Nice Tuscany villa

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.

Better than expected.

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.

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.

Bellisima!

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!

Another Wonderful Stay

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.

Beautiful Home in the Heart of Tuscany

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.

Fantastic Week

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!

Tuscany Gem

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.

Heaven in Castellina

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 don’t do the villa justice. The layout and details are fantastic, the kitchen is wonderful, beds comfy and the showers amazing. Julie’s 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 it’s 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.

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.

Fabulous vacation home!

Thanks to Erik and Chama and Majid for making our stay at Podere Gabbianuzzo such a wonderful experience. The house easily accommodated us and our guests and there were many days when we wanted to do nothing but simply enjoy the property and not wander around Tuscany! But wander we did, and Gabbianuzzo was a superb jumping off point. The people of Castellina in Chianti were friendly and welcoming and Erik and Julie pointed us to many people who provided yummy meals and delicious pastries! Of course, we ventured out on our own, but the extremely helpful information prepared by Erik and Julie was invaluable as we made decisions about where to explore. All of our guests sat around the dining table poring over the booklets to plan their days. Those who followed the suggestions about Florence and Siena said they were perfect! The kitchen was well-equipped; in fact we could have had several big parties if only we had known people to invite!. Thank you for your contributions to our wonderful holiday. Our 2 1/2 year-old grandson keeps asking to go back on the plane to his Italy home! And we loved Chama and Majid, who despite the language barriers, were extremely helpful and good-natured. Grazie!

Beautiful Tuscany

We stayed at Gabbianuzzo for 3 weeks in late May to the middle of June. I already miss the villa. Not only was it beautiful and highly functional, it is very old and has been refitted with electricity, a great kitchen, beautiful bedrooms, modern bathrooms, and a pool. There is room to stretch out, privacy, and plenty of hot water. The surrounding vista of wooded hills, vineyards, olive trees, and flowers from every window in the villa and the wonderful terraces is a peaceful setting you can rarely find anymore. We had great dinners outside in the loggia. Castellina is a typical village to visit and shop just not for groceries. And the gelato is good there too! The train station in Castellina in Scalo is only 20 minutes away and makes the trips to Firenze, Siena, Pisa, and Venice easy if you do not choose to drive. There are also many villages and restaurants to visit within short distances. The wineries are many and tasting is great. The pool is a nice way to spend part of a warmer day although the house with its thick walls stays very cool. If you do rent a car, get one with high clearance as the dirt road into Gabbianuzzo, although verry good, can be challenging. All that Erik and Julie write about their villa is true and you will discover more if you are lucky enough to visit! Overall, Gabbianuzzo is the best!

The Perfect “Under the Tuscan Sun” Home

Our family of 13 had a memorable stay in this beautiful home. The home is perfectly spaced so everyone had enough room for themselves. The large updated kitchen and beautiful outdoor loggia were able to accommodate our big group. We spent hours on the terrace in the morning, and late afternoon watching the scenic green forest, grape vines, olive trees, an occasional deer, and listening to the birds sing. The pool was great to cool down in on a hot day. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and exactly what we had hoped it would be. The town of Castellina is charming and had a personality of its own. We immediately fell in love with it: the stores, shop owners, bars and restaurants. The people are welcoming and friendly. The home is centrally located for day trips to: Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Florence, and Chianti Wine tasting. We hope to return again one day. The welcome guides are extremely helpful and detailed to help you make the most of your stay. Thank you Erik and Julie for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

This home is lovely and graceful in every way!

Gabbianuzzo is an exceptional property! The landscape and location are beautiful and private. The surrounding views are breathtaking. The architecture of the house is stone, and the owner has done an amazing job of integrating into the 1790 original frame. You are immersed in the authentic terra of Tuscany. Surrounded by olive trees, grapes, lavender. The long private gravel road down to the farmhouse is an adventure and makes for the best stories! This home is lovely and graceful in every way. Our family did not want to leave! LIfelong memories were made in this farmhouse by 3 generations. The very long loggia farmhouse dining table was thoughtfully set up for our big family in advance. Magical summer dinners Under the Tuscan Sun. The property team is wonderful, very attentive and easy to communicate with. They responded quickly via text, email, whatsapp. All of the local shopping, dinner, recommendations were outstanding, and key to planning our week. Bedrooms are perfectly set up with quality sheets and pillows. Castellina is a quick drive and has yummy provisions plus so much more (wine, olive oils, vegetables, cheese shops) to set up your kitchen and cook. The local Co-op is a fun shop, We quickly filled both fridges with salami, figs, prosecco and pastas. There are many delicious restaurants and wineries within 10-15 minutes away. We are coming back! .
