Top! The structure, recently renewed, is made of 7 fully furnished apartments (6 out of 7 in same building) and one common large lounge area linked with a fully equipped professional kitchen. On top, a right sized while very nice SPA and, on demand, a large yoga room. The structure is located in a perfect while silent location 30 mins far from Siena, San Gimignano and other Chianti locations. The host has been very available and has timely while effectively managed any need! All in all, definitely recommended!!

Our stay at Podere la Valle was exceptional! The apartments are beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The location was perfect for day trips to Florence, Siena, and Cinque Terre. After a long day of sight seeing we enjoyed relaxing by the pool or at the spa.
The restaurants nearby were outstanding! The local Co-op was perfect for groceries
Jerome and Yasmine were very helpful throughout our stay!

Podere Le Valle is the most picturesque and well thought out accommodation I have ever seen. The photos simply can not accurately express the natural beauty of the villa and surroundings. We were a group of 18 and had plenty of space to feel as though we were on our own holidays however still enough room for us to come together in the communal spaces. The spa, pool and kitchen were perfectly designed. We loved having a tour of the aromatherapy oils that are produced on site as well. Jerome was an amazing host. Highly
Recommend

My wife and I held our wedding at Podere la Valle and it was absolutely perfect! Our 23 other guests were able to stay with us for 5 nights and enjoy everything the villa has to offer -- homey apartments, spa, infinity pool, darts, bocce ball, hiking trails, and more. We were able to find beautiful spaces for the wedding ceremony, reception, and dinner, and our caterers had access to everything they needed, including an outdoor wood-burning pizza oven! Jerome and his team have done an absolutely incredible job with the place and have already thought of everything you might need. Can't emphasize enough how amazing it was to celebrate our special day here!

I booked this house for a personal development retreat with a group of 12 people. The space was amazing with 5 large spacious apartments surrounding the main building, which could easily hold more than double the size of our group.
The property is beautiful and well restored with a central dining area in the main house for our group to come together, in addition to a large fantastic spa and a beautiful yoga room / multifunctional large meeting space. There is wonderful nature completely surrounding the property and it is so quiet that you feel very detached from normal life :)
We hired a private chef for the week (Angiola) who was lovely and very accommodating to the dietary needs of our group. The food was healthy, tasty and nothing was wasted.
Overall we all had a fantastic time at this magical property and hope to return soon!

Amazing property and location, perfect for relaxation and contact with nature. The level of detail and the authenticity of the construction renovation is outstanding as well as the service and communication with the landlord and the staff. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Our visit was spectacular. The property is in a beautiful location, includes comfortable well designed spaces, many amenities, and is exceptionally well maintained. We were there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our family of 17, including our 3 children and their families of 5 each. It was enjoyed by all. Plenty of space to gather as a large group for meals and recreation activities or just to be alone for a while. The lounge was popular with the grandchildren to play games. The large infinity pool was likely the most enjoyable feature for everyone to relax or have fun. The entire villa was available to us, which allowed each individual family to have a separated apartment for down time, sleeping and preparing smaller meals.
We couldn't have selected a better site nor a better host. Having Jerome on site, when needed, was greatly appreciated. He was also a great resource for becoming acquainted with the area. As one of our children said, the villa made the whole experience magical!

We were a group of 25 friends and stayed for 9 days at 'Castellina in Chianti'. Everything was just perfect! The accommodations were beautiful, several houses with lovely bedrooms. The grounds are just stunning, with flowers everywhere, a beautiful infinity pool, a indoor spa for rainy days, several hiking paths leading around the property and a seperate yoga space! Jérôme was very franky and helpful with any kind of question or concern f.e. finding a chef to arrange a beautiful dinner on the grounds of the Villa. We would love to stay there again another time.

His chef made us some unforgettable meals. Jerome was on-site too. My friends and family said this was one of the nicest places they’ve ever stayed. World class.

