Casacaterina in Chianti

Casa Caterina is part of a restored farmhouse that has mature garden, planted with lavender bushes and olive trees, and, of course, a private swimming pool (opened from the 15th of may to the 15 of oct). A large garden terrace area provides outdoor eating space, whilst the spacious first floor terrace is a veritable suntrap. The interior has been tastefully decorated with a mixture of modern comfort and traditional pieces of furniture and the living room boasts a large picture window that frames the breathtaking view.

This is a beautiful, well maintained and well equipped property in a lovely location. The views and sunsets from the terrace are amazing. There are large ceiling fans in the living room and both bedrooms. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the heat. Filippo was most helpful with our questions. Thank you to Caterina and Marco also.

Amazing!

CasaCaterina was perfect! The house was clean, showers were roomy, and the bed comfortable! What a beautiful location! The weather was great, so we were able to use the pool after our daily adventures! Filippo, Caterina and Marco met us when we arrived to show us around. And Filippo kept in contact with us just in case we needed anything! The newly renovated Kitchen was perfect for the light cooking we did! Such a peaceful location! We were blessed to spend part of our travels here!

Memories for a lifetime

The spectacular panoramic view and sunsets of Tuscany are forever etched in my memory thanks to Casacaterina. The views were breathtaking! And to wake up to Sunday church bells in the distance was wonderful. Filippo was very helpful and communicative throughout. And were were greeted by the graciousness of Caterina and Marco. The home was cozy and quite spacious with high ceilings and tiled floors but you will find yourself spending most of your time on the large patio taking in the views of the countryside and watching the stars at night. The kitchen and baths were well equipped. And most of our home-cooked meals included all of the wonderful herbs growing in the garden. The location was perfect for getting to day trips to Siena, Montepulciano, San Gimignano and Florence. The nearby town had a well-stocked grocery store. And I wish I could remember the name of the pizzeria just a couple of miles away because there I had the best pizza of my entire 2-week stay in Italy! Grazie mille, Filippo, Caterina, and Marco.

Didn’t want to leave!

I can’t say enough good things about this property and the hosts, Filippo (English speaking) and parents Caterina & Marco. The location is perfect, we stayed 2 weeks and visited Florence 6-7 times as well as the surrounding Medieval Villages, countryside and wineries of the Chianti Region. Not only is everything immaculate, they have thoughtfully supplied everything you could need for the stay. We weren’t really looking to have a private swimming pool, but what a great plus, we used it often and enjoyed the shady yard as well. The large patio is amazing with 270° views forever. Yes, you need a car, but it’s minutes to the grocery store and town of Tavarnelle with its several restaurants. Truly a memorable stay, hope to come back!!

A lovely private getaway

Casa Caterina is even more impressive than the photos. The hosts were lovely, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions/concerns. The pool is clean and refreshing, and the home is perfectly located to make easy day trips all around Tuscany and Florence. The scenery is amazing and we loved just sitting on the deck and enjoying the fresh air/views. We had such a wonderful time during our stay and would recommend this location to couples and families alike. It's a perfect choice for a relaxing holiday!

Excellent villa.

Excellent rural and quiet location with stunning long distant views and beautiful sunsets. The villa was perfect for a family of four (two adults and two teens) and had everything that we needed - terrace, pool and garden - and more. We found it a great location for visiting lovely Tuscan towns of San Gimignano, Volterra, Colle di val d`elsa, Monteriggioni, Pisa, Siena and, of course Florence (we took the train from Poggibonsi) - all of which we would recommend. Marco, Caterina and Filippo were great hosts and Filippo`s good English language skills made the whole booking and arriving process very easy for us, If you want a villa in Chianti between Siena and Florence we would highly recommend Casa Caterina.

Beautiful house in a prime Tuscan location.

My wife and I could not have wished for a better place in Tuscany. Caterina and Filippo were very attentive and made us feel welcome. The view from the house is priceless. The house is one of the best organized with a cook’s kitchen and every other amenity possible. Highly recommended.

