The Dream in Tuscany
This property exceeded our expectation and was fantastic. Juergen and Gabi were the best hosts anyone could hope to have when staying abroad. Every recommendation for food, touring or wine tasting was absolutely spot on. We will be back and have already been recommending to our friends and family.

Wonderful villa in the heart of Tuscany
We really enjoyed our 10 day stay, beds were comfortable and everything was clean, the pool was fantastic with an amazing view. Lots of space for two couples to relax and unwind yet within an hour of all the major towns and attractions. Jurgen was responsive to our needs and even helped us with the pizza oven. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Lovely house and location, could do with updating in places
Our family had a wonderful 10 day stay in August 24. The house is lovely and well equipped. The swimming pool is magnificent size for a villa. The bedrooms were excellent and large.
The communication with Gabrielle and Jurgen was fantastic and very fast.
Downstairs could do with aircon, especially during a Tuscan summer!!!. We thought the whole house would have it and not just the bedrooms, especially at the price we were paying. Suggesting keeping the curtains close did not help and also meant we were missing the view.
The downstairs shower needs repair and the kitchen was a bit ‘tired’ and could do with updating.
Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Paradise!
A beautiful home in a peaceful oasis! This house is perfectly situated with easy access to Volterra for shopping and restaurants but also a beautiful country setting. Our hosts were so kind and attentive. We will definitely be back to stay again!
The house has everything you need to pass a lovely holiday. We especially appreciated to comfortable large beds and lovely soaker tub. We visited over Easter and the weather did not cooperate but we look forward to returning in the summer time to enjoy the large swimming pool. Even in poor weather we had a lovely stay with cozy evening fires and afternoon walks in the surrounding countryside.

The home was gorgeous, comfortable, well appointed and hosts could not have been nicer and more responsive. They even offered to drive us to dinner one night! The house and kitchen have everything you could need and their recommendations for restaurants and tour guides made the trip! We would absolutely stay here again and look forward to doing just that!

The property has a relaxed elegance with several indoor and outdoor living spaces to eat, work or just rest.

Beyond our Tuscan dreams
Trip of a liferime. Everyone’s favorite part of this vacation, the Villa This remote retreat is set about 10 minutes away from Volterra. Gabbi and Jurgen are the most delightful hosts. They treated us and our two young grandchildren like family. All their recommendations were spot on. The setting was movie -like. The renovated villa is as charming as the hosts. The house was spotlessly, clean, and well equipped. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The kitchen is eat- in and has all the amenities. You definitely need a car.. there is so much to explore, but this was our most perfect and magical home base.

Wonderful stay in Volterra
We had a Wonderful stay at Chiassale. The property is beautiful nestled in the Tuscan hills. The house was well stocked. We enjoyed eating, enjoying some Tuscan wines and visiting on the comfortable outdoor patio. The hosts Gabi and Jurgen could not be more helpful. They had Wonderful suggestions of where to eat and were helpful in making reservations. The house is wonderfully located to many of the beautiful Tuscany towns. We later wished we had booked the place for an extra day or two.

Jürgen and Gabi were incredible hosts, available for any questions and just a lovely couple. The town of Volterra (about 15 mins) is a hidden gem and we made 2 trips to visit. Well situated to Siena, Florence and Lucca. We would absolutely stay again and were sad to leave the beautiful views!

Wat was het geweldig!
Vanaf dag 1 goede en snelle communicatie. Jurgen heeft ons opgehaald van het vliegveld en was zeer aardig en heeft ons tijdens de rit ons veel verteld over de omgeving. Huis was netjes en schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien en ook nog eens gezellig! Wij hadden via Jurgen een zeiltocht geboekt en de laatste avond hebben twee hele lieve Italiaanse dames een diner voor ons bereid, die overigens heerlijk was. Het zwembad is groot en ligt wat hoger waardoor je mooi uitzicht hebt vanaf het zwembad maar die heb je ook al vanaf het huis. Een auto heb je hier zeker nodig en alles ligt toch wel een uurtje rijden van het huis. Als je dat allemaal geen probleem vindt dat is dit zeker een grote aanrader!
