This villa is absolutely ideal for a family holiday. The villa itself is very comfortable indeed and in a lovely location surrounded by vineyards, just a short drive from the pretty little town of Greve in the heart of the beautiful Chianti region. Do sample the local wine (we can particularly recommend the wines produced on the estate where La Riserva is situated!) The pool is a very good size, and the loggia really is the most wonderfully relaxing place to sit in.
For the days when you want to go further afield you really are spoilt for choice, with some of Italy's most famous cities an hour or less away. And why not start those days off with a chef preparing a delicious Italian breakfast at the villa for you? All in all, a great villa for a truly memorable holiday.
