Greve in Chianti Villa | Luxurious Tuscan Estate - La Valle 12 Miles from Florence

5 Bedroom Villa in Greve in Chianti, Strada in Chianti

This property is located just 12 miles from the center of Florence and from the moment you pass through the iron gates you will feel as though you have entered another world as time stands still. Nestled in the verdant hills of pristine Chianti landscape lies La Valle, a 16th Century Casa Colonica. Many centuries ago it was a farm house and guard tower for the nearby Castello Mugnana. Magnificently restored and we, the owners, paid exquisite attention to every detail. Furnished with 18th century Country French antiques, chandelier lit throughout, and adorned with European fabrics and accessories, this home will at once take your breath away and make you feel enveloped by warmth.
The three bedrooms in the main house all have en-suite bathrooms. All of the beds have top of the line mattresses and the master has a Duxiana bed, said to be the finest in the world. The marble master bath has a soaking tub and two person steam shower. The kitchen has hand hewn French cabinetry, and is equipped with everything for the most discerning of gourmet cooks. The family room has a massive stone fireplace which can be used for cooking, an entertainment system and a vast selection of movies and music. The stone floors throughout and the thick walls provide a cooler temperature in the summer months although every window is screened, all bedrooms are air conditioned, and fans are provided as well.
The guest house, just across the front patio and down a few steps, has its own kitchen, marble bath, and fireplace, and sleeps 4 comfortably. The property is ideal for three to four couples and/or families with children.
There are 3 separate terraces with tables and seating, each with a more gorgeous view than the next. The BOSE Entertainment system provides music to the pool and patio areas. The tumbled marble salt water pool is 5x12 meters and has an electric cover. The pool area has lots of lounge chairs and large umbrellas for reading or sunbathing and there are vistas that overlook two nearby castles. There is an organic garden for the use of our guests adjacent to the wood fired pizza oven and barbecue where you can dine alfresco under the beautiful grape vine covered pergola.
There are miles and miles of hiking trails right outside the door and a Roman road which dates back over 2000 years. You can find waterfalls and a swimming hole within a 15 minute hike from the house.
The Superstrada and Autostrada are within 15 minutes by car. The village of Strada in Chianti is 4 km away where there are a few restaurants, food markets, a Tuesday small open air market and a pharmacy. The town of Greve is 8 km away where you will find a fabulous Saturday open air market, wine tasting, shopping and cafes. The towns of Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca, Montepulciano, and Montalcino are all close day trips from the property. Florence is 20 km away.
We welcome those who have an appreciation for beauty and history as La Valle encompasses the best of Tuscan life.

Summary: We were warmly greeted by the amazing house managers Daniele and Tracey who live in a separate home on property. They showed us the lay of the land and how everything operated. They took care of any issue however small quickly. Two of our daughters took a bedroom each within the main house and the third was happy to reside in the guest cottage by herself. There was plenty of room for everyone! My husband who is an avid cyclist rented a bike from a local shop who delivered and picked the bike up from the villa. He went on several 60 mile rides through the region while we relaxed poolside. In the afternoons we took day trips to Florence and several towns within an hours drive. Definitely hire Chef Laura for extra meals. She is amazing and so talented. She taught us how to make pasta in the villa’s kitchen and it was a great family activity. Barry and Jody were lovely to deal with before we arrived and are very knowledgeable about all things and places. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your amazing home!

Summary: I've been planning for this dream vacation for over 10 years, and I'm beyond thrilled to have chosen this magical place for it. The photos do not do the beauty of this villa justice, it far exceeded any and all expectations. The host was phenomenal, helping us plan for the best possible vacation, and the property managers, Tracey and Danele, were truly the ones that made this trip so special. Close to a plethora of incredible restaurants, towns, and amazing Tuscan countryside, I cannot recommend this place enough. A huge thank you for allowing us to enjoy your speciplace.

Summary: La Valle is the most amazing property with a fantastic, perfectly appointed home with the kindest, most caring and gracious caregivers, Tracy and Daniele. There aren't enough adjectives to describe it all. The location of the estate is great. 30 minute quick trip to Florence, 10 minutes to a nearby town, an hour to Sienna and San Gimiano. The property itself is breathtaking and immaculately kept and cared for. We spent every afternoon enjoying the beautiful pool and sat on the patio for dinner and drinks on multiple evenings. The sweeping Tuscan views look like something out of a postcard. The house itself is spacious and gorgeously decorated. We are a family of five with three teenagers and two parents and there was more than enough space for everyone to have their own privacy but also have spaces for coming together. The kitchen is amazing and has everything you could need should you decide to cook! But just as wonderful as the home and the property are Tracy and Daniele who helped with anything and everything we needed and are caring, interesting wonderful people. Having the beds made each day as well as the dishes done was a true treat. Getting to know them was even better! They helped with everything from reaching out to a chef to set up a dinner at home for us to making sure the espresso maker was prepped and ready for each morning! Finally, the first evening meal with Chef Fabrizio was a true Tuscan treat from a personable and fabulous chef! Amazing!!!

