Tuscan Estate - Le Valle 12 Miles fra Firenze

Ejendommen ligger kun 12 miles fra centrum af Firenze og fra det øjeblik du går gennem jern gates, du vil føle som om du har indtastet en anden verden som tiden står stille. Beliggende i de grønne bakker i uberørt Chianti landskab ligger Le Valle, en 16th Century Casa Colonica. Mange århundreder siden var det en gård og vagttårn for den nærliggende Castello Mugnana. Pragtfuldt restaurerede 4 år siden ejerne betalt udsøgte opmærksomhed på alle detaljer. Møbleret med 18. århundrede Land franske antikviteter, lysekrone lyser overalt, og pyntet med de europæiske tekstiler og tilbehør, vil dette hjem straks tage din ånde væk og gøre dig føle omsluttet af varme.

De tre soveværelser i hovedbygningen har alle en-suite badeværelser. Alle senge har toppen af ​​den linje madrasser og skibsføreren har en Duxiana seng, siges at være den fineste i verden. Marmor Føreren bad har et siddebadekar og to person damp brusebad. Køkkenet har hånd hugget fransk kabinet, og er udstyret med alt til de mest kræsne gourmet kokke. Familien værelse har en massiv sten pejs, som kan bruges til madlavning samt et underholdningssystem og et bredt udvalg af film og musik. Stengulve overalt og de tykke vægge giver en køligere temperatur i sommermånederne, selvom hvert vindue er screenet, er alle værelser aircondition, og fans leveres også.

Pensionatet, lige over den forreste gårdhave og ned ad et par skridt, har eget køkken, marmorbad og pejs, og sover 4 komfortabelt. Ejendommen er ideel for tre par og / eller familier med børn.

Den tumlede marmor saltvandsbassin er 5x12 meter og har en elektrisk dækning. Pool-området har masser af liggestole og store paraplyer til at læse eller solbadning, og der er perspektiver at overse to nærliggende slotte. Der er en økologisk have til brug for vores gæster støder op til træ fyret pizza ovn og grill, hvor du kan spise under åben himmel under den smukke drue vin overdækket pergola.

Der er miles og miles af vandrestier lige uden for døren og en romersk vej, som daterer sig tilbage over 2000 år. Du kan finde vandfald og en swimming hul inden for en 15 minutters vandretur fra huset. En af de bedste restauranter i Toscana er en spektakulær en time hike fra ejendommen.

Superstrada og Autostrada er inden for 15 minutter i bil. Landsbyen Strada in Chianti ligger 4 km væk, hvor der er et par restauranter, mad markeder og et apotek.

An amazing Tuscan vacation

We were warmly greeted by the amazing house managers Daniele and Tracey who live in a separate home on property. They showed us the lay of the land and how everything operated. They took care of any issue however small quickly. Two of our daughters took a bedroom each within the main house and the third was happy to reside in the guest cottage by herself. There was plenty of room for everyone! My husband who is an avid cyclist rented a bike from a local shop who delivered and picked the bike up from the villa. He went on several 60 mile rides through the region while we relaxed poolside. In the afternoons we took day trips to Florence and several towns within an hours drive. Definitely hire Chef Laura for extra meals. She is amazing and so talented. She taught us how to make pasta in the villa’s kitchen and it was a great family activity. Barry and Jody were lovely to deal with before we arrived and are very knowledgeable about all things and places. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your amazing home!

This has been a dream vacation of mine for 10 years, this place made those dreams come true

I've been planning for this dream vacation for over 10 years, and I'm beyond thrilled to have chosen this magical place for it. The photos do not do the beauty of this villa justice, it far exceeded any and all expectations. The host was phenomenal, helping us plan for the best possible vacation, and the property managers, Tracey and Danele, were truly the ones that made this trip so special. Close to a plethora of incredible restaurants, towns, and amazing Tuscan countryside, I cannot recommend this place enough. A huge thank you for allowing us to enjoy your speciplace.

You can't ask for anything more perfect and lovely

La Valle is the most amazing property with a fantastic, perfectly appointed home with the kindest, most caring and gracious caregivers, Tracy and Daniele. There aren't enough adjectives to describe it all. The location of the estate is great. 30 minute quick trip to Florence, 10 minutes to a nearby town, an hour to Sienna and San Gimiano. The property itself is breathtaking and immaculately kept and cared for. We spent every afternoon enjoying the beautiful pool and sat on the patio for dinner and drinks on multiple evenings. The sweeping Tuscan views look like something out of a postcard. The house itself is spacious and gorgeously decorated. We are a family of five with three teenagers and two parents and there was more than enough space for everyone to have their own privacy but also have spaces for coming together. The kitchen is amazing and has everything you could need should you decide to cook! But just as wonderful as the home and the property are Tracy and Daniele who helped with anything and everything we needed and are caring, interesting wonderful people. Having the beds made each day as well as the dishes done was a true treat. Getting to know them was even better! They helped with everything from reaching out to a chef to set up a dinner at home for us to making sure the espresso maker was prepped and ready for each morning! Finally, the first evening meal with Chef Fabrizio was a true Tuscan treat from a personable and fabulous chef! Amazing!!!