I'm really not sure where to begin; to put it simply, I didn't want to leave, ever. I would have been quite happy taking up residency, eating Angela's delicious food and walking the properties trails forever.
We were a group of 12 women who stayed on the property for 6 days before leaving to run in the Florence half marathon. There was more than enough space for everyone. We did daily yoga in the yoga room and Jerome provided everything you could possibly need; mats, blocks, blankets. We did many of the hikes and the paths were well marked. We even spent one morning foraging for herbs and wild asparagus. We took full advantage of the spa and all it had to offer. I highly recommend using Angela to cook your meals. Everyone agreed that her lasagna was the best meal of our entire trip. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she will create a cookbook that I can purchase.
Jerome could not have been more responsive or helpful. I look forward to coming back in the near future with another group. The property is truly heaven on earth.

We stayed in this beautiful location and it was nothing short of perfect for our Amity Fitness Yoga & Fitness retreat. We had the entire space to ourselves and couldn't fault the accommodation, location, or service we received.
As we run 1 - 2 retreats each year, we feel we have somewhere we can go back to again and again to give our members a fantastic experience, to which all 20 fed back to us on our departure today.
We had the best time, and we will be going back

17 of us stayed at Jerome's lovely property for 6 days over the New Year making use of the excellent facilities and accommodation. We had everything we needed.
Fonte La Valle is a super base for a group holiday and must be wonderful in the summer.
Jerome is an excellent host and was very helpful.
We thoroughly recommend staying here.

La Valle is an absolutely stunning villa, set in a beautiful valley with lovely views in every direction and thoughtful details throughout the property such as dart boards, places for games, hammocks, and several outdoor sitting areas. We rented the entire villa for a group of 15, everyone was so pleased with their well appointed apartments and we all enjoyed cooking and eating meals together in the well equipped professional kitchen. When they remodeled this villa they really thought of everything! The spa is wonderful, the coffee machine heavenly, the staff helpful, friendly and responsive yet still discreet and the best part of Villa is the managers sweet dog Mirtillo! We absolutely loved our time at La Valle and would love to go back in the warmer months when the pool is open. You really don’t want to miss this place, if there were more than 5 stars I’d give it.

Podere La Valle looks very nice in the photos, but I have to say, it exceeded our expectations! Owners Jerome and Brigitte have done a fabulous job with this property, and personally work very hard to continue to enhance it. La Valle is very clean and the spa and grounds offer a variety of health and relaxation venues. Filomena and Suzanna prepared our breakfast for two weeks, and we loved every one of them. Filomena, Simone, Valentina and Suzanna prepared and served five dinners during our stay. Without a doubt, these dinners were the best meals we had. Our only regret was not having the time/schedule to get back to the villa for dinner every night. MOLTO BENE !!!Filomena's dog Murtillo is a gem, and only made our stay better. We had 20 family members and friends in our rotating group, and to the person all want to return. My only fear is as word gets out, it will be harder to book La Valle. To Jerome, Briggitte, Filomena, Suzanna, Simone, Valentina and Murtillo: GRAZIE!!!!!!

This place is much better than it looks in the pictures. The valley surrounding it is beautiful and peaceful. The owner did an outstanding job renovating (more like building up from scratch) the whole area and all different buildings that are on site. Everything has been built with great eye for detail, therefore it stands out from any other property in this area. Our stay here felt like being in a luxury resort - with everything that group a friends and a family with kids would possibly want .and need. All facilities are amazing (including pool and underground wellness) and the staff there is incredibly friendly and professional. On one of the nights, we used the catering services of the property manager, she cooked us the best homemade Italian dinner. To top it all off, there are some amazing walking trails through the valley around the property. We hosted a family holiday for a week including our wedding for 75 people for 2 days. We used the event planner, Sabrina, to help us organise the festivities. Everything worked out brilliantly. We would highly recommend this place for parties, events and holidays.
