Lovely apt, very accommodating host. The village is cute and small with a nice cafe and beautiful views. Note that the apt is not heated as it is a summer rental, but we found it to be quite comfortable with extra blankets provided by the housekeeper.
The lovely barn house in Strada-in-Chianti was our home for a 4-night stay in Tuscany.
It is set atop one of the countryside's hills, the living room picture window frames vintage Toscana: a rolling landscape of cypress trees, vineyards, olive groves, punctuated by the occasional tile-roofed stone house. Tile, bricks and stone are our own house's theme. From the patio roof to the vaulted ceiling to the arched doorways, down to the floor--we have nothing to fear from the big, bad... More »

My family and I had a great time staying in Ponte Agli Stolli at Luca's place. It was fabulous and a nice central part of Chianti, easy to access Firenze etc. The home is very beautiful and definately charming. I highly recommend it!
The place is indeed "cozy," but it worked just fine. The place is a half hour outside of the center of Florence, but the bus that takes you in town stops right next to the place where the David is housed. It is only a few blocks to the Duomo from there. Luca's mother,Laura,a great help. There are two very good enotecas nearby.
location simple, charmante et vraiment bien située dans une belle campagne. Le bus pour Florence est juste devant la porte et la voie rapide pour aller à Sienne ou san geminiano est toute proche. Parfais pour rayonner dans tout le chianti.
Luca fue muy amable y muy atento. A pesar de que no lo9 vimos personalmente se comunico con nosotras y nos ayudo con todo. La habitacion es muy pequeña, a penas una cama y un baño. Lo unico fue que el wifi no funcionaba cuando fuimos y no lo sabiamos, pero lo demas todo perfecto
Wonderful house in greve in chianti. Perfect location, short distance from Siena, Firenze, and many small quaint villages and wine tasting routes. The house was equipped with all the necessary amenities, wonderful fireplace with ample wood and barbecue outside. Hot water, spacious, wonderful kitchen and beautiful views. The owners Giancarlo and Luca and Laura were fantastic - giving us tips to tour in the area and making sure we were comfortable and happy. I HIGHLY recomend this house to... More »
Luca is a great host, we didn't have the chance to meet him personally but we was very communicative, and responded generously to all of our questions. Settignago is a magical place, amazing scenery and some really unforgettable walks, I was very happy we made it a stop on our trip. When we were there (right after New Years) the local restaurants were closed but Florence is only a 20min bus ride so no one went hungry ;) The room is just like in the pictures, definitely cozy but impeccably...

We had a wonderful five days at this house. We are a family with 3 teenagers, and wanted to have a base to visit different small towns in Tuscany + Florence and it turned out great to use this house as our base. The hosts, Giancarla and her husband, were super friendly, even opened up a bottle of Chianti wine to share with us on our arrival!
The house is beautiful and has been recently renovated, it is spacious and has all appliances you may need, all of them brand new. As it was winter,... More »
luca
came and went as the wind
he was kind enough to call after, thanking for the hospitality.
hope to meet him a as i wash there in the day he arrived.
Luca is a very smart person and a great traveller.
He lived many years abroad, interacting with different cultures.
Because of his travelling experience and his convivial character I think he really nows how to enjoy a pleasent stay.
Luca is one of the most curious travellers I have ever met. He is always looking for attractions off the beaten track and tries his best to get to know as much as possible about the culture and the people when going somewhere new. It’s always a pleasure to travel with him.
Luca can be considered a great traveler, he lived abroad for many years and this has had to deal with different living situations. With his past experience he knows what are the requirements necessary to spend a pleasant and relaxing stay in an environment as comfortable and familiar.