Great Villa

What a wonderful place to spend the week. We drove around to all of the beautiful hillside towns, ate in some really great restaurants and took a day trip to Florence. The owners were very helpful. The rooms are big and clean. There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and bath rooms. The outdoor areas are breathtaking. Pictures can’t do the place justice. I recommend this Villa in Tuscany.

Perfect location

The location of this property is just about perfect. It is in the countryside with fantastic views but very close to shops and restaurants. It is situated close to the Florence Siena main road and thus makes a great base from which to explore Tuscany.. The property itself is spacious with a well secluded garden. The photos do not do.it justice.

Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet. Die Küche wurde komplett erneuert statt einem Gas Herd ist jetzt ein Induktionsherd eingebaut. Leider fehlt ein Ofen der bei der vorherigen Küche in den Bildern zu sehen war. Das hat aber keine Probleme gemacht. Die Lage des Hauses ist unglaublich schön. Man kann von der Dachterasse einen wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang genießen. Die Straße zum Haus ist etwas holprig, nach ein paar Touren hat man sich aber an die Schlaglöcher gewöhnt und fährt sehr vorsichtig in dem betroffenen Bereich. Am Ende der Straße ist noch ein Weingut bei dem man ein Tasting machen könnte und gemeinsam kochen kann. Dafür hat uns aber leider etwas Zeit gefehlt. Florenz, San Gimignano oder auch Siena sind von der Unterkunft mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Im Schnitt haben wir ca. 35min benötigt.Der Pool ist etwa 1,2m tief. Zur Größe des Pools, wir konnten entspannt zu 4. im Pool entspannen. Die Besitzer sind sehr liebenswert und hilfsbereit. Wir hoffen, dass wir bald wieder Urlaub in der Casa Caterina machen können.

Un merveilleux emplacement pour la découverte de la Toscane

Cette villa offre d’excellentes prestations. Elle est spacieuse pour 4 personnes, avec deux salles de douche et deux toilettes. De grandes garde-robes sont disponibles avec de nombreux ceintres. La terrasse est merveilleuse avec une vue magnifique sur les collines environnantes et San Gimignano. Elle est très agréable le matin et fin de journée quand le vent se lève. Elle est très bien équipée et on voit que les propriétaires ont le souci du détail (produits d’entretien disponibles sur place, anti-moustique, lits faits à l’arrivée, serviettes disponibles, etc.) C’est un bon point de depart des visites pour la Région (Florence est à 30 minutes en voitures, Sienne à 40 minutes, etc.). Cette maison est louée depuis 2012 et les propriétaires fournissent une documentation intéressante et pratique pour améliorer le séjour sur place, des livres en anglais et en italien. La communication avec le propriétaire était très rapide et efficace. Attention aux distraits (pas de lave-vaisselle ni de climatisation). En juillet, les températures sont élevés et il faut maintenir le frais comme on peut, c’est notre seul bémol, nous qui venons du Nord!

Rigtig dejligt fredeligt feriested for fire

Casacaterina er et virkelig dejligt sted at holde ferie. Huset ligger i helt rolige omgivelser og med den smukkeste udsigt over Toscanas fine landskab. Fra tagterrassen får man hver aften den smukkeste solnedgang. Huset ligger tæt på flere små hyggelige byer, og der er kun 5 minutters kørsel til det lokale rigtig lækre supermarked. Vi besøgte byerne Barberino, Siena og Cetaldo. Filippo tog rigtig godt imod os og har været nem at komme i kontakt med over WhatsApp, hvis vi havde spørgsmål. Huset var dejlig rent og pænt, og der var alt, hvad man skulle bruge. Poolen var også ren og pæn. Vi var to vennepar afsted, og det passede huset godt til. Der er to soveværelser, hvor der kan sove to på hvert. Og et badeværelse til hvert værelse. Dog skal man igennem det ene værelse for at komme ind til resten af huset. Men det gjorde ikke noget for os. Jeg kan varmt anbefale dette sted, det er et helt fantastisk sted at holde ferie, hvis man vil slappe af ved egen pool, og samtidig have mulighed for nemt at besøge små hyggelige byer uden for mange turister.
