La Valle - Self-catering house in Tuscany
Greve in Chianti, 50022 Strada in Chianti, Florence
Tuscany,
Italia
The main house is vast, with terracotta floors, fine rugs, a huge working fireplace, deep and sumptuous sofas, a wonderful collection of 18th-century French antiques, a great sound system and a well-hidden TV for rainy days – it's a hugely convivial space to spend time in. For longer stays there is daily bed-making and room cleaning, a chef for your dinner on the first night, everything pristine, and yet you have complete independence.
The gardens are superb: terraces span around the house with views to two castles and the Apennine mountains; pots of geraniums and lemons scent the air, you can pick fresh herbs and tomatoes in season and experiment with the wood-fired pizza oven, or simply float in the shimmering pool. Cook up a storm in the immense kitchen with all the kit you might want and a wooden refectory table.
Bedrooms (three in the house and two in a separate building) are havens of comfort and character.

Local points of interest from Jody Turkus:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Jody Turkus:
- La Valle is right in the middle of Chianti, with many world-famous wineries within 15-20 minutes' drive – some of the best include Antinori, Fonterutoli, Verrazzano, and Gabbiano.
- Tuscan hiking trails start right from the front door, and this is one of the most beautiful regions to cycle too. Walk 15 minutes along a trail from the house to a waterfall, with a natural pool for wild swimming or a cold plunge.
- Every village nearby holds a weekly market - pick up fresh local produce in the nearest village, Strada in Chianti (5-min drive) on a Tuesday. For a bigger market head to Greve in Chianti on a Saturday morning; Imprunetta is either Thursday or Saturday.
- With a bit of notice, we can arrange for one of our chefs to provide cooking classes or pizza-making classes using the wood-fired pizza oven at La Valle. Eat out under the pergola, surrounded by grape vines, with unforgettable views to two castles.
- Recommended restaurants nearby include La Castellana (15-min drive) in Montefiorelle, one of the most beautiful places you'll ever see. Lamole, one of the best restaurants in Tuscany, is 30 mins.
