When we arrived (2 couples) at our Farmhouse in Chianti, The Tenute Folonari Villa! We were immediately greeted by the most wonderfully gracious and kind lady named Oliva Busignani!! From the moment we met her, she took us under her wings! Every morning we had danishes delivered by her, firewood left at the front door daily, she even brought candles for our dinners! I can not begin to express how grateful we are for her & because of her, we will return! The Farmhouse is preciously decorated, very relaxing, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean! The housekeeper was wonderful! The grounds and especially the views were magnificent!! How could they not be when you wake up to the most breathtaking views of rolling hills of vineyards! The location is ideal!! We easily traveled to many towns all around us! We recommend a driver (Gianni Marilli), it saves time by not getting lost & especially because they know all of the fabulous local restaurants that are so quaintly tucked and hidden away in the mountains and TONS tons more sights and towns! We were NEVER disappointed! We also loved touring and tasting the wines at our Vineyard, thanks to our fantastic Sommelier, Donatella De Lucia!! She was so knowledgeable & fun! The wines were excellent and of course, had several cases shipped home! We came the 18th October, 2014 and just missed the harvesting of the grapes! So next time, we will come in September! I would SERIOUSLY recommend this Villa to anyone! We began our trip in Rome, then Florence, so it was beyond perfect, to have a little break from the Cities! We also hired, 2 nights of our stay, the MOST INCREDIBLE chef, Chef Daniele Tognaccini! Besides the fact that his food was to die for, he was also the most precious, gentle man!! We are so thankful to have met Oliva, Daniele, and Donatella, because of them, they made our trip, a trip of life time!
