Our family had an absolute wonderful time in Villa Gaville, when we stayed for a week in July. The villa itself is stunning with new facilities that are all of very high quality. Everything was spotless when we arrived. The villa is very spacious with beautiful bedrooms, all equipped with everything that you might need. The location and views are spectacular. There are numerous places to sit, relax and enjoy the views in the beautiful gardens, which are impeccably kept. The swimming pool, which our kids absolutely loved, was very well maintained and clean.
The location was perfect. Right in the heart of Chianti, close to some beautiful small villages as well as the larger towns of Florence and Sienna.
As beautiful as the place is, the highlight for us was the wonderful hospitality that Elisabetta and her family provided. They were extra conscious about providing us with privacy while at the same time could not have been more welcoming, helpful and hospitable. Elisabetta had great suggestions about places to go and things to do, which we very much appreciated. Not only did Elisabetta provide us with wine and food when we arrived, not to mention a beautiful desert, but we also had the opportunity to sample her mother’s wonderful cooking while we were there.
We truly had an amazing time at Villa Gaville, made even more special by Elisabetta and her family and we definitely hope to come back again.

Plus: great location, beautiful apartment.
Minus: no water cooker, no cushions on garden furniture and not enough garden furniture, which we had to share with our neighbours. We prefer to pay the cleaning costs via bank and not cash... Also, nobody rang to check whether everything was ok or so.
The check out was at 10 am. We had already asked to check out earlier as we had to drive back to Holland. We had to wait for Simona (rep of the resort) and the cleaner. At 10.20 am they finally arrived, no apology of some sort. My husband was very angry, but Simona kept arguing it wasn't her fault... The fact that we need to pay a deposit of 500 euros in cash is not something of this day and age. We would have preferred to leave much earlier, but had to wait for the money to be returned. So overall a nice stay, but there are some things that need to be improved.

Renter Rating: 3/5.

Beautiful villa set in stunning countryside. Let down by a poorly equipped kitchen with few amenities, especially given the extremely remote location and difficulty in visiting shops.

The villa and location was excellent, Cortona is a lovely town. The villa could have been a little cleaner and we were expecting a cleaner at least once when we were there for two weeks, but no one appeared. Had to ask for more towels as well. The owner and our contact were helpful though and we fud get towels once we asked. Pool was clean and villa surroundings very good.

Renter: Karine H. (Grobbendonk, België).

Renter Rating: 4/5.

Rustig gelegen, wel onverharde (lange) toegangsweg. Vriendelijke ontvangst. Huis goed uitgerust. In de tuin geen ligzetels enkel 2 tuinstoelen die je soms moet delen met andere bewoner. Prijs/kwaliteit toch wel dik in orde!
