Located just a 15 minute walk from the quaint town of Greve in Chianti, this charming farm is the…read moreperfect oasis in every sense of the word. Let's break it down.
Service: the staff is incredibly accommodating and friendly. They are truly locals and have great recommendations for restaurants, wineries, and activities to do in Toscana.
Facility: we had room 1 which was basically an entire apartment equipped with a queen size bed, large spaced bathroom, a living room and kitchen. The decor is a bit medieval with large creaking wooden doors and a dark layout. There are many areas in this huge property:
1. the many many many rows of grapes lining the whole property on your left, right, front, back, etc.
2. There's an outdoor movie theater with bean bag chairs
3. The pool area (not heated) with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. A pool bar, a jacuzzi and a small gym with free weights.
4. A sauna
5. Farm animals: sheep, goats, roosters, ducks, rabbits, turkey, peacocks, goat, and alpacas! The alpacas, by the way, are brought over to their dining area every morning to join you while you eat, so you can pet and feed them!
6. Lastly, they have a wine shop at the base of the hill prior to entering the property where you can do a quick wine tasting.
All in all, the facilities were impeccable. You can wake up early and go for a strenuous hike around the property, saying hi to all of the animals as you pass by. Then, you sit down for their buffet breakfast in their beautiful glass dining area where they cook the most delicious, soft, flavorful eggs I've ever had along with the assortment of breakfast pastries. Don't forget the alpacas! After, you can relax by the pool, jumping in when the sun gets a little too hot. Stroll through the vineyards, walk into town, or drive to neighboring wineries. Whatever you do, this hotel is the perfect place to situate yourself on your vacation in Toscana!
