La Valle

Roberta & Onario are perfect hosts. We had two potentially serious issues whilst staying at the villa, one with the water supply and the other with the power following a major storm. Both were resolved in less than an hour! Outstanding. The only reason for not rating everything "Excellent" is the fact that the lovely owners do not speak English. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Il Malborghetto. Absolutely superb.

A very relaxing week enjoyed by two adults and two teenage boys. The pool was perfect. We enjoyed the short stroll to the local restaurant in the evening.

the shop, cafe and restaurant an easy walk away. A wine tour and tasting at the local vineyard was definitely a highlight.

We had a wonderful family holiday year.

The house was beautiful and wonderfully equipped. Very private and tucked away in the forest. And just a walk away from Lecchi, which was convenient.

Garden and pool were also enjoyed.

We will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

Malborgettho Restaurant in Lecchi. We did a cooking class this with the owner Simone - which was a highlight of our trip. Radda was a great town, plenty of shopping and eating options. Brolio Castle was also pretty interesting. Capanelle winery on the other side of the hill was our favourite winery - but there about a hundred we didn't even get to.

Domek bardzo zadbany i czysty ogród dopieszczony przez właścicieli szkoda że nie mówią po angielsku bo trudno się dogadać . Basen czysty a woda nieziemska - krystaliczna . Mało miejsca do siedzenia na zewnątrz . Ogólnie bardzo udany pobyt . Wieczory przy obecności dzikich zwierząt , lisy , dziki ........umilały nam pobyt w La Valle .

jakieś 10 minut piechotką sklep i restauracja ,

excellent location, beautiful views, nice walk to the village, wonderful landscaping
keyholder did not speak english so checkin was a joke, the beds were not comfortable,turning the stove on shorted out the electricity and we were unable to explain this to the keyholder, the washing machine was tiny and there was no dryer, because it was a rainey week this was a huge hassel for us

the restaurant in the adjoining village was terrific

Ein wunderschönes Haus mitten in der Natur, weitab von Trubel und Tourismus.
Der perfekte Ort zum erholen und es sich gut gehen lassen.

Fantastisches Restaurant, in 10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen: Ristorante Malborghetto Enotica Rinaldi in Lecchi: Gemütlich um im Dorfzentrum einen Cappuccino zu trinken

Wonderful welcome from Roberta & Aurelio with home made cake and wine.
Beautiful gardens, grounds, location and views to die for - all better than the photos on website.
Well equipped, spacious, and WIFI service better than at home.
Layout enables privacy, quiet space if part of group needs it.
We loved it, 20 somethings and 60's alike!
The local biting flies and insects.

Alberghetto in Lecchi is just one of many great restaurants, La Grotta dela Rana in San Sano, La Botte in Vagliagli are some others. Wonderful, beautiful Siena is only 30 minutes away, Firenze less than an hour, and Monteriggioni also close by. But this lovely part of Chianti is full of gorgeous places, views and people. And the wine and olive oil from Casnuova di Ama just up the road!!!

Ein sehr schönes wie gepflegtes Haus mit wunderschönem Garten in idyllischer Lage. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Greve in Chianti (Metzgerei Falorni ist ein Muss) sowie Siena sind tolle Ausflugsziele. Absolut empfehlenswert ist in Lecchi in Chianti das Restaurant "Malborghetto", das fußläufig leicht zu erreichen ist und mit erstklassiger toskanischer Küche aufwartet, gepaart mit super Service sowie aufmerksame Freundlichkeit!

Beautiful location. Perfect garden - couldn't be better - totally private and well maintained.
No dislikes. It would be helpful, because the owners don't speak English, to have a file or book which contained some information in different languages, detailing, most importantly, emergency information, e.g. Local doctor, hospital, amenities within the area and instructions on the household facilities.
Local information is always very helpful and would be very useful to have.

We enjoyed visiting many towns and villages in the local area.

