Quiet and Beautiful Property, Large Pool, Airco in bedrooms
Beautiful 18th century property in the heart of the Chianti region, absolutely quiet location, equipped with a large pool (16m x 5m), airco in all the bedrooms. Ideal for groups of 6 - 16 people. Recently renovated with charm and all modern comfort. Situated at only a few kilometers of the reknown village of Castellina in Chianti.The house is surrounded by an olive orchard, vineyards and forest. Beautiful views.
We came to Gabbianuzzo for a family celebration with grand-parents, parents and children and we all had an fantastic stay. Erik's villa is a wonderful and vast old house renovated with taste, with all comfort, in a dream situation in the Chianti. We visited Pisa, Sienna, Florence, San Giminiano and mother other places. We love to cook and we had pleasure to cook delicious local products in the fully equiped kitchen - or ordering at the town close by. Chama and Madjid who received us were very nice and responsive. We hope to go back one day to enjoy the swimming-pool!
GroĂes Haus, gut ausgestattete KĂŒche fĂŒr groĂe Gruppen, ruhige Lage mit Fernblick. Es sind 800 steile Meter Schotter bis zur HauptstraĂe, wir mussten unsere RennrĂ€der dorthin hochschieben. Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Ort. Der Poolbereich ist sehr schön, das Haus hat Charme und etwas Patina, wie bei Ă€lteren LandhĂ€usern ĂŒblich. Kommunikation mit Vermieter sehr gut.
Erik, the host is very friendly and communications were timely & great. The housekeeper, Carolina (and her kids) were very helpful /responsive in the checkin, cleaning and checkout process. Thank you Erik for the villa.. we had a fun time!
This country villa is spacious enough for the 8 of us, with individualized AC in bedrooms, and heater controls on each floor. The kitchen is well equipped and large for multiple cooks, dining space is great, and the balcony accomodates our Happy Hour (when it was sunny). The pool at the upper terrace is big but the cooler climate did not permit us much swimming. The outdoor space has nice terraced landscaped. Great backyard views of Tuscan hills and vineyards. We saw wild boars, deers, and a fox.
Villa location is great, as it is a great base for all day trips to nearby Etruscan/Roman cities/towns in Tuscany, and there are many to explore. So many nearby great Chianti Classico wineries. Downtown Castellina and Panzano are about 10 minutes away, and are full of local shops and
restaurants. People are very, very friendly.
The 0.5 mile gravel driveway is steep at certain sections. May consider a SUV rental for high clearance.
The house was fantastic and had more than enough space for our large family. What was particularly great was the large table where we always ate before we went to the very large swimming pool.
The villa was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the villa and the gorgeous view. We had 3 rental cars. The one drawback was the gravel driveway. The steep inclines and the ditch on the syof the road was very concerning to every driver
That was are only problem. It can use work.
Thanks

We absolutely enjoyed every second of our stay. Views were crazy nice, stars at night incredible, rooms huge and bathrooms even bigger than we imagined. Handbooks and guides provided are perfect, internet and sonos right on. Kitchen more than enough cooking/eating supplies. Same w towels/linens etc. Pool was nice although we spent most our time off property doing the tourist thing, We picked this location for access to all of Tuscany and worked out well. Even the little town of Castellina had good restaurants and great deli for pick up and eating back at the Villa. We had 10 adults and never felt crowded, and all our out-of-town guest loved the stay. Erik is a stand up host. Good Job Erik! We look forward to coming back in 2026 for more than just 11 days.
Due to delays this trip was four years in the making...we had our son and his family of four (daughter in college was unavailable unfortunately) our daughter and her family of four and her in-laws for two weeks and our stay was extended another week. The property was wonderful the town of Castellina wonderful and accommodating. Weather was great didn't realize that September is the busiest for Italy, would probably make the next visit later in Sept. early October.
Our group had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in the countryside of Tuscany. While a bit difficult to find, the directions and GPS coordinates helped immensely and we enjoyed every minute of our quiet stay here. The property is near an adorable town, Castellina in Chianti, and perfectly located for day trips to Siena, Florence and even Volterra. We were surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was (perfect for chefs to cook & lots of refrigerator space to keep things cool!) and our kids loved using the pool and playing soccer/football in the historic courtyard at sunset. The house is exactly what I would expect for a property in Tuscany, no fuss, but very comfortable with laundry and air con for hot nights. Erik, the host, was also very responsive when we had some issues with the air con in the first few days and helped us get that fixed quickly. Our group made a pact to come back in 10 years if you will have us, Erik! We really enjoyed our stay and thank you for all of your help and sharing your home with us!
This is the second time we have stayed at this wonderful villa. There were 8 of us in the group and it was fun watching the 4 people who hadn't stayed there before delight in discovering this amazing property. There is plenty of space to spread out with several different sitting areas and the wonderful patio that overlooks farms and vineyards as far as the eye can see. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped which makes it fun to cook all the wonderful items to be found in local farmers markets. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
We absolutely loved this home. So many wonderful places for our family to gather: dinner in the loggia, relaxing at the pool, and drinks on the terrace where we planned the evening meal that we prepared in the well-stocked kitchen. Everyone has their own space. The location was perfect. From here we explored from Florence to Montepulciano and from Pisa to Montevarchi. We loved Castellina as our favorite home base. The shower pressure is amazing. We enjoyed sitting out after dinner admiring the stars and hearing the wild boar off in the distance.
