Gaiole with Friends

Comfortable and charming farmhouse surrounded by vineyards overlooking the beautiful Tuscan Landscape. Ours hosts Jenn and Lorenzo were gracious and accommodating. The Winery is the the perfect size to enjoy the wines and the company. Two weeks was not enough. Hope to get back again soon.

Perfect farmhouse for many reasons!

This was a 2 week celebration of 3 men who turned 60 this year. The property exceeded our expectations on many levels. The weather the first 10 days was exceptional and we were able to use the beautiful yards around the farmhouse either for sipping your morning coffee or our afternoon wine!! In the evenings we would all gather and make dinner in the well appointed kitchen! When the weather cooled a bit there was plenty of room on the inside to gather or find a quiet nook. The surrounding area is quite lovely, all of us took strolls in the morning or afternoon along the gravel roads through the vineyards. Lorenzo and Jennifer were the most gracious hosts, we truly appreciate the unparalleled hospitality they provided! Grazie Mille!!

Perfect family home

We had a wonderful time. The house was spacious and well appointed. The owners were very helpful and gracious, answering all of our questions. We enjoyed a wine tasting at their winery and their commended cooking instructor who came to the house was perfect. For a family of nine, it was perfect for all ages!

Exceeds expectations!

The traditional Italian farmhouse was a spacious, clean and generously appointed home base for our group of 10. Located very close to Gaiole in Chianti, it is on the estate of a beautiful vineyard that produces Chianti Classico Reserva and other delicious wines. We had a wonderful tasting and tour of the cellars, give by Lorenzo Gatteschi, the vintner and his knowledgeable and charming wife, and were especially fortunate to be present during the bottling of some of their wines! We'd rented the smaller guesthouse, Il Diaccino, also, to accommodate two more friends, and shared the large swimming pool between the two houses. The owners and their family couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. In fact, Franca and her sister Mimma gave a cooking class which culminated in the most delicious meal on the terrace of the tasting room, overlooking the most wonderful views of the valley. Well-tended vines and olive trees, with 5' tall hedges of rosemary and scads of lavender enriched our eyes and souls. The Holm oaks, cedars, and caper bushes were so interesting to see. Many lasting memories were made here! Most highly recommend Le Diacce.

Magical tuscan villa in the heart of Tuscany!

We stayed in Le Diacce in August 2019 for a three generation family vacation and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly how you expect a traditional Tuscan villa to look in the movies: charmingly decorated with beautiful, well maintained grounds and an exquisite view of the vineyards and Tuscan hills. It had plenty of space for our family and was even able to comfortably accommodate my parents who are unable to climb stairs (they stayed in a small charming cottage next to the house). The house is in Gaiole which is the center of Tuscany and the Chianti area. It was a great location for exploring Florence, Sienna and numerous quaint Tuscan villages and towns. Franca, the owner, is a gem. She's so kind and helpful. She provided a lot of information about what to do and really made us feel welcome. I also highly recommend the cooking class she organizes with het sister. My whole family (three generations) loved it! Thanks so much Franca for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful Family week in Chianti

Our family of 9, our kids and grandkids, spent a blissful week at Le Diacce in early early July. The house, rural setting, surrounding trails, castles, restaurants and easy access to both Florence and Siena made for a wonderful week for everyone. Coming home from a busy day and jumping in the pool, then preparing a dinner to share outside where we could look out at the Chianti hills was magical. Six bedrooms and bathrooms made it luxurious. The help and friendship we received from Franca was the best part and we would love to return. The smaller house next door, Il Diaccino , also looked wonderful and would be prefect for a smaller group. Thank you for helping us have a joyful 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

A little heaven in Chianti

The villa Le Diacce is sublime. It offers a welcome base from which to tour the hilltop towns of Tuscany. Franca is a wonderful hostess whose knowledge of the local history is only exceeded by her culinary charms. Our family of 5 (including 3 adult children) spent a delightful time at this roomy villa. Each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom. It was a perfect holiday and, like so many of Franca’s guests, we will return of that we are certain.

