All we could have hoped…and more! The place was ‘spectacular’

Most beautiful villa for our family for a big birthday. I wanted a fabulous outdoor patio dining table that could manage our group of 12 over looking views and vineyards. I wanted comfortable updated bathrooms, bedrooms for all guests with air conditioning. I wanted a dreamy pool experience sipping wine laying out at the pool while looking out magical views. I wanted a villa close to a village where we could go grocery shopping and dinners. This all came true in this most incredible villa. We hired a chef for one dinner, a family cooking class another night and brought in the pizza chef another night … all a 10!! I researched for 6 months to find the best villa. Isola Serena was all I dreamed of and more! We have never witnessed more beautiful sunsets. Rafaella was fabulous always available to help with reservations and anything you need. This place is magical!

We celebrated our honeymoon with our friends in this amazing villa. The Check In process & contacting the property manager was super easy. Half way through the week there was a change of towels and they even took some of the garbage with them (as the disposal was not easily accessible. The road to the villa is a bit adventurous, but all guests with all types if cars were able to make it to the villa. The many outdoor spaces are perfect for larger groups and thanks to the three seperate houses (all equipped with their own kitchen) each group has the option to retreat and have some time to themselves. Unfortunately the Jacuzzi was broken during our stay, this would have been nice for the cooler september nights. All in all we had an amazing stay! We hope to come back again maybe as our 5 year anniversary :).

I was looking for the perfect villa for a memorable vacation with my grown family (8 adults). Isola Serena checked all of the boxes for me.Centrally located in Castellina di Chianti, a great (not too) little town offering great views, restaurants, wine and some shopping.Castellina is the perfect launching point for regional day trips through central Tuscany as we easily traveled to Florence (north), Siena (south), San Gimingnano (west), Montepulciano (SE), and several other quaint smaller towns and wineries in between. The villa is beautiful, everything as advertised, so much space and privacy for everyone - bedrooms/modern bathrooms/appliances/internet, etc. - again, as advertised and more. The villa has extreme privacy, located at the end of a long, winding dirt road, in the middle of an olive grove and vineyard - just beautiful. For hikers - there is a hiking trail that starts along the driveway road (marked) and ends approx 2 miles later at the villa - perfect for a morning hike.The villa back patio is large with stunning views over the valley, comfortable patio furniture, and is conducive for family togetherness. The patio also has a covered area with a large table for meals and just hanging out for drinking the local wine. The local wine - try them ALL. In restaurants - the house wine is terrific!The check-in and check-out process with Natalia was so easy. She was so accommodating to answer all questions pre-trip and during our stay - easy communication thru What's App.This was a trip of a lifetime.