We hebben 2 weken lang genoten van het verblijf in het vakantie huis La Valle.
Bij aankomst stonden de eigenaren Roberta en Aurelio ons al op te wachten, waarbij alles zo goed als mogelijk werd uitgelegd over het huis, ondanks de taal barrière.
Het huis is op een zeer mooie locatie, waar veel rust en privacy is. Het huis en tuin worden erg goed onderhouden, en hebben dus ook geen gebreken kunnen constateren.
Het dorpje Lecchi is op loopafstand waar 's ochtends vers brood gehaald kan worden, na een wandeling van 5 minuten. Het zwembad werd voor ons wat eerder klaargemaakt voor gebruik, waar we iedere dag dankbaar gebruik van hebben gemaakt. Ook zijn er verschillende plekjes buiten om te zitten. Roberta heeft 2 avonden voor ons gekookt, wat zeer goed is bevallen, een aanrader! 's avonds bij schemering lopen er herten langs het hek rondom het huis. Al met al een hele mooie vakantie in de Chianti
Als er iets valt te klagen... De stoelen buiten zouden wat meer comfort kunnen hebben.

Radda in Chianti is een kwartiertje rijden met leuke winkeltjes en een Coop voor de dagelijkse boodschappen, waar in principe alles is te krijgen. Ook is er een goede slager in de winkelstraat zelf. Castallini in Chianti is een leuk dorpje om te bezichtigen, wat veel weg heeft van Radda. Siena is ruim een half uur rijden, waar parkeren makkelijk is bij parkeer gelegendheid "francesco". Hier neem je 5 roltrappen omhoog, en staat bijna in het centrum, dichtbij piaza del campo. Florence is anderhalf uur rijden. Wij hebben de trein vanaf Montivarchi genomen, waarbij de trein je direct in het centrum afzet, en op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden bent. Castello Brolio is 20 minuten rijden en een leuk uitje met mooi uitzicht.

The outside space is stunning, totally private with beautiful views, well maintained gardens, various terraces for sun or shade at every time of day, and superb clean pool with loungers, shady sitting area - delightful!
The inside of the villa is immaculately clean, not a speck of dirt anywhere. The kitchen was well equipped including extras like tinfoil, washing up liquid etc. (we knew there was no dishwasher).
The owner Roberta and her husband were kindness itself, allowing us to rent midweek to midweek since we were there for l'Eroica race at the start of October, keeping the pool open for us, and meeting us on arrival with wine and cake.
The villa suited our family needs (grandparents in separate area upstairs, family downstairs) so we could meet up or have privacy as needed.
The location suited us to be near Gaiole for start of l'Eroica race.
The inside was somewhat gloomy in the evenings since the low lighting was quite difficult to read by. The sitting areas, both upstairs and downstairs not especially comfortable. The seating upstairs especially was not adequate for even a couple - we could not sit together on the tiny sofa, the only seating apart from dining chairs.
The location was really remote, down a long unmade road and then a very steep access road. Might be too remote for some.
I was terrified of breaking Roberta's china and glass ornaments which were just everywhere and locked all these away as soon as we arrived! Language problems as they don't speak any English meant we misunderstood about leaving time and procedure. But they are so nice and willing to help, the nicest owners I have come across.

Ristorante Malborgheto in nearby Lecchi was stunning. You can walk there, or drive in two minutes. Simone the owner provides fantastic food, lovely ambience and setting... And cookery courses. Don't miss this place! Had lovely meal also at Badia a Coltibuono and tour of winery. Siena was an easy drive away... The Duomo was amazing inside, the highlight of the tour. Radda, Volpaiai and Castellina in Chianti were very pleasant places to visit also. L'Eroica race, our reason for coming, was brilliant fun!

Beautiful villa, lovely gardens and pool, set in fabulous countryside. The keyholders couldn't have been nicer or more helpful - very nice people.
A little bit too isolated for our party and too many insects attracted to us when swimming (not the owners' fault!)

Small village within walking distance, which was lovely. A bar/restaurant, another bar and a restaurant plus a little shop that sold everything. The nearby town of Radda has a large supermarket, lots of small shops and restaurants and is an interesting place to visit.

Location - second to none;
The welcome - home made cake and a bottle of wine!
The flies - only outside, nothing anyone can do about this;

The Malborgheto restaurant in the village

Maison agréable dans magnifique jardin. Très paisible
Rien de grave... peut etre aboiement de chiens du village voisin

die Lage war einfach genial, so ruhig, wahnsinnig gepflegt und sehr viel Platz. Das Haus ist ein Bijou, sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Roberta und Ihr Mann sind sehr zuvorkommend und wir haben uns so richtig willkommen gefühlt.

Radda war sehr schön und Siena. Das Restaurant in Lecchi war superfein.

Die Lage und das Anwesen sind wahnsinnig schön.
Die Sessel und die Couch im Wohnzimmer könnten erneuert werden.
