Casale Cipressi

What a great experience!! We we're nine from 9months to 75 yo. Everybody had a good time. We visited all around the Villa but our best time was at the Villa. Very good accommodation, clean, very well equipped and a perfect location in the heart of Chianti. The owner was very easy to deal with and welcoming. He helped make our trip better.

Thanks,

Special thanks to Orietta, the chef we booked for the last two nights at the Villa. Trustworthy, great Chef, pleasant to deal with and good with every member of my family. You should see my goddaughter (3 1/2 yo) make fresh pasta with Orietta. Regarding the attractions, for me the best was my time in Chianti, visiting small villages and eating home made good food.

We took our children and grandchildren to Casale Cipressi. The villa was everything we hoped for, beautifully furnished and equipped. The view was amazing in a beautiful peaceful location reached by a 1 mile track. It was however close to Castellina for shops and restaurants. The owner, Nik, was very welcoming and helpful. Even though the weather was mixed we had a wonderful time. We needed the patio heater at night - middle of June. We would all like to go again.

What a magnificent house!!

The location of the villa is simply superb, amazing views across the valley and a sense of real isolation. I was travelling with my parents, sisters family with three kids and myself and the villa comfortably housed us all. It was great to have two floors so the kids could go downstairs if the adults were up late. The open fire was simply divine and a real treat. We spent many hours playing backgammon and drinking wine in front of the open flames.

My favourite spot of the house was the outdoor seating area with spectacular views across the valley. There is an outdoor heater which was lovely for the cool nights. I also loved all the different seating areas/dining tables which allowed us to eat in different spots according to the weather. Nik, the home owner, met us and gave us a very detailed explanation of all the features of the house and he was very good at staying in touch and answering our questions.

We made great use of the sauna, pool and ping pong table and walked into Castellina, the local village every other day. The gelato shop is sensational! The cleaner was greatly appreciated and did a fantastic job, it certainly made our stay very easy.
Only a couple of very small things. The toaster is a bit spasmodic but we just used the grill in the oven. Also in the bathroom downstairs we got water everywhere as there is no shower curtain, that might be an Italian thing.

We ate at couple of restaurants in town though can't remember the names. The pizza restaurant in the square was great. We went to most of the stores in town and bought wine, panforte and almond biscuits every other day. The stores towards the bottom of the square were great. the store owners were very friendly. San Gimignano is wonderful and definitely worth a visit as is Radda. We did a Chianti tour with Franco Fadda tours who picked us up from the villa which was excellent as we all could enjoy the wine. Siena and Florence are both fantastic though if you are driving be aware of the city zones which can only be entered if you have a permit. Florence really needs a couple of days as there is so much to see.

Die Lage sowie der Ausblick ist traumhaft schön. Die Küche hat alles zu bieten, was benötigt wird. Man hat für jede Mahlzeit den richtigen Platz.

Radda, San Gimignano, Montefioralle,

De prachtige perfecte ligging en uitstraling zijn zeer authentiek. Prima uitvalsbasis voor o.a Siena, Florence, San Gimignano en andere steden in de omgeving. Prachtige tuin met uitzicht wat nooit gaat vervelen, niet overdag, niet in de schemer en nacht. Goed uitgeruste keuken inclusief buiten keuken.
Schoonmaak 3 x per week, zeer gerieflijk, niet echt nodig, maar wel plezierig.
Zwembad.
Het is zo mooi dat je eigenlijk geen excursies moet maken en alleen maar moet gaan genieten van de locatie. Wij waren er met 6 volwassenen en 1 peuter en 2 baby's. Ook voor hen was het perfect.

De derde badkamer stelt niets voor en de badkamer beneden is gedateerd.
Een koffiemachine zou een toegevoegde waarde hebben.
Tuinmeubelen zijn gerieflijk, maar oud.

Beautiful villa with a lovely outlook. Good sense of character. Huge range of facilities, especially places to eat
Ideally, we would have had en-suite facilities, though this was difficult because of the villa lay-out. Cold evenings caught us by surprise, but that's ur fault for choosing to take a holiday in mid-April

We enjoyed Castellina-in-Chianti, the facilities in (including a lovely restaurant, Tre Porti) and the local walks to it. Further afield, we loved Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Greve-in-Chianti and, of course, Florence
