Photos and Description of this Cavriglia holiday farmhouse 3 Apartments for 4, 2 and 2, swimming pool, private garden

Deep in the hills of Chianti and nestled between the provinces of Siena, Arezzo and Florence, lies Il Colombaio, a characteristic and charming old farm house situated in silvery-green olive groves overlooking Chianti grape vineyards and the Arno Valley. The property is composed of three buildings: the farmhouse, the hayloft and the stable. The farmhouse is inhabited by its owners, Andrea and Marina, and has an independent apartment on the ground floor; the hayloft and the stable have been trasformed into two small houses. The buildings are surrounded by an olive grove and an extensive lawn where the swimming pool is located, in an isolated and panoramic position. Il Colombaio offers a discreet environment and the typical atmosphere of Tuscan farms; it is a great place to relax in tranquillity, but is also the ideal point of departure for many possible day trips: either to famous art cities, cultural centres in Tuscany and in the nearby Umbria, or numerous hiking and mountain

The nearest international airports are Florence (50 km) and Pisa (120 km); Rome is 240 km away. The easy access to the motorway A1/E35 Milan-Florence-Rome (10 km) allows you to reach many interesting spots within a short time; still using pleasant and very panoramic country roads, you can reach in less than an hour the famous areas of Chianti Classico. In Cavriglia, 1,5 km from il Colombaio, you can find food shops, restaurants, bank, chemist etc. Both the towns of Montevarchi and San Giovanni Valdarno, with commercial centre, railway station and every kind of stores and services, are only 8 km away.

A haven in the heart of Tuscany

Marc and Judy Vermont, USA
Review Submitted: February 24, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
October 2007 was our second stay at Il Colombaio, and both were well worth it. The location was perfect for our needs. We were able to combine day trips to the major sites in Tuscany with a return to a quiet and restful setting in the countryside. Florence is an easy train ride away; Arrezzo and Siena are both easy to reach. Closer to home, Cavriglia has some great restaurants, a large park with a small zoo.

The accommodations are spacious, with everything we needed available. The antique furnishings are complimented with modern appliances, so the living is easy.

The setting is a lovely spot to enjoy the Tuscan hills. During our first stay we got to watch part of the olive harvest and Marina and Andrea brought us a sample of the newly pressed oil. Needless to say it was outstanding.

All in all, a great place to stay while visiting Tuscany. Marina and Andrea, (and Lucretia and Enzo) are gracious hosts who go out of their way to make everything perfect. Thanks.

Perfect for a first-time family visit to Italy

JaneandScott Panama City, Florida, USA
Review Submitted: October 15, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Il Colombaio was perfect for our family of 4 during our first visit to Italy. The children had space to explore and friendly kittens,and the pace was relaxed and flexible. We could be as private as we wanted, yet Marina was always accessible to help. We loved our walks to Cavriglia for food, cappucino or groceries, or up the road to the top of the hill for the views. The apartment was comfortable and beautifully furnished.
The gardens & views were beautiful as well. It was everything and more of what we expected from the listing description. We have already recommended the property to our friends with older children who wish to visit Italy. For family-friendly restaurants, we enjoyed Pitena and Piccolo in Cavriglia. Pizza Doc or groceries from the Coop in the square were perfect for when we just wanted to relax at the farmhouse for dinner. We took the train from Montevarchi to Florence for the day. It worked out well, but we were very lucky to find a parking space in Montevarchi. We traveled by car to Sienna, San Gimignano, and the Chianti villages. Very nice, but be prepared for some confusion in finding parking, and finding your way out! Otherwise, fantastic!

Wonderful week spent in Il Colombaio

3 happy customers Liverpool UK
Review Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have just returned home from Il Colombaio and are already wishing we were back there. The property was everything it promised to be- and more. The photos are good, but can't do it justice. You have to be there to experience the atmosphere and the wondeful views. Although we knew Marina was on hand to help at any time, we could be as private as we wanted. Garden a pleasure and the pool area is well stocked with plenty of comfy sunbeds,tables and large parasols. A drive through the surrounding countryside is a must for the fabulous scenery, but Arezzo and Sienna remain firm favourites.We fully intend to return and will recommend a stay here to our friends.

Stay at Il Fienile

David Brun France
Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed 10 days at Il Fienile, spending holidays for the second time in Tuscany. We had a wonderful time there, as the place is peacefull, quite, with a wonderfull sight seeing. The weather was great, so we enjoyed the terrace and pool !
The location of the house is optimal to visite the hearth of Tuscany. For example you can reach Florence by train easily, and Arezzo and Siena are 30/45 mn drive away.
Il could be also a great base next time for biking holidays !