Breathtaking!

We had an amazing time at Le Diacce last Summer. The vineyards are breathtaking, the house is beautiful, the pool is a welcome plus after a hot Tuscan day. Franca is an amazing host who goes above and beyond. Her recommendations for places to visit and dine were perfect - we especially enjoyed our last evening in Barbischio dining at Il Papavero. She also shared her wonderful wines and vast knowledge with us. I hope we can repeat this experience some time!

Le Diacce: Beautiful Villa Well Located for Exploring the Chianti Region

We had the pleasure of staying for six nights at Le Diacce. It is a beautifully restored farmhouse/villa located in a working vineyard about a 10 minute drive from Gaiole in Chianti. The house has five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and can be divided into a three bedroom unit and a two bedroom unit. We had the whole house which was ample room for our family of five. It would also be a great place to share with a number of couples. Le Diacce provides an excellent base for exploring the Chianti region and the famous Chianti towns. The owner, Franca, is lovely and a wonderful source of information about local restaurants, sights etc. We also enjoyed a family cooking class and wine tasting put on by Franca and her sister. We would highly recommend Le Diacce!

Heart of Tuscany Living

This is a beautiful vineyard and house to stay out in Classical Chianti in Tuscany. The house has been restored and is very nice. Always cool because of its location and how it is built. Great for a family or a group of couples that want to explore Tuscany. Six nice bedrooms with enough bathrooms. Pool that is awesome to dip in during the hot afternoon. Enough excellent restaurants within 5-15 minutes, and I mean excellent restaurants. You are 7 minutes from the town of Gaiole, which is just one of three small town that you will want to visit when you stay here. It is also easy to get to the rest of Tuscany through the back roads of Tuscany. If you like to road bike, this is the place to be. But it is also a great place to relax and enjoy life. A butcher, small grocery store with bakery, wine store etc are all 7 minutes away and more within 30-45 minutes. The owners are great and always around to help with planning. You can also schedule cooking classes with them, and they have been around the world performing these classes. Once in a lifetime opportunity. There wine is also spectacular, but with so much great wine everywhere, it is hard to appreciate it all. The charm and beauty of this place is you can go all over the place and explore wonderful town, wineries and the history of Tuscany. But here you can also relax and enjoy walks through the mountain sides, vineyards, relax at the pool and sit out at night on the two patios and drink wine with family and friends. I hope to have the opportunity to return again someday. Simply, you have to experience it for yourself.

Beautiful Le Diacce!

Our party of six adults recently rented the entire Le Diacce villa to serve as our "home-base" for two weeks while exploring the charming Tuscany region. The location of the property is absolutely perfect, as it is quiet and serene while being well-situated to explore the area. The villa itself is well-appointed with all of the comforts of home, and is fully-equipped for preparing meals. Most notably, it has many quaint areas both within the house and the surrounding property to find some privacy and enjoy the outstanding views and wine! Franca, the owner, is truly one of a kind!!! Her personality alone is worth mentioning, as she has a certain spark that makes anyone who meets her gravitate to her in such a way that is almost undescribable. Kind and caring, she went over the top to help us feel comfortable during our stay. From providing small creature comforts such as an "American" coffee-maker, leading an amazing cooking class (along with her sister Mimi and wonderful staff), to helping us print our boarding passes for our early morning flight, she was truly a joy to meet and really made a lasting impression on myself, as well as the rest of the group. I must also mention her marvelous sense of humor :) Due to the close proximity of La Diacce to the town of Montevarchi (about a 20 minute drive from the property), we were able to utilize the train system multiple times, exploring Florence, Pistoia (highly recommended!!), and Venice. By car (a necessity if renting this property, in my opinion), we explored Sienna, Volterra, Assisi, and many other small, whimsical towns that dot the region. That said, if exploring by train and car are not what you are looking for in a vacation, the town of Gaiole (about a 10 minute drive away) has many small shops, restaurants and cafes to explore as well. Gaiole also has a small grocery store (The Coop) as well as a very nice butcher, that we utilized many times during our stay. In closing, no matter what your agenda for your vacation, whether exploring, relaxing, or a combination of both- Le Diacce is simply breathtaking!

