top location, with excellent amenities. The view is beautiful and a big plus for the private cooking class! Don't hesitate, just book.

We enjoyed our stay at Francesco's place, the only downside was that we were a little to early to use the very beautiful pool, which we didn't expect. Francesco was busy cleaning the pool while we were there, and it is officially open for use only from June onwards. Fortunately we found a swimming spot at the river nearby, and other than the the place was great and Francesco was helpful and friendly.

This is Tuscany at its finest! Our stay at Casa Bonari was perfect. The villa inside was spacious, beautiful, comfortable, and wonderfully Italian. It was equipped with everything we needed. The exterior grounds were gorgeous and the views from the property in every direction were breathtaking. We made dinner and ate on the patio - it looked like a picture from a magazine. The villa is within easy walking distance of the charming Monticchiello which has a few excellent restaurants. We enjoyed strolling the picturesque streets and the incredible views of the countryside from the village. Our hostess, Valentina, was very gracious and helpful. We enjoyed meeting some of the friendly family members. They were so kind and left us with happy memories. We highly recommend Casa Bonari and hope to visit again.

Absolutely beautiful luxury home in the very heart of Arezzo overlooking the Grand Piazza. You could not ask for a more perfectly situated place to enjoy the town or a more picture postcard view out the dining room window. The entire apartment has been recently renovated and feels like a luxury hotel with modern design features, pristine everything, and integration of the beams/stones of the old medieval building. We absolutely loved our stay. Air Conditioning in every room, very comfortable beds, and a responsive host who helped us restart the (fast!) WiFi when it had a minor glitch one day. I was able to work part-time with the solid internet connectivity that many AirBnB homes don't have - but this one does! One thing to note is that the home is located in a ZTL so might be tricky to get a car close enough to drop lots of bags. We were on foot with roller bags so not a problem for us. Loved it and can't wait to visit again :)

We had a lovely stay — the villa is absolutely beautiful and we had a great time enjoying the space and surroundings. The location is also ideal, close to stunning towns like Pienza. A few improvement points: there was no proper coffee-making equipment, just a few filters; the fireplace hadn’t been cleaned and had no firelighters; and the air conditioning didn’t work in about half the rooms. Also, the check-in wasn’t smooth — the time was moved to 16:00, but the cleaners were still busy when all 14 of us arrived. With a bit more attention to these details, it could be a truly exceptional stay.

Our stay at Sonia’s place was like a week in a fairy tale. To stay in an 18th century home in Tuscany with the front door on the town square and the private rear terrace with a million dollar view was extraordinary. As for comforts & conveniences: There’s a parking space in the gated backyard, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen has lots of wine glasses. There’s also a well-stocked supermarket at the bottom of the backyard stairs. And if you see the food truck just below the center of town, be sure to stop for a sandwich. If you can get away from the terrace, Carolyn & Sonia recommended the restaurant Enoteca Baldi, and we do too.

Wow-10 days spent at Alec's villa and could have stayed longer! The age and beauty of this place makes you feel transported back in time. From the stone walls, the detailed wall paintings, furniture and decor, to the solid doors easily hundreds of years old... We spent hours just speaking of it's history. The house is clean, spacious, and had plenty of room for our family of 8. It is situated on a small family vineyard at the top of an incredibly windey road. There outdoor space was safe/secluded for my kids. The hill made for wonderful beautiful views and sunrise. However, as with much of Tuscany, we were glad our rental cars weren't too big! The closest town is 5 minutes away and has a few restaurants... Though not somewhere you can have coffee or walk the streets. About 15 minutes away is San Casciano where you can find coffee shops, restaurants, stores etc. Alec is a perfect host... helpful, responsive, and answered dozens of questions weekly. Book dinner at A Casa Mia for sure!

Beatrice was an amazing host. She was very responsive to our questions and always very helpful with suggestions and recommendations. This was the perfect place for our group of 8 adults for 2 weeks. The location was perfect for visiting various sites around Tuscany. Florence, Cortona, Siena and Pisa. The nearby town of Greve had some nice little restaurants for lunch/dinner. After a long day of sightseeing we would gather on the patio to have charcuterie and wine. Or gather at the family style dining table each evening. We highly recommend having Beatrice provide a home cooked meal, it was excellent! There are several wineries and olive oil tastings in the area. We took advantage of many of them. Overall we were very happy and very comfortable with our stay. We highly recommend staying here. If we ever come back we are definitely staying here again. You'll definitely get the true feel of Tuscany.

The house was exceptionally clean and located in a great area. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Perfect for anyone who enjoys cooking. I highly recommend staying here if it’s available, and I would definitely return if I get the chance.

Our stay with Marta and her family could not have been nicer. We felt absolutely comfortable from the first moment. The property is absolutely spacious, lovingly furnished, incredibly well maintained and run with love. Marta and her family are absolutely lovely and take care of their guests very nicely. All wishes are fulfilled. The pizza evening was wonderful and a successful conclusion to our stay. If you are looking for a dreamy, secluded Tuscan ambience and loving hosts, "Poggio del Fattore" is the right place for you.

The place was exactly as described, we had no issues. Simone was friendly and gave us some great recommendations on where to eat and wineries to visit. The only real challenge was the three point turns required on the street when there were cars parked on both sides of the street (lol) but that’s a me problem. Thank you again Simone for everything!

The home was located about 1/2 mile from several quaint small towns. Many great restaurants and tours through the beautiful hills and wine country. Very relaxing for family, friends or just to see you unwind by yourself. I highly recommend this location. Take advantage of tours arranged by Nicollo'and his family. We had a ball! Thank you.
