This is a spacious and comfortable property on the edge of a small hamlet (Badia in Montemuro; NOT Lucolena in Chianti). There is an Osteria in Badia and a good restaurant (Borgo Antico) a little further away, towards Lucolena. Otherwise, the nearest place to find a shop (Coop), bank, and restaurants is Radda in Chianti, approx. 10 km away (on very twisty roads). A larger supermarket is the Coop in Figline Valdarno. There is a rail station here too, which is convenient for day trips to Florence. We will come back, for sure.

We were very pleased with the property. It was convenient for the family to come and go without having to arrange transportation, allowing rest between activities.

The Torre was lovely, beautiful grounds, great to have en suite bathrooms and very comfortable. Two things set it apart. First, the owner and his charming parents. rosato came by every day to work at his other property and would always chec k in and give us great recommendations, fix a minor detail like a leaking coffee pot, whatever. The second great part was to learn about the land from him. They have 150 acres and beyond the house you can walk for miles and miles and see no development, just sweeping views to the broad valley below and up side valleys. He manages his forests, mostly chestnuts! His family has been in the region for centuries and so there is this very deep connection to the landscape that brought a wonderful dimension of my understanding of the landscape,.. To see how they care for their forest so beautifully. Its quite wild up there, a refreshing balance to the beauty of the agricultural landscape below.

Suite D'Artista is a wonderful property with fantastic property managers that make your stay as easy as they possibly can. The villa itself is even more spacious than it appears on the web site, and the backyard is delightful. It is an oasis, but within easy walking distance to the town center. This is by far the best stocked villa I've rented, and the managers even had a starter pack of groceries for us upon our arrival--wondeful after an overnight flight from the U.S. Amenities include a grill, wood burning oven, Turkish bath, and washer/dryer. This is a great location if you want to stay in a Tuscan villa without being too far out in the countryside.
