“A Jewel of Tuscany”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

La Tinaia is a modest estate set in hills to the south-west of Florence. Views are fabulous, accommodation in the old farmhouse well proportioned and comfortable, and the photos of it really do not do it justice. Even though it rained over Florence torrentially for the first two of our 14 days in June, the climate is perfect for a stay-in or wander-about holiday.
Staying-in means you get the very fine pool, the gardens (with lawns automatically watered from below, amazing) the views over Chianti hills and the estate's vineyard and olive groves, and an easy walk to a good restaurant (which caters mostly for meat-eaters), where there is a little shop.
Wandering-about means walking locally, on roads or footpaths, or more likely - Florence, a city easy to love. A 10-minute drive around the hills takes you to the Scandicci tram-stop, and from there it's 15-20 minutes to the city centre on the ideal little tramway that runs frequently and cheaply.
Tina and Franco are the owners. Just perfect, always helpful and knowledgeable, and they have furnished the place in Tuscan up-market farmhouse style. The gardens are a treat, as is the weekly dinner for guests, which for us starred the Tuscan Boar shot by Franco for fiddling with their vines. Add to that their own silver-label Chianti, and a great evening was had by all.
Go there. You won't regret it. And we will, again.

Room Tip: We stayed in 2 rooms, Cypressi and Vigna. The former is large, the latter looks small in photos but...

“La Tinaia - THE standard to which the others aspire”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2011

Our group of 3 couples stayed here for a week over the Easter period. Everyone was delighted with their various apartments, the standard of facilities and cleanliness was of the highest standard. The gardens are lovingly maintained and there were delightful spots created around the villa where one can sit and enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the vines, olive trees and beautiful Tuscan panorama.

Importantly, there is no 'cutting of corners' or sneaky additional costs at La Tinaia. Tina and Franco deliver a fabulous experience, all inclusive, and have put a lot of thought into providing for their guests' requirements. All this while running a wine and oil business as well! Fantastic.

“Amazing apartment in the Tuscan countryside”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

We had an amazing stay at La Tinaia this September. We booked a ground floor, one bedroom apartment, which was large and comfortable with a fully-equipped kitchen. Situated out in the countryside and surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, La Tinaia is also conveniently located for daytrips to Florence and around Tuscany. Best of all, Tina and Franco are welcoming hosts who are more than willing to offer sight seeing suggestions and directions.

Highly recommended! We certainly hope it won't be our last visit.

“Charming Tuscan Home In Midst of Vineyards and Minutes from Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

We stayed in the two bedroom apt this past May and had a wonderful time. The apartment looks just like it does in the pictures! The setting was perfect - right in the middle of vineyards and olive groves!

Tina and Marco were extremely helpful and flexible. The place was clean and extremely convenient as well (10-15 minutes by car/train from Florence). Tina provided us with maps and Marco helped plan our stay in the Tuscany region. We would love to come back and stay at La Tinaia again and would definitely recommend this place to others.

Thanks for your hospitality Tina and Marco! We had a wonderful time!

“Captivating and Soothing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

What a place! This was our second stay at La Tinaia and it won't be our last. Everything about it is warm. The setting is perfect. Tina and Franco are cordial, welcoming and competent hosts. Comfortable, nicely-decorated apartments combine with amenities such as the pool and bocce court to make for a perfect and restful stay. We even took the bus into the Mercato Centrale in Firenze to shop and came back with marvelous ingredients to cook in our apartment's kitchen and eat on the stone terrace overlooking the hillsides. From the West side of the pool it's enough to be able to look out over La Tinaia's vines and olive trees but you can also see all the way to the peaks of Montecatini to the North. The view is so captivating and an early evening spent by the pool is so soothing.