Pure joy in Tuscany

We had the most wonderful time at the villa. Very easy to get to Florence and the grounds are truly lovely. Santi and Luli are now our friends and Fabrizio the chef is magnificent. Our kids loved the pool, picking vegetables and fruit and running all around. The kitchen is great and easy to use, and their guides make your stay fun to plan. I can't imagine why we wouldn't be back! Thank you so much.

Perfect vacation

This is a perfect Villa for your vacation. It is stunningly beautiful in a great location for easy day trips throughout Tuscany. We were a group ranging from 8 to 80 and everyone enjoyed their stay. The welcome dinner with Fabrizio was excellent. The beds and furnishings were very comfortable. Having Netflix made it easy for the kids to wind down after a day of touring while the adults sat outside with a bottle of wine and took in the view. We made pizza’s in the wood fired oven and roasted chicken on the grill, and everyone loved the pool. You really don’t need to look any further. This is an excellent home for your vacation!

Heavenly

My family of four adults and two young children stayed 3 weeks in June. The grounds of the property are magical; gardens and views everywhere you look. The inside was cozy and had all the amenities needed. Santi and Luli took extremely good care of us and acted as concierges, cooks (extra service) and friends. We loved our stay and will come again. Thank you Jody, Barry, Santi and Luli

Simply magical

Le Valle is nothing short of magical. You feel the familiar comfort of being at home while at the same being pampered and cared for by the wonderful hosts, Lucia and Santiago. The view, the villa, the grounds, the pool(!), and the vibe were second to none and surpassed all our dreams. The best meals we had during our 2 week European adventure were created by Fabrizio. He is not only a world class chef, but a world class human being. Would love to come back again. Highly recommend.

Absolute Perfection!

Everything about this beautiful property was perfect for our group of family and friends. The villa and guest house are appointed for comfort and enjoyment. (Coffee lovers in our group were delighted to start each day with cappuccinos brewed in the professional espresso machine!) We rotated among the four outdoor eating locations, enjoying the views of olive groves, the Tuscan hills, and the sun setting behind the nearby castle. Caretakers Santiago and Lucia ensured that we were well taken care of throughout our week and we loved our welcome dinner and pizza making class with chef Fabrizio. The location allowed for easy trips into Florence and the surrounding countryside. We had very active days, and days spent on site, hiking the trail that surrounds the villa and lounging by the pool. (The pool was especially popular with our tweens, as was the chess set!) Le Valle more than lives up to the reviews and the description you’ll find here. It was the centerpiece of a fantastic Tuscan experience.

Great Stay at Le Valle

Gorgeous property with all the comforts of home. Santiago and Lucia were phenomenal caretakers all week of our family and the property. The owners are extremely responsive and have thought through almost anything you could need while staying here. Loved the La Marzocco espresso machine as well! Thank you!

Tuscan Fairy Tale

So many great things to say about Le Valle. Leading up to our stay, Barry and Jody were frequent contact, providing detailed information about the house and surrounding area. They were quick to respond to any question and gave well informed recommendations for restaurants, wineries, activities, and even parking in Florence! On the day of arrival, Santiago and Lucia, the property caretakers were there to meet us and give us the grand tour. A welcome dinner provided by chef Fabrizio was the perfect finish to our arrival day as he is both affable and a skilled chef. The property itself is located about 30 minutes from Florence and within approximately an hour of many notable towns like Siena and Volterra. The house is away from the hustle and bustle of Florence and basically in the countryside near Strada in Chianti. The house and guest house are as advertised and depicted in the listing. There entire property was ours and included a fantastic pool and multiple outdoor areas to relax. Wood burning pizza oven? Yep. Garden with countless tomatoes, basil, lettuce available to pick and eat? Yep. Plum tree with tasty fruit? Of course. The kitchen is well equipped including a top of the line espresso maker to provide the best espresso you could ask for. All the bed rooms have air conditioners and the guest house living room is also air conditioned. The main house living areas were cool enough even in the middle of the summer heat wave if you strategically kept the doors and windows closed during the middle of the day and opened the windows in the evenings. Santiago and Lucia were super friendly and always available for any issues. They provided basic cleaning and trash removal on most days. If you want to truly immerse yourself in storybook Tuscany, this is the place to go. Thanks to Barry and Jody for sharing their incredible estate!

