Very nice, clean B&B. Grounds and views were wonderful. Our only complaint was that the hotel does not have a restaurant, so we had to drive around for a restaurant at night. The roads of Tuscany are curvy and narrow so it was more difficult driving to find a restaurant than expected. However, the breakfast portion of the B&B was very good.

Plus - quiet beautiful grounds and surrounds, high quality service
Minus - we stayed in the apartment and the people upstairs (permanent residence) were too noisy

You need to be driving if you want to enjoy the Chianti region. If you have a car, stay here - just make sure you've had enough wine to sleep through any yelling from upstairs.

We stayed at La Canonica a few weeks ago in the Merrigio apartment with our 3 children. The minute you walk in the gates of the hotel/ BB you smell the beautiful rosemary garden which is maintained immaculately. We loved our villa, the gardens, the pool area, and even sampled the house wine which was also good.

Many many thanks to Erica and Claudia who were so helpful from the start. Their recommendations for restauarants etc in the area were perfect. I loved all the small villages around the area and could have easily spent another week ( a car is a must though). If and when we return to Italy we will definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for a few nights in the B&B building. The grounds here are beautiful and tranquil and we enjoyed the setting. The rooms were okay, a small bedroom with a good sized bathroom. There wasn't any air conditioning and room was a little stuffy, but it was October so perhaps they'd turned it off. The location was central and withing 20-30 minutes driving distance to Tuscany sites like Sienna and Volterra. Overall we had a nice, but not memorable stay. I'd consider staying here again but would also look around first.
