LA CASA DI MANUELA, Chianti Villa JACUZZI between Florence and San Gimignano
The owners Michele and Giada will be happy to welcome you to their villa with particular charm in every season.
Entire villa of 180 square meters ideal for large families and groups of friends who love nature and the quiet immersed in a land full of surprises where a centuries-old wine culture has designed the landscape, making it a splendid scenario of natural beauty and artistic riches. Land of contrasts and harmonies, of hills with gentle slopes, of wide viewpoints and hidden valleys, vineyards climbed to the edge of the woods, of rural farmhouses and medieval manors: everything smells of history, art and wine. You will love and be amazed by our land as we love these hills embroidered with vineyards and ancient villages, never ceasing to amaze us when we travel the small roads that cross them. The villa, immersed in the Chianti countryside, was obtained from an old farmhouse and then renovated with extreme care and attention to detail. Original terracotta floors and ceilings with ancient exposed beams, old traditional Tuscan furniture, flowery fabrics that dress beds and armchairs, paintings, antique china and lived objects recovered from markets and junk dealers will frame your living room. Nothing here is by chance. The villa is spread over two levels and is composed on the ground floor: a large living area with a spacious living room, a very welcoming lounge completely renovated with a SAT TV area and fireplace, a kitchen equipped with everything you need, a bathroom with shower and laundry area . Going up to the first floor, through a wide staircase, you have access to the romantic and charming sleeping area thanks to its remarkable wallpapers and wooden floors. Here are 3 large double bedrooms, unique in their style, with Queen-Size beds all overlooking the private garden and enjoying a unique panorama of the Chianti hills. Finally the main bathroom, very nice, equipped with tub and shower. In the double room Michele there is AIR CONDITIONING which can be used by our guests at no additional cost
The house is surrounded by a large private garden all for the exclusive use of our guests and each window and French window overlooks it, offering wide views of the countryside; equipped with a delightful pergola equipped for outdoor lunches and dinners, BBQ and comfortable sofas where you can spend precious time reading a good book or simply chatting while sipping a good glass of wine.

The "house of Manuela" is the ideal place for those who love to stay in the heart of Chianti and offers the opportunity to alternate unforgettable moments of relaxation in nature with interesting excursions to discover the important cities of art: Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra , Pisa and Lucca. The house is located in a place easily accessible from the main roads and convenient for every need. A place to feel at home, to live in every season, among the flowers of spring, the scents of summer or among the red of the vineyards in autumn. So welcome to Manuela's house.

Beautiful stay at a lovely home.
This was the perfect escape for four friends- our only downside (which we were aware of before our trip thanks to the very helpful owner) was how remote it was- but it couldn’t have been a better location to launch from for our olive oil, wine tasting, truffle hunting experiences!

Beautiful Villa and Wonderful Host
The Villa was beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations. It was extremely clean and full of charm. I could tell every detail was well thought out. The views and garden were spectacular.
Our host, Giarda was wonderful. He welcomed us months in advance and provided great recommendations. He always answered my commincations promptly. We arrived with a surprise gift of a bottle of wine and he dropped off delicious pastries from his family's favorite bakery the day before we left.
I highly recommend this Villa and look forward to returning the next time we visit Tuscany!

Tuscany adventure
The location worked quite well for us as we visited the area. We very much enjoyed the pasta cooking class which we did on the day we arrived. It was a fun experience and would recommend it for all ages plus the dinner was delicious. We visited in early September and it was still quite hot. As noted in the description, only one bedroom has AC and we recommend the hosts add AC to at least a second bedroom. The house stayed quite warm. The 2 fans helped, however with the recent rain there were plenty of mosquitos so it was difficult to leave the windows open. The house is well equipped with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The sunsets were I credible.

Wonderful Villa, Great Location!
We had an amazing week at this beautiful villa in Tuscany. Giana and Cristina were always available to answer our questions and were great hosts who provided us with lots of information on the local sites and restaurants. The villa was clean, spacious and well appointed with everything we needed. I highly recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to Italy.