This was the perfect place to stay while exploring Tuscany. We loved how spacious it was, but yet very cozy and inviting. The owners were so enjoyable and helpful with sites to see. This is the perfect get away spot. We enjoyed the ambiance and felt right at home. It made our vacation that much more memorable. I can't imagine staying anywhere else.

Exceeding Expectations! Our Dream Vacation Stay at Podere Ciona

I am not sure where to start regarding our stay at Le Diacce on the Podere Ciona Vineyard. Exceptional owners and service, glorious accommodations, breathtaking views and oh did I mention exceptional owners! From a general space perspective: we were a large group (12) and the villa along with the cottage was more than enough room and capable of accommodating everyone. The kitchens were well equipped for us to do all the cooking we wanted and not have to go out to eat if we didn't choose to. Franca and Franco (the owners) and Maria, one of the people who help them were so gracious and friendly during our stay. They offered great advice on places to go close by and even day trips, making us feel as though we were an extension of their family. The morning after our late night arrival we awoke to the most spectacular views from our bedrooms of the surrounding vineyards and countryside, and Franca stopped up with maps and instructions on how to get to Gaiole for food for the week. We spent many happy times at the large pool surrounded by olive trees, relaxing to the smell of lavender from the nearby bushes. The property is just a short drive to Gaiole where we shopped and explored. Franca directed us to the most amazing butcher (Macelleria 1a Qualita - Chini established in 1682!) and pottery (Colori del Chianti) stores in town. We took advantage of both the wine tour and cooking class offered through the vineyard and couldn't be more pleased that we did. Franca & her sister Mimma were entertaining cooks, patient teachers and gracious hosts for the cooking school and joined us as we had an amazing meal overlooking their beautiful vineyard from the patio of the wine tasting & cooking school. I could go on and on about the beauty of this place and the family and staff that provides the accomodations. You should look no further for your next vacation. If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway or a large family in need of a spacious place to call your home. If you stay at Podere Ciona you will have a very hard time leaving and like us start planning your return before you have left!

Wonderful Week in Tuscany

This is a LONG overdue review, so long that VRBO wouldn't let me enter our true dates in July of 2014. We first came across Le Diacce (aka Podere Ciona) here on VRBO. All prior visitors left such glowing reviews, luckily it was available for our trip. Podere Ciona is a family-owned vineyard and winery west of Montevarchi about a 90 minute drive south of Florence. The property is secluded and sits at the end of a dirt road in Montegrossi. The farmhouse is well appointed and split into two self-sufficient units but you can take the entire building. The kitchen is fully stocked - bring you own groceries and you are good to go. The bathrooms and kitchens are very modern and the WIFI is excellent. We were traveling with 8 people and had room to spare. There is a washing machine, mother nature dries the clothes. Le Diacce has a large brick patio area bordered by a large lawn. Sitting in lawn chairs looking out over the valley is quite relaxing, read a book, take a nap. We took some long walks around the perimeter among grapevines and olive trees - beautiful. The owners live further in down a long gravel driveway. Keep in mind you are in a rural area so there are lots and lots of animals and insects about both inside and outside. Bring bug repellent and check the rooms and beds before turning in for the night. The summer of 2014 was cool and drizzly so high temps were not a concern. I suspect the stone structure would have remained cool regardless. There is a swimming pool (not heated) a short walk away. Le Diacce’s location outside Gaiole in the heart of Chianti is excellent and an easy drive to Siena, Florence, the Prada outlet in Montevarchi, and the fashion outlets outside Florence. Groceries are available at a small Coop store in Gaiole. Montevarchi is a larger town with frequent train service to Florence. There is so much to see and experience, you would not regret spending a month here to wander the Tuscan countryside. The owners are wonderful people and very considerate hosts. Advice, if you are interested in eating at a local restaurant, Franca is only too happy to make arrangements so have her do so. We found that it can be difficult at times to dine in town without these introductions. Also if you have the opportunity to take her cooking class, do so! We all did it and loved it. By the way, the Podere Ciona Chianti Classico DOCG Reserva is very good wine! We enjoyed a bottle at Osteria "Il Papavero" in Barbischio.

