Antico Borgo Montefienali - Apartment La Chiocciola

Borgo di Montefienali is a medieval hamlet , dating back to the 13th Century , was once a resting place along the ancient Roman road that linked the cities Siena and Arezzo. Set at the edge of the Chianti region, it is very isolated and offers the tranquillity of a rural village, combined with the richness of the Tuscan architectonic style consisting of fired bricks, wooden beams and centuries-old stones which were smoothed by nature and time.The hamlet has been restored into 20 private apartments. The garden and pool are shared among all guests.
After a two-year restoration project Montefienali is once more the ideal place for rest and recuperation for both body and mind and an ideal get away from it all. It is a great place to go hiking or for expert bikers through woods and vineyard. This is a resort that puts you in touch with nature. Its high point is the perfect place for the twin swimming pools. There is a 15 mts x 7,5 mt pool and a small children's swimming pool. Sun beds furnish the surrounding garden and terraces to provide a great place for basking in the sun. Pools are open from May to October.

Rustig, pittoresk verblijf te midden van Toscaanse bergen
Het was een zeer rustige ontspannende vakantie. Het 13de eeuws dorpje straalt rust uit. Ook aan het zwembad was het meestal rustig. Het was wel een verrassing dat er geen telefonisch bereik was maar met WiFi in het huisje hadden we toch nog connectie met de buitenwereld. Het dorpje ligt in de bergen in een bosrijk gebied op 3 km van de gewone weg met 2km onverhard en de laatste km 25% helling met een rijstrook... dus wel spannend om ‘s avonds te rijden. De dichtstbijzijnde winkel was toch wel 20min rijden, daarom was het spijtig dat er geen winkeltje was waar je dagelijks vers brood kon kopen. Verder hebben we wel genoten van bezoekjes aan de talrijke historische dorpjes en stadjes in de buurt.