Fabulous Villa!
We had 4 adults who stayed 4 days. First of all the communication prior and during our visit with Giada was top notch. She was very prompt and provided wonderful and helpful information prior and during our stay. The arrangements she made with private chef Mirco for private dinner and cooking class was most enjoyable and delicious. She also help arrange a truffle hunt and that too was excellent. In addition she provided other helpful suggestions on places to eat and visit. All this helped to make our stay most enjoyable.
Regarding the villa it was everything we expected and more. The yard and garden areas were emasculate and very beautiful. We got great use out of the hot tub which proved to be very refreshing in the evening. The accommodations inside were clean and the pictures in VRBO were representative of how it appeared in person. Everyone in our group agree this exceeded our expectations. There are so many personal touches that made the villa feel like home yet the refurbished villa still had that Tuscany charm. Having the outdoor patio and country side view was priceless. In the end we spent very little time inside and really enjoyed outdoors.
Only one of the bedrooms had AC which proved not to be a issue. With the windows open and the cool breeze at night things cooled nicely even when day time temps hit the mid 90's. We would rent from Giada should we ever return to Tuscany. Gratzee!!!

Wonderful
The villa was exactly what we were looking for. Cristina was always available to answer questions and offer suggestions for supermarkets, restaurants, etc. She was especially helpful when mid stay, the USA required a negative COVID test for re-enter, Cristina & Giada got our family tested at a local clinic!
We all enjoyed the special Tuscany dinner prepared by chef Vilma. Thank you for a memorable family vacation!

Wunderbares Haus in toller Lage
Wir waren mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar 2 Wochen in der Villa Manuela. Die Kommunikation mit den Eigentümern im Vorfeld unseres Besuchs war schnell und freundlich, Fragen wurden umgehend und immer zu unserer 100% igen Zufriedenheit beantwortet. Sogar eine Kiste nur in Italien lieferbarer Limoncello wurde für uns bestellt und stand bei der Ankunft bereit. Klasse Service !
Einige Tage vor Ankunft meldetet sich die freundliche Hausverwalterin Christina bei uns. Von da an sehr unkomplizierte Kommunikation über WhatsApp in Englisch. Christina empfing uns bei Ankunft am Haus. Neben der üblichen Einweisung erhielten wir jede Menge gute Tipps für Restaurants, Bäcker, Metzger, .... und Aktivitäten. Auch während unseres Aufenthaltes war Christina bei Bedarf immer erreichbar.
Haus und Garten sind ein Traum. Die Bilder sind realistisch, da ist nichts geschönt, so sieht es wirklich aus. Große Terrasse mit Lounge Möbeln und ein großer Esstisch, absolut ruhig. Ebenso ein gemauerter Grill. Der Jacuzzi Pool im Garten hat gut 30 Grad warmes Wasser und ist klasse. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Haus und Garten top sauber.
An 2 angekündigten Tagen kam der Besitzer früh am Morgen um nach dem Garten zu sehen und den Pool zu säubern, haben wir nichts von mitbekommen, außer das frisches Gebäck auf dem Terassentisch für uns abgelegt war, klasse.
Das Hotel nebenan ist weder optisch noch akustisch auch nur im geringsten störend. Es ist nichts zu hören und der Ausblick von Terrasse und Garten ein Traum. Sogar die Türme von San Gimiano sind deutlich zu sehen.
Wir würden jederzeit wieder die Villa Manuela besuchen. Besonderer Dank nochmal an die immer freundliche und hilfsbereite Hausverwalterin Christina.

Ein perfekter Aufenthalt
Dieses Ferienhaus lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig. Das Haus ist anspruchsvoll renoviert, die Innenausstattung ist gemütlich und die Zimmer großzügig. Für Selbstversorger bietet die Küche alles, was man braucht, inklusive Grill im Außenbereich. Wir liebten es, uns auf der großen Terrasse und dem wunderschönen gepflegten Garten mit Whirlpool aufzuhalten mit dem Blick auf die grünen Hügel der Toskana inklusive den Türmen des Weltkulturerbes San Gimignano.
Wir wurden von den Gastgebern herzlich empfangen und die Kommunikation war unkompliziert und hilfreich in allen Bereichen. Insgesamt ein perfekter Aufenthalt.
