Monthly Rentals in Castelvecchi

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this centuries old farmhouse full of rustic charm. The property is situated in a lovely, quiet area making it convenient to visit the surrounding sites. Simonetta provided excellent recommendations for things to do and places to eat and made us feel at home. Giovanni provided an outstanding olive oil and wine tasting class which was the most informative I've ever had and I highly recommend it. They were both warm and friendly hosts who made us feel like family. Truly memorable!

We loved our time at La Balza - such a picturesque, peaceful and relaxing stay! Alessandro and his parents were a pleasure to deal with and answered all of my questions very quickly. They were very hospitable and accommodating. The area surrounding Radda in Chianti is absolutely beautiful and we loved the easy access to so many different cities and small villages. Would definitely recommend. A+

The stay at Paola’s place was great. It was clean, easy to get to by car, and has a small parking lot right next to the door. Everything was as described and Paola responded quickly. Would recommend! You should bring earplugs and be prepared for a slow internet connection. The WiFi is slow and sometimes breaks apart completely, while mobile service isn’t much better. So this is great for a digital detox.

Ill Casetto was beautiful. The space and the views were perfect for our family of 6. Everyone has their Owen bedroom with ensuite and there was ample room for another two people. The villa is perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need for a self contained vacation. We had some wonderful cook - ups in the kitchen. Francesco the caretaker was extremely friendly and very helpful no matter what the request - even assistance with a blown out car tyre and he speaks English very well - a lifesaver for us. You can walk to Volpaia ( albeit up quite a steep incline) - which has a couple of great restaurants with delicious Tuscan food and local wine. It’s a small , intimate town. Radda is bigger but equally intimate. Unfortunately you can not walk there from the villa - you need to drive. Radda is quite central to Tuscany which is great - but most places are a good 40 mins to and hour away so we did more driving than originally anticipated . A great stay and highly recommended
