Just a short walk from Loro Ciuffenna, this ground-floor apartment has views across the valley. The owner and their family live on the first floor and may occasionally nip down to use the pool. Otherwise, the covered terrace and garden are yours to enjoy. The design inside is minimal and uncluttered. Some of the en-suite bathrooms are a squeeze, but we love that each bedroom opens onto the garden. Loro Ciuffenna has a nice collection of cafes, restaurants and shops, but for adventures further afield, hop in the car and explore Chianti. Arezzo, Gaiole, and Radda are less than an hour's drive.

Home truths
The owner lives on the first floor, and their family may occasionally use the pool. If you prefer total privacy, this may not be the home for you.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair on request.
Some of the bathrooms in this home are very small. That said, they have everything you need to get ready for the day.
The swimming pool is only available to use between May and September. It's unfenced, so children must be supervised at all times.
Although Loro Ciuffenna is within walking distance, we suggest hiring a car for adventures further afield. There's private parking onsite, as well as an EV charger a few metres away.
