Masseto In Chianti

This was our fourth visit to this beautiful spot in the middle of the Chianti region, and I hope we'll be back again. The views and swimming pool are splendid. It's easy to get to Sienna, Florence, and other lovely places from here. Thank you, Philippo and Paola, for giving us such personal attention.

We haven't stayed at Filippo's beautiful agraturismo yet, but after what he did for us, we'll surely return next year. Our car broke down near Masseto in Chianti, and in the middle of a heat wave, at 95 degrees, he stopped to help. He brought water, looked after us, and helped interpret Italian. He gave two hours of his day to strangers who needed help. He's the best, with a huge heart and wonderful hospitality. Book your stay and know you're in great hands. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Filippo!

We felt at home right away in Masseto's idyllic Chianti setting. Our cottage, "The Quinto," was cozy and warmly furnished, with a nice new kitchen, comfortable beds, everything we needed, and a terrace for meals outside. It was very clean, and the grounds were well maintained. The views are splendid, breathtaking! The location made day trips to Siena, San Gimignano, Castellina, Radda, Volterra and other places easy, and there's a really nice Osteria down the road. Paola and Filippo gave us a warm welcome, helped with everything, and generously shared information and tips about interesting places to visit. I totally recommend Masseto and would give it 5 ++ stars!!

Masseto was so relaxing, and there was plenty to see and do close by. We really wished we'd booked a longer stay. The location in the heart of Chianti is beautiful, the accommodation was great, and the hosts were wonderfully warm. I'd give it six stars if I could.
