We enjoyed our stay at Chiantigiana 4 immensely. There are spectacular views from the kitchen window and the landscape around Panzano is incredibly picturesque. Maria was a very warm and welcoming host. The apartment was very neat and clean and suited our needs perfectly. The children enjoyed the swimming pool and there are beautiful views from the pool area too. My teenage son felt the bed was small and the WiFi was hard to access as you had to sit outside the main house and it was very slow so if it was raining we didn't go out to use it so it made booking tickets for our further travels difficult. However, these small issues did not detract from a wonderful stay. We would recommend this place to others, it was a great base from which to explore the Chianti region. It is an easy drive to Siena, San Giminagno and Florence from here. We found the directions to find the accommodation were somewhat misleading as the sign on the gate was no longer legible as it had faded in the sun, so it is worth clarifying directions. Maria was so friendly and kind and keen to make our stay enjoyable. We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful part of Tuscany.

We stayed at Girasole in September. It was very quiet as none of the other apartments were occupied. We arrived early and the host allowed us to check in (3pm as opposed to after 5pm). As a result of this we overlooked the stuffiness and the fact only 1 bed was made up (there were 4 of us). The propery was quite old and the bathrooms in need of updating, and felt like the entire place needed a good dusting. However that said, it was an old building and we really enjoyed the rustic charm. The large outdoor entertaining area was amazing and we spent a lot of time there. The kitchen was adequate for our needs as were the utensils/crockery. The views to the surrounding countryside were spectacular and you had a perfect view of San Gimignano from the road at the front of the property. We had problems with the hot water, which the owner promptly had repaired. The washing machine was also broken, but the owners allowed us to use another on the property. It was a little out of the way, but a nice place to visit and we enjoyed our stay and the company of the local cat who made itself at home with us.

If you are looking for the best location - this is it! The apartment looks out over a beautiful square and it's in the heart of the city. The apartment was very comfortable and we truly enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that the apartment was advertized to have a washer and dryer and it does not. This caused some problems since we had packed with that in mind! Also, bring your earplugs - the apartment is over 3 restaurants and it can be quite noisy at night. Even with those small problems we had a great time and the hotel staff that owes the apartment was wonderful.

Great villa, owners were very helpful, excellent location. The only thing that could be a little better is the kitchen, not enough dishes, no mixer, quite poor service for the italian kitchen. All the rest is perfect!
[Owner comment] La cucina della villa è ben equipaggiata ed il proprietario ha rifornito quest' ultima con una quantità di stoviglie adeguata al numero di persone previsto.
