Our GPS directed us from Rome through the hills of Chianti where we were greeted by Tatiana and Stefano at Castellare in Chianti. Our shared villa second floor apartment was luxurious including a queen size bed, convertible sofa, full bath, dining area, kitchen and a view of the courtyard. A garden with arugula, lettuce and fruit, which is available to all the guests, made our evening meals extra special. After day tripping in Sienna, Arezzo and Florence the villa pool was refreshing. The end of our stay included a “family style” meal for all the guests with pizza made by a quest chef in the courtyard’s wood fired brick oven.
