Fantastic Apartment, well furnished and central to everything
Great apartment and well furnished with everything you need We loved the private garden and spent our evenings enjoying wine. The apartment location is central to everything and we would walk into Gaiole everyday. We had a car and drove to a number of towns and wineries each day we stayed. . Many thanks to John and Tracy for allowing us to use the apartment.

Beautiful location with all the amenities provided
The apartment is superbly located in the beautiful village of Gaiole, it is a short walk to the village for coffee in the morning and restaurants in the late afternoon and evening. The amenities in the apartment are excellent and the courtyard is perfect to relax or read during the day. The pool area is large, clean and relaxing on a sunny day. Would stay there again, and again if finances allowed. Beautiful place in the world

Excellent location. All very comfortable and laid back. Weather was beautiful and we had a pool located very close to the apartment. In general, we had a great time and look forward to getting back again something in the near future.

Ideal accommodation in a charming village in Tuscany
John and Tracy have gone to great lengths to equip their apartment to make life comfortable for their visitors. They also answered queries promptly before and during our stay. The garden area is charming. The pool is lovely and at this time of the year was very quiet which suited us! We enjoyed the village and used it as a base for exploring Tuscany for the first time. Lots to see and do with many delightful hill towns to explore.

We had a most enjoyable 2 week stay in your apartment!
The location was perfect for visiting the Tuscan Hill towns and local Wineries. The apartment was well equipped to satisfy all your needs. The Terrace was beautiful and we had many nights sitting outside with a glass of wine looking at the scenery. Hopefully we will be able to return in the future!

The Perfect Place to Stay in Chianti
This apartment is perfect, there is everything there that you could possibly need for a perfect holiday. The apartment itself is lovely but you also have the advantage of a swimming pool, a well equipped gym, a laundry. The apartment has a beautiful garden where you can eat, relax, have a bbq and just enjoy life ,with an amazing view. The local pretty village of Gaiole in Chianti, where you can eat and shop is within easy walking distance. John and Tracey have left lots of information on Restaurants locally and further afield with information also on Wine Tasting. It is a perfect area for cycling and not just on the white roads. Basically, when you leave you almost want to count the days to when you can go back again!!!! It doesn't get better than that!!!!

Well-equipped apartment with gorgeous garden patio
Loved, loved this classy apartment. John and Tracy (the owners) keep it stocked with everything you could possibly need to really enjoy being at home away from home, including fast wifi!. The owners were easy to reach and all of the instructions were clear and simple. The village itself was a very enjoyable break from some of the tourist-packed villages in the area...which are all easily accessible...but nice to return to the tranquility of our garden terrace in Gaiol where we could enjoy a glass of Chiati and watch the sun set over the hills. Loved it. Thanks John and Tracy!

Perfect, relaxing, romantic apartment
We stayed at John and Tracy's for a week at the end of August/beginning of September, and had such a relaxing holiday. The apartment itself was immaculate and had everything you could ever need, what we particularly appreciated were the cooking facilities, including the bbq and all of the equipment that went with it! This made it much easier to cook for ourselves on a few evenings. It felt as if we were staying at a friend's apartment, so different to some holiday rentals that feel very stark and un-lived in. The garden and views were beautiful, with lots of fresh herbs to use and a covered area to eat and get out of the sun. Gaiole itself if so pretty and a typical Italian community. We were lucky enough to experience a festival one of the evenings, with live music in the piazza and cocktails and buffets served by the lovely little cafes (we're assuming it was some kind of grape harvest festival due to the time of year but we still don't know!). Gaiole and the apartment were perfect places to explore the region - helped a lot by John and Tracy's extensive suggestions/tips/guide books in the apartment. We had a car and travelled to Siena, San Gimingnano and lots of the small towns, vineyards, and surrounding countryside. Our favourtie restaurant that we went to was definitely Malborghetto, their wild boar stew, and chocolate souffle were incredble and the atmosphere was very romantic. We can't thank you enough, John and Tracy, for such a wonderful holiday and for being such great hosts! We didn't want to leave and we can't wait to come back!

Peaceful Retreat
We stayed here for 3 weeks and found this location very central to the entire Chianti region. Heaps to do and see, great accommodation, the unit was extremely well appointed and the pool was a "God-send" especially when temperatures exceeded 45 deg C. Mosquitoes made their unwelcome presence known, their numbers may however diminish as the family of frogs in the garden increases over time. Underground parking was great too helping the car to stay cool. We really appreciated the extent of information available in the compendium which included clear instructuctions on how best to get to various places such as Siena and Firenze. We have to also endorse John's favourite restaurant, Ristorante Il Celliere a Castagnoli. Superb doesn't begin to describe our experience there!!! The locals of Gaiole In Chianti made us feel welcome, especially "Papa" at Tutte Birra. Thanks to John and Tracy for your hospitality.

Highly Recommended
Apartment - Gaiole in Chianti This apartment is located in a small traditional Tuscan village, right in the heart of Chianti country. The village is surrounded by vineyards on all sides, so you have no excuse not to sample the world famous Chianti wine. We visited a number of wineries over the course of our two week stay and learnt a great deal about wine production, we even ordered a number of cases to be sent home. The apartment itself is located on the upper slopes of the village, in Borgo Di Gaiole. The views from the garden over the surrounding countryside are fantastic. A real joy to sit outside just enjoying the view. John & Tracy ( owners ) use this apartment on a regular basis, so every conceivable home comfort / kitchen utensil is available for guests to use, including a good wi-fi service. The garden has a great tradition BBQ which we used on a number of occasions. The local butcher in the village sold us some amazing T-Bone steaks and it was a real pleasure to sit in the garden drinking the local wine and eating the local food. The village itself has 3 restaurants which provide good quality food, however depending on your budget, if you want outstanding cuisine, within a short drive are a number of fine dining restaurants which we would highly recommend. John provided full details of all the local restaurants plus endless other hints and tips. In our opinion you will need a hire car if you want to explore and experience the local area’s natural beauty. The drive from Pisa Airport is approx 2 hours and a mixture of motorway and local roads. All fairly easy if you are a confident driver with the help of Sat Nav. We also visited Siena, which is approx 40 mins drive away. John provided excellent instructions where to park within the city, which was approx 10 mins walk from the centre. If you want to visit Florence, we suggest you drive to Montevarchi and get the train directly into Florence. It’s very cheap ( approx €12 return ) and only takes 35 mins on the fast train ( please remember to get your tickets “authorised” in the machines before you get on the train, both there and on the way back – a strange system but straightforward once you remember ! ). Overall a wonderful holiday and I highly recommend this apartment. John and Tracy could not have been more helpful, providing help and information as and when required. The only small word of caution is the mosquitos, which are quite a pain in the evening’s if sitting outside. We did manage to overcome these, with a “battle plan” consisting of scents / fans and an Electronic Anti - Mosquito Lamp which John provided.
