What a great choice Antico Pastificio turned out to be. Our group of 2 couples stayed in the large 3 brm Mercantino apartment - 3 private ensuites, kitchen (but who cooks when you are on holiday!) and sitting area - no balcony unfortunately but there was an extensive balcony with chairs/tables downstairs. Garden and grounds in general were immaculately kept - the lawn looked like a cricket pitch! Didn't swim - water was a bit chilly - but the pool was sparkling clean. Plenty of parking for guests' cars out back in a secure parking area.
This is the trick - stay here and radiate out to all the Tuscan sights - Pisa, Lucca, Sienna, San Gimignano etc - during the day and venture back to this quiet haven in the evening. 100m from the town piazza with all you could want - banks, restaurants, delis, bakeries etc, and a larger supermarket 200m away as well. Food in all the local restaurants was great - and the house wine remarkable - never had a bad one in our 4 weeks through northern Italy.
Antico has its own laundry on site with washing machines and dryers.
Would definitely stay there again.

We onkly stayed two nights at the Pasta Factory in Greve In Chianti, but we wished we could have stayed longer. It was probably one of the best and memorable places that we have stayed at during our three week trip in Italy. Fanastic value for money, huge room, swimming pool (it was 38 degrees when we were there), and the Greve old square a minutes walk away. I would highly recommend the Old Pasta Factory as a great place to stay when exploring Toscana.

We found this Hotel very well appointed and close to the main square in Greve but far enough away to be very quiet. The room was very clean and huge, the only complaint was the bathroom was a bit dark and we would have liked a mirror in the room. We found Monica most helpful when we enquired about sightseeing around the Chianti area.

I stayed at Antico for a couple of nights while attending a wedding in nearby town.
The hotel was full of character and in the perfect location..while all wedding guests stranded up the hills!
The town has excellent restaurants & cafes and is exactly what I expected.
The hotel is basic but clean and simple decor however some stunning pieces of antique furniture.
One slight critisism is that the cleaning staff could be a tad quieter in the morning along the halls.