Stay Here!

We just finished a week in Tuscany and stayed at Le Diacce. What a wonderful place. There were 9 of us, 3 families, 3 generations and staying here fit our needs just right. Lots of room to get lost and relax, but also the intimacy of the great dining room to have dinner together into the late hours of the evening. While I could write at length about the accommodations, it really is Franca who makes the place special. She was helpful with everything we needed but was also thinking ahead for us. It was 3 weeks before we arrived when Franca asked if we would like dinner reservations for our first night there, knowing that we would be tired from our journey. She was even helpful in shipping some packages back to our home a few days after we had finished our stay and had already departed. While there, do take the time to do a wine tasting. Not only do they produce excellent Chianti Classico, the stories and history that you will hear are most fascinating. Consider also the cooking class with sisters Franca and Mimma - it is interesting if you want to learn traditional Italian cooking but also a great time to just to go and eat. Thank you to Franca and all the people at Podere Ciona who make this a wonderful place. Spero che facciamo venire e visitare di nuovo.

Unbelievable Stay - We hope to be back!

What an amazing Tuscany vacation! Our family of 6 (3 couples) absolutely loved our stay on Franca and Franco's vineyard. If you are looking for the perfect Tuscan getaway - seriously, do not look any further. You have breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside, a villa tucked away on a vineyard, and local villages at your fingertips. Franca could not have been a better host. She was eager to provide us with restaurant recommendations, driving directions, hiking trails, etc. The restaurants she recommends were the best we had over our 10 day trip. Local places that we never would have found without her. The villa is very well suited for 3 couples. You each have your own bathroom, and the beds are comfortable. If you would like to cook, you have a kitchen with all the necessities. There is more than enough space for everyone. I would certainly recommend doing the wine tastings and cooking classes as well. It's an experience you'll never forget! A big thank you to Franca and Franco for an amazing stay. Remember, the cooking class with Mimma and Franca is not to be missed!

A small piece of heaven .....

Our group of 6 travelers chose to rent both sides of Le Diacce to ensure our laughter did not bother others. Wow, did we choose right! From the very first glimpse of Podere Ciona, the house, grounds, Franca - we were captivated. Franca assisted us with places to eat, things to see, wine, each and every one amazing. Franca and her husband Franco even assisted us when our rental car had a flat tire. We cooked both at home and at the cooking school, enjoyed the pool, walking up to the castle and touring the area. Even in cold, rainy weather, there is plenty to do or not do at Le Diacce .. Pour yourself a great glass of Chianti Classico, grab a book and snuggle in to the living room. Heck, we even got a kick about making sure the boar gate was closed at night. We were very sad to leave and hope we can return soon.

What a wonderful place to stay for our cousin reunion. Very peaceful and quiet. Franca is an excellent hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Anna Gatteschi

We decided to settle in the Chianti Classico area after living abroad for years and then in Rome. What we were looking for was a peaceful, untouched haven, which we definitely found near Gaiole in Chianti. The property we chose had also a vineyard. We had previous amateur experience in making wine; the challenge of creating a real high quality wine was too tempting. Nowadays we export our wines also in the US. After having restored the main house, we decided to restore also another farmhouse in the property: we wished to share such a stunning place and introduce guests from all over the world to the beautiful land of Chianti and to its wine.
