Casa Bruna - Cipresseta del Chianti

A great apartment with a great view. It works well as a base for visiting the area's well-known cities or going wine tasting.

We really enjoyed our stay in the first half of September, during our Tuscan holiday. Our large first-floor apartment had a spacious balcony, and everything was very clean, charmingly furnished, and functional. The kitchen had a moka pot for the gas stove, but no filter coffee machine or toaster. Otherwise, we didn't lack anything. It was easy to reach the hostess, who replied quickly, and we could park right by the house. The house is on a hill above the road between Poggibondi and Castellina in Chianti's historic center. For bigger shops, there's Lidl and Coop in Poggibondi. Forests, vineyards, and olive groves surround the house, making it idyllic and fairly quiet. Travel between places still takes time, though, as there are hardly any fast roads. If you enjoy motorcycling or winding roads, you'll find it ideal. We flew from Germany and rented a car near Florence airport, which gave us plenty of mobility and flexibility. One tip: for a visit to Florence, you can take the train from Poggibondi. We did and found it very relaxing.
