Bossi di Sopra

Amidst the lush, tree-covered hills, valleys, and winding roads of the famous Chianti wine region of Tuscany, you might come across the impossibly charming Villa La Canonica Di Pietrafitta, a unique and charming property that crowns the sweet little hamlet of Pietrafitta, 5km from the town of Castellina in Chianti.

This lovely stone building is impossibly pretty and boasts endless character. A former priest’s home, Villa La Canonica Di Pietrafitta is made up of an old converted church with a bell tower and different little stone buildings that have been combined to form one impressive property within a paved courtyard. The result looks like a little hamlet in its own right and gives guests the sense of having taken over a little Tuscan town for their time on vacation in Tuscany!

The stunning landscape of rolling hills and lush greenery of Tuscany is an innately inspiring place that can border on seeming unreal or like paradise, particularly the gorgeous Orcia Valley. In fact, if you find a villa in the Orcia Valley, you will easily see how beautiful it really is and understand why it was chosen for two very famous and pivotal scenes in Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning masterpiece, Gladiator. An enduring icon in the cinematic world over the past two decades, it was set in Ancient Rome but was filmed in locations across England, Morocco, and Malta, reconstructions of Ancient Roman cities and landmarks, and Tuscany's enchanting Orcia Valley.

The pretty town of Impruneta boasts great proximity to Florence (it is in the metropolitan area, around 14km away from the city), a location among the rolling green hills and vineyards of Chianti. It is also impossibly pretty and charming in its own right, with a wonderful historic core featuring elegant palazzi, wide piazze, and leafy greenery throughout. Residenza Del Dosco is a gorgeous duplex apartment in a historic building right in this beautiful old town and is the perfect place to experience all the delights of a dream getaway in Tuscany…

Considering booking a vacation but not sure where to even start among our thousands of amazing holiday listings? We understand – it can be hard to narrow it down! Of course, you can always contact us and tell our team of villa rental experts about what you are after and we will be glad to help you find a perfect fit but if you want to hear from fellow travellers about their experiences at some of wonderful properties then checking out our reviews is a great way to go. Get to know directly from customers about rentals that they loved and in which they had perfect vacations so that you can plan one for yourself and maybe even learn about some unique traits that they found particularly helpful or memorable or pleasing.

To get you started, here is a curation of just some of recent five-star reviews so that you can check out vacation rentals that our guests are raving about and where you can expect the most amazing holiday experiences...

A spacious garden hugged by cypresses and other densely green trees, views of rolling hills and lush Tuscan landscapes all around, a private pool, a terracotta roof, a pretty and traditional Tuscan kitchen, charming bedrooms finished with detail and care, high exposed-beam ceilings, a nice little covered area for dining al fresco, lots of rooms with direct exits out onto the terrace... all of this and more is what you can expect from the gorgeous and wonderfully and typically Tuscan Villa La Fragola (meaning Strawberry Villa) just 500m outside the village of Chianacce, 19km (12 miles) from Montepulciano. Positioned in an especially scenic and peaceful part of the world that is ideal for those looking to get away from it all and relax on their vacation, this gem allows you to get a real taste of the charming and slow-paced life of rural Tuscany while also being ideally located just 5km from the highway and allowing easy access to many of the region’s most famous destinations and attractions. Those who choose Villa La Fragola, therefore, will get the best of both worlds – the restful escape into the dreamy Tuscan countryside and plenty of opportunities to play the serious tourist and tick some key sights off of your bucket list. In addition to Montepulciano being just 19km (12 miles) away, other nearby cities include Cortona 20km (12 miles) away, Arezzo 45km (28 miles) away, Montalcino 52km (32 miles) away, and Perugia 62km (39 miles) away. 

We have put a great importance on customer reviews for years now and, across our websites (Easy Reserve, Italy Villas, and Tuscany Villas), we have accumulated thousands of reviews of both properties listed on our sites and our customer service.

The property reviews are, of course, incredibly informative and helpful for those browsing through our vacation rental listings who are trying to find exactly the right place for a perfect holiday but the reviews of our services are also very important. These reviews help us provide high-quality service and allow us to continue to better the experience of booking with us.
