We really enjoyed our 10 day stay, beds were comfortable and everything was clean, the pool was fantastic with an amazing view. Lots of space for two couples to relax and unwind yet within an hour of all the major towns and attractions. Jurgen was responsive to our needs and even helped us with the pizza oven. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the villa and area. It was a peaceful place to unwind with easy access to Volterra and the Tuscan countryside. The property has a relaxed elegance with several indoor and outdoor living spaces to eat, work or just rest. The management and owners were delightful to work with and immediately responsive to our needs.

The property was well stocked, nicely furnished, comfortable beds, lovely outside eating areas and a beautiful pool. Jürgen and Gabi were incredible hosts, available for any questions and just a lovely couple. The town of Volterra (about 15 mins) is a hidden gem and we made 2 trips to visit. Well situated to Siena, Florence and Lucca. We would absolutely stay again and were sad to leave the beautiful views!

Very nice house with fenced swimming pool, ideal for families with small children. Airconditioning only in the bedrooms, but this was not a problem despite a week with every day 30+ °C.
The only minor point is that the second bathroom on the first floor is VERY small.

This home had all the "Bells and Whistles" need for a relaxing and comfortable stay! it is very centrally located between Volterra and San Gimignano. The Host and Hostess were very kind and helpful. They offered suggestions for restaurants, sightseeing, etc. When I go back to the region, I will not hesitate to stay at this lovely home. Amy Coleman

Our family had a wonderful 10 day stay in August 24. The house is lovely and well equipped. The swimming pool is magnificent size for a villa. The bedrooms were excellent and large.
The communication with Gabrielle and Jurgen was fantastic and very fast.
Downstairs could do with aircon, especially during a Tuscan summer!!!. We thought the whole house would have it and not just the bedrooms, especially at the price we were paying. Suggesting keeping the curtains close did not help and also meant we were missing the view.
The downstairs shower needs repair and the kitchen was a bit ‘tired’ and could do with updating.
Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Trip of a liferime. Everyone’s favorite part of this vacation, the Villa This remote retreat is set about 10 minutes away from Volterra. Gabbi and Jurgen are the most delightful hosts. They treated us and our two young grandchildren like family. All their recommendations were spot on. The setting was movie -like. The renovated villa is as charming as the hosts. The house was spotlessly, clean, and well equipped. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The kitchen is eat- in and has all the amenities. You definitely need a car.. there is so much to explore, but this was our most perfect and magical home base.

Because of all the great reviews, we had very high expectations for this house. The house is good, has all the amenities you can think of and the contact with the owner is very good. However, what we had missed is that there is a business right next to the house, which bothered us. Doors were banging, cars were driving by and it was quite noisy outside. The house is also located in a small valley, which means that there is very little ventilation when it is hot (we were there when it was 37 degrees outside). We would also have liked to see that the garden was taken care of a little more. Many plants were withered and the couch by the pool that is in the pictures is no longer there.

A beautiful home in a peaceful oasis! This house is perfectly situated with easy access to Volterra for shopping and restaurants but also a beautiful country setting. Our hosts were so kind and attentive. We will definitely be back to stay again!
The house has everything you need to pass a lovely holiday. We especially appreciated to comfortable large beds and lovely soaker tub. We visited over Easter and the weather did not cooperate but we look forward to returning in the summer time to enjoy the large swimming pool. Even in poor weather we had a lovely stay with cozy evening fires and afternoon walks in the surrounding countryside.

We absolutely loved our stay in this storybook villa which was perfect from beginning to end! The home was gorgeous, comfortable, well appointed and hosts could not have been nicer and more responsive. They even offered to drive us to dinner one night! The house and kitchen have everything you could need and their recommendations for restaurants and tour guides made the trip! We would absolutely stay here again and look forward to doing just that!

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Woche in diesem sehr schönen Haus, in traumhafter, sehr ruhiger und erholsamer Lage! Die Vermieter sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Absolutes Highlight ist der tolle Pool und das ganze Grundstück ist umzäunt, was für Hundebesitzer großartig ist. Rundum ein gelungener Aufenthalt!

Heraus- und hervorragende Liegenschaft, sehr gepflegt und sauber. Geräumig und stilvoll eingerichtetes Haus mit top ausgestatteter Küche. Der Pool (geheizt) ist ein absoluter Traum. Und last but not least: Herzliche und doch unaufdringliche Gastfreundschaft der Eigentümer, stets zur Stelle, wenn wir etwas brauchten. Wir und unsere Kinder (7 und 3) haben den Aufenthalt in jeder Hinsicht genossen. Ein Juwel!

We had a Wonderful stay at Chiassale. The property is beautiful nestled in the Tuscan hills. The house was well stocked. We enjoyed eating, enjoying some Tuscan wines and visiting on the comfortable outdoor patio. The hosts Gabi and Jurgen could not be more helpful. They had Wonderful suggestions of where to eat and were helpful in making reservations. The house is wonderfully located to many of the beautiful Tuscany towns. We later wished we had booked the place for an extra day or two.
