Agriturismo Concadoro

We stayed in the little one-bedroom building apart from the main house. It had a classic style and everything we needed, and the pool was great and never too busy. The view from our room was incredible. The photos really don’t do this place justice. Hope to come back!

The apartments fit naturally into the surroundings, are tastefully decorated, and have all the facilities needed. The beds are comfortable, and the toilets are spacious and very comfortable. It’s 15 minutes from the motorway, making it easy to get to different places. Castellina in Chiamti is only 8 minutes from the Agriturismo, and I recommend visiting the village. The shop next door is also worth a stop to taste their own olive oil and Chianti wine. We bought a good quantity of both. A few things kept this from being five stars. The pool was dirty or hadn’t been cleaned properly, with mold built up and the water turned green. After we complained, they added a huge amount of chlorine, so we couldn’t use it for a long time. That was a pity, since we chose the property partly because we like to swim in the morning. We also weren’t told that we had to sort our garbage, and there were no signs or information about it.

The Wi-Fi didn’t work, there was no AC in the rooms, and they charged extra for towels. They also asked for the tourist tax in cash, which looked like a scam. There was goat shit all around and in the swimming pool. My friends were robbed when burglars got into our room. We left first thing in the morning and asked the manager for a refund, which he initially refused. After two months of begging the owners, we finally received a partial refund, but it didn’t come close to covering the loss. Worst experience of my life.

Carmello was an excellent host, and this charming place in Chianti was great value for money. It’s close to both Siena and Florence.
