Chianti of course is mainly famous for its wine and its very special extravirgin oil but it is also a wonderful land to explore and visit. It offers many oppurtunies for daily or half daily trips around with different destinations that can be easily reached within one hour or less driving. Just to mantion few: S.

“Holiday rental that ticked all the right boxes!”
We chose Borgo Rosa for our long term stay in Italy, as it fitted all the criteria that were important to us., We planned to stay in Tuscany for 2 to 3months, so we were looking for accomodation that was reasonably priced, self contained and comfortable, with mod cons such as washing machine and dryer, air conditions and heating, a functional kitchen, pleasant surrounds and a swimming pool to cool off in during hot August days. We also wanted to be within reasonable driving distance from all the towns and villages that we wanted to visit. We also wanted to be able to walk to a nearby village for coffee ( very important ) and to be able to shop for staples, without necessarily having to drive. Borgo Rosa is situated in Chianti, near San Casciano in Val di Pesa, and Mercatale was our nearest village. We were a 5 minute drive from the autostrada between Siena and Florence. Less than half an hour from Florence and 45 minutes from Siena. Perfect! We stayed initially in Suite 3, a one bedroom appartment, and later in the season moved to Suite 4, with two bedrooms. Both were perfect for our needs, tastefully decorated and most comfortable. Each had, like all the other suites, a private garden area and/or terrace which we could use for outdoor eating, and were within the larger property of olive groves, with pool and a BBQ! Very important for Aussies! Our fellow guests were charming, some with families and some gravelling in groups, of diverse origins, which made life interesting. Our host, Andrea was perfectly delightful. He was full of information re local places, events and most importantly, eating places, and was happy to drive us to where we wanted to go until we organised a car. He went out of his way to give help when needed, and we would look forward to hearing his morning " hello" when checking on us. My one and only complaint would be that Andrea was keen to practise his English, when I was keen to practise my Italian! Having grown up and lived in Floorence, meant that he was full of inside information from where to park, how to avoid limited traffic zones and restaurants frequented by locals, with wonderful food. We ended by becoming very good friends and we wouldn't hesitate to return should we be lucky enough to do so.
