On a hill overlooking the Antinori vineyards, this accommodation in Tuscany offers breathtaking views in an absolutely fantastic location. With the possibility of cooking lessons and many activities around the area, this Tuscany holiday accommodation will never leave you at a loss for something to do. And of course this accommodation in an apartment in Tuscany is also perfectly situated for exploring the Chianti, from Florence to Siena and everything in between.

  We enjoyed ourselves very much. The apartment was comfortable and the views wonderful. It was quiet and very relaxing. We slept more than normal -- probably because the inside shutters kept it so dark in the morning. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
  
  The rural location -- both for the scenery and the quiet.
  
  The twin beds in our room. We let our friends have the King bedroom.
  
  This is one of a number of apartments in a restored stone farmhouse situated on a hilltop over looking vineyards. You can see the reception area for the management office below and villages on surrounding hilltops. It is a lovely, typically rural Tuscan view.

  We fell in love with the property. It was great for me, my husband and my two children. It was also extremely maintained.
  
  The master bedroom was spacious and it offered privacy with its own luxurious private bath. The views from the bedroom and terrace were breathtaking. In addition, a breakfast basket was offered every morning containing cereals, pate, toast, jams, milk, juice and more. Thank you for the recommendation!
  
  The electricity went out due to a rainstorm once.