It doesn’t get better than this!!

When we rented La Valle we had high expectations based on the property description and it’s multiple 5 star reviews. But as we drove through the imposing gates and down the long winding driveway we knew that this property was going to vastly exceed our expectations. As we got out of our cars we were met by the “welcoming committee” who gave us refreshments and introduced us to the property. We were literally without words. The house and gardens were impeccable maintained and they are jaw dropping gorgeous. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. The housekeeper, Valeria, was such a pleasure to be around she was so helpful. Fabricio the chef, who cooked our welcome meal, was nothing short of a exceptional. In fact that meal was so delicious and the experience so wonderful that we hired him to come back to cook for us later in the week. While at the property we were kept busy swimming in the beautiful marble-lined swimming pool, at the pizza oven, playing ping-pong, and taking hikes. The information that the owners left for us was so helpful. We were able to take wonderful day trips throughout the Chianti region, we visited several wineries and the cities of Pisa, Luca, Siena and Florence. But the best part was always coming back home to La Valle. And e e plan to come back again soon. We give this very special property our highest recommendation!!

Paradise Found

My family and I had a truly special experience at La Valle. The house is beautiful and provided an ideal "home base" for all and the guest cottage was perfect for my cousin and her family - affording us all a bit of privacy when desired. The pool and gardens are gorgeous. We spent two weeks at the property, with many side trips to the charming villages and markets nearby. The house is in an ideal location for action-packed day trips to Sienna, Florence, wineries, etc. or for a quick trip to a local market for a picnic and relaxing day by the pool. The hosts are extraordinarily generous with information about things nearby to do and see. Suffice to say: The wonders of La Valle defy complete description - you'll just have to go and experience this magical place for yourself!

The getaway of a lifetime!

This property is nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment you pull up to this majestic place with it’s regal gateway, you are instantly transported to a Tuscan dream! The house is impeccably kept, and perfectly located near all the best wineries and restaurants. The interior design of the house is perfect for the setting. Waking up to a coffee overlooking the hills, hiking the scenic grounds, or sitting near the pool with a glass of wine—these are experiences you’ll never forget! I could write a whole separate review on the outdoor wood fire pizza oven, but suffice it to say, one of the very best parts of our trip! I would stay at this property over and over again, and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic and memorable Tuscan experience :)

Beautiful property with a wonderful staff.

We had a great stay at this property. It has a magnificent setting with views of the surrounding hills. The interior of the property is very comfortable and spacious. The staff of Peter, Maggie, Valeria and Fabrizio is second to none. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for a better property and staff to take care of us. We will be back.

This villa and the entire property will exceed your expectations in every possible way

THE PLANNING: 9 of us planned our dream Tuscany vacation for over a year. In our online search, Le Valle captured our hearts from the very beginning. The setting appeared breathtaking and the detail in both the descriptions and the pictures made us feel like it was clearly the place for us. The owners promptly answered every question, and the information they provided for us about the area was so incredibly helpful and thorough that it saved hours of travel planning on our own. THE ARRIVAL: All of us were so excited to finally be in Italy that our anticipation for arrival at the villa was barely able to be contained. When we finally drove into the long driveway winding to the house, we were speechless before we even got out of the car. As beautiful as the pictures are, they could never capture Le Valle in the serenity of its setting. With the afternoon sun lighting up the whole valley and casting a warm glow over the face of the house and the outdoor dining patio, we felt like we had become part of an artist's painting. Peter and Magi, friends of the owners, were there to greet us and graciously showed us around the house. Every room seemed to surpass the previous one, and by the time our orientation tour was completed, it was clear that this spectacular home had far exceeded our expectations in every way and we had only just arrived. OUR WEEK: Although we took full advantage of Barry and Jody's travel suggestions around the area, our most meaningful hours were spent at the villa. Their beautiful home became our home and within the first day we felt as comfortable being there as if I had designed and decorated it myself. Their attention to every detail both inside and outside the house revealed both their love for the property and respect for its architectural history. They have created a spectacular setting that is its own experience. For us, dinner on the patio in the late evening, with the garden lights softly highlighting the face of the house and listening to the quietness of the valley were very special moments that we looked forward to each night. And the meals prepared for us by Fabrizio, a local chef who cooked for us on two evenings, were indescribable. OUR REFLECTION: The richness of Tuscany, the serene beauty of Le Valle, the warmth of every person we met during our stay here, all combined to make this Tuscan estate not just a place to stay, but a place to be experienced. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I will return.