We stayed in this big, beautiful, old farmhouse for our last week of a big tour of Italy. It was brilliant. The owners have thought of everything! It's incredibly well equipped. They even have written tour guides of the local area, Florence and anything you may need to google! The pool is amazing, built on an old olive terrace, surrounded by olive trees and rosemary bushes with views over the valley. We went on trips to Florence, San Gimingnano, Siena and the local village is lovely with everything you need, plus an exceptional view especially at sunset. I would thoroughly recommend it, we were only a family of 5 but it would also be great for 2 families holidaying together, there's plenty of space. Thanks!
This large, rambling Tuscan villa was perfect for our family, with six adults and six children ages 4-12. It features many bedrooms and areas to eat together, read, play, or just hang out. The property is beautifully landscaped and maintained, with a large swimming pool which was a perfect place to relax and cool off after visiting any of the many towns, wineries and sites which are easily accessible within 20 to 45 minutes from the property. The town of Castellina in Chianti, less than 10 minutes by car, is charming itself, with many dining options and all of our shopping needs. Our family had a week filled with memories of a lifetime.
Gabbianuzzo was just what we hoped. It is a little piece of paradise in Chianti. We were 11 family members with plenty of room for everyone. The pool was terrific and enjoyed by all. The beauty of the surroundings made for a relaxing, refreshing environment every moment. The village of Castellina was an oasis. We are so happy we had this experience.
Das Haus hat uns vollends ĂŒberzeugt. Waren mit 16 Personen, die HĂ€lfte davon Kinder, im wundervollen Chianti. Sehr liebevoll und gemĂŒtlich eingerichtet und super ausgestattet. Schade, dass das Wetter immer so schön war, hĂ€tten gern auch mal die gemĂŒtlichen Wohnzimmer genutzt. KĂŒche fĂŒr viele Personen groĂzĂŒgig ausgestattet. Ăbergabe und auch Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war problemlos. Der Pool ist sehr lang und wurde ausgiebig fĂŒr Wasserballschlachten genutzt. Der Pflanzungen ringsum haben einen wunderbares Bild abgegeben. Es liegt recht abgelegen, der Zufahrtsweg ist evtl nicht fĂŒr jedes Fahrzeug geeignet. DafĂŒr hat man die Gelegenheit viele Tiere zu hören und manchmal auch zu sehen. Siena, Florenz oder auch Castellina sind abwechslungsreiche Ausflugsziele. Einige unserer Familie sind Ausreiten gegangen, was super geklappt hat, nur leider die jĂŒngste Pferdebegeisterte durfte nicht mit, leider erst ab 14 Jahren möglich!
Wir sind schweren Herzens wieder nachhause gefahren.
Der liebevoll restaurierte Bauernhof liegt einsam in einem Tal in der NĂ€he des StĂ€dtchens Castellina in Chianti (10 Minuten mit dem Pkw). Die groĂe KĂŒche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Das GelĂ€nde ist weitlĂ€ufig und der groĂe Pool perfekt fĂŒr sportliches Schwimmen und entspanntes Plantschen. Es gibt in und um das Anwesen viel zu entdecken an Flora und Fauna (Rehe, FledermĂ€use..). Es gibt sowohl Orte, an denen man sich in groĂer Gruppe (maximal 16 Personen) gesellig zusammenfinden kann als auch RĂŒckzugsorte fĂŒr GroĂ und Klein. Die EigentĂŒmer haben in liebevoll und sorgfĂ€ltig gestalteten Heften in englischer und französischer Sprache zahlreiche wertvolle Tipps und Informationen z.Bsp. zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten zusammengestellt.
Es ist ein Ort mit einer schönen und positiven AtmosphĂ€re, der sich fĂŒr einen Mehrgenerationenurlaub sehr gut eignet. Die bisherigen positiven Bewertungen, die mich neben dem sehr angenehmen schriftlichen Kontakt mit dem Vermieter zu der Buchung motiviert haben, sind aus meiner Sicht wohlverdient.
Es ist jedoch anzumerken, dass ein Schlafraum mit eigenem Bad , die sich im vormaligen Esel- bzw. HĂŒhnerstall befinden, eine SouterrainatmosphĂ€re haben. Die Zufahrt zu dem Anwesen besteht aus einer SchotterstraĂe ( ca 1000 Meter). Diese fĂŒhrt auf und ab und ist sehr uneben. Eine Herausforderung fĂŒr normale PKWs und Fahrer (Aufsetzgefahr.) ).
We stayed for a week and truly enjoyed every minute there. Beautiful morning and evening views from the terrace, cozy evenings around the fire. The photos donât do the villa justice. The layout and details are fantastic, the kitchen is wonderful, beds comfy and the showers amazing. Julieâs lovely guidebooks gave great suggestions for enjoying Castellina and the surrounding area. I gave the location four stars only because the villa is a ten minute drive to town and itâs not easily walkable to town. Check-in was very smooth. I had a bit of trouble connecting with the manager at a couple points but Erik was very quick to respond via email. I know I will dream of returning one day to Gabbianuzzo. It is the ideal place to experience the Chianti region and all it has to offer.
The property was exactly what we were looking for. In the middle of Chianti, perfectot
Perfect location in the heart of Chianti. The farmhouse was well equipped from the kitchen to the bedrooms. Bathrooms were great and exceeded expectations. Easy to have a chef come and prepare an excellent meal. The landscape was stunning, vineyards hills and valleys and wildlife. Erik was accommodating Waco made the rental process easy. I would recommend to best friends as well as anyone who asked.
