We review each country house on a scale of 3 to 5, with 5 being the best category. We have looked at price, quality and x-factor and come up with a comprehensive review, which is largely made with the heart, and therefore is very personal.

Country idyll, beautiful scenery, tranquility, peace and birdsong that characterizes Pornanino - and not least the two beautiful villas on the site

On the soft hills in the heart of the Chianti region, between Radda, Castellina and Vagliagli lies Pornanino, a lovingly restored biological olive oil estate surrounded by 36 hectares of olive groves and wooded hills. It can hardly be more idyllic.

On the site there are three stone villas, the two of which are rented out. It is about Capannino stone villa for 4 persons and the smaller villa Leccino for 2 persons.

Each of these two independent villas has central heating, telephone, satellite flat-screen TV, microwave, dishwasher, iron and ironing board, hairdryer and Wi-Fi internet access. In addition, each accommodation has its own private terrace with tables and chairs for eating outside and a garden with sun loungers for sunbathing. Both houses are surrounded by a beautiful and flowering garden.

The communal swimming pool (6 x 12 meters and deep 1,40 meter) is close to the houses and has a large sun terrace with sun loungers and umbrellas. The swimming pool is open from mid May to late September, depending on the weather.

There is also a shared laundry room with washing machine on site.

Only a few 100 meters from the villas lies the farm where the olive oil production itself takes place. It is of course possible to go for a visit and taste the organic oil. The production has been featured in many Italian and foreign media and is of the highest quality.

Francesca and Matteo, who are responsible for  both the country house and olive oil production, are extremely accommodating and helpful and give you good advice on excursions in the area.

The nearest town to Pornanino is Castellina in Chianti, where you will find supermarket, bars, restaurants, banks, post office and pharmacy.