Summary: We had the most wonderful time at the villa. Very easy to get to Florence and the grounds are truly lovely. Santi and Luli are now our friends and Fabrizio the chef is magnificent. Our kids loved the pool, picking vegetables and fruit and running all around. The kitchen is great and easy to use, and their guides make your stay fun to plan. I can't imagine why we wouldn't be back! Thank you so much.

Summary: This is a perfect Villa for your vacation. It is stunningly beautiful in a great location for easy day trips throughout Tuscany. We were a group ranging from 8 to 80 and everyone enjoyed their stay. The welcome dinner with Fabrizio was excellent. The beds and furnishings were very comfortable. Having Netflix made it easy for the kids to wind down after a day of touring while the adults sat outside with a bottle of wine and took in the view. We made pizza’s in the wood fired oven and roasted chicken on the grill, and everyone loved the pool. You really don’t need to look any further. This is an excellent home for your vacation!

Summary: My family of four adults and two young children stayed 3 weeks in June. The grounds of the property are magical; gardens and views everywhere you look. The inside was cozy and had all the amenities needed. Santi and Luli took extremely good care of us and acted as concierges, cooks (extra service) and friends. We loved our stay and will come again. Thank you Jody, Barry, Santi and Luli

Summary: Le Valle is nothing short of magical. You feel the familiar comfort of being at home while at the same being pampered and cared for by the wonderful hosts, Lucia and Santiago. The view, the villa, the grounds, the pool(!), and the vibe were second to none and surpassed all our dreams. The best meals we had during our 2 week European adventure were created by Fabrizio. He is not only a world class chef, but a world class human being. Would love to come back again. Highly recommend.

Summary: Everything about this beautiful property was perfect for our group of family and friends. The villa and guest house are appointed for comfort and enjoyment. (Coffee lovers in our group were delighted to start each day with cappuccinos brewed in the professional espresso machine!) We rotated among the four outdoor eating locations, enjoying the views of olive groves, the Tuscan hills, and the sun setting behind the nearby castle. Caretakers Santiago and Lucia ensured that we were well taken care of throughout our week and we loved our welcome dinner and pizza making class with chef Fabrizio. The location allowed for easy trips into Florence and the surrounding countryside. We had very active days, and days spent on site, hiking the trail that surrounds the villa and lounging by the pool. (The pool was especially popular with our tweens, as was the chess set!) Le Valle more than lives up to the reviews and the description you’ll find here. It was the centerpiece of a fantastic Tuscan experience.

Summary: Gorgeous property with all the comforts of home. Santiago and Lucia were phenomenal caretakers all week of our family and the property. The owners are extremely responsive and have thought through almost anything you could need while staying here. Loved the La Marzocco espresso machine as well! Thank you!

Summary: So many great things to say about Le Valle. Leading up to our stay, Barry and Jody were frequent contact, providing detailed information about the house and surrounding area. They were quick to respond to any question and gave well informed recommendations for restaurants, wineries, activities, and even parking in Florence! On the day of arrival, Santiago and Lucia, the property caretakers were there to meet us and give us the grand tour. A welcome dinner provided by chef Fabrizio was the perfect finish to our arrival day as he is both affable and a skilled chef. The property itself is located about 30 minutes from Florence and within approximately an hour of many notable towns like Siena and Volterra. The house is away from the hustle and bustle of Florence and basically in the countryside near Strada in Chianti. The house and guest house are as advertised and depicted in the listing. There entire property was ours and included a fantastic pool and multiple outdoor areas to relax. Wood burning pizza oven? Yep. Garden with countless tomatoes, basil, lettuce available to pick and eat? Yep. Plum tree with tasty fruit? Of course. The kitchen is well equipped including a top of the line espresso maker to provide the best espresso you could ask for. All the bed rooms have air conditioners and the guest house living room is also air conditioned. The main house living areas were cool enough even in the middle of the summer heat wave if you strategically kept the doors and windows closed during the middle of the day and opened the windows in the evenings. Santiago and Lucia were super friendly and always available for any issues. They provided basic cleaning and trash removal on most days. If you want to truly immerse yourself in storybook Tuscany, this is the place to go. Thanks to Barry and Jody for sharing their incredible estate!
