Lippi at Galenda
Location address: Localita' Galenda - Gaiole in Chianti - Siena
The villa Lippi is close to the original small pretty chapel of the Hamlet Galenda. The restoration of this lovely home was undertaken with extreme attention to materials. Lippi has the traditional Tuscan wooden beamed ceilings and original external stonewalls. The furniture is modern, yet tasteful and chosen with care.
The villa is in a private area of Galenda and it has a small furnished balcony to dine al fresco that overlooks the little chapel and the central grassy piazza of the hamlet. Lippi is ideal for a couple that are looking for a romantic holiday in an elegant countryside home with good access to the sights.
The villa is entered up several stairs into the lounge area where there is a comfortable double sofa bed and two chairs in front of a modern fireplace. The airy living area is fully equipped with a flat screen SAT TV, DVD and CD players for indoor entertainment.
Immediately entering into the lounge, on the left hand side, there is a fully equipped kitchen with gas hobs, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and oven. The kitchen is close to the door leading to the balcony which provides with lots of light.
In one corner there is a table with two chairs and a comfortable wooden bench with pillows for inside dining. A large window with view is close to the dining area.
A couple of steps away from the kitchen is a pretty bedroom with a comfortable super king size bed. The bedroom is near to the bathroom which has a shower.
The owner is a young interior designer and the villa is tastefully furnished.
Internet WI-FI available in the villa for free. Please bring your own laptop.

Galenda is a small romantic hamlet located not far from Radda in Chianti and Gaiole in Chianti, two of the main towns of the area. Galenda sits at the top of a hill surrounded by typical Chianti Classico Tuscan landscape with cypresses, olive groves and vineyards.

Rust, prachtige ligging, erg mooi appartement. Een top vakantie plek!
De douche (temperatuur niet goed te regelen)
Het bed sliep onwijs slecht, de matras op het bed is echt veel te dun.
Radda is een hele goede uitvalsbasis met goede restaurants.
Omgeving leent zich goed voor MTB-en. Echt een prachtig gebied.
Ricasoli is een aanrader als je een mooi wijnhuis met goede rondleiding zoekt!

Hi Dympna:
I'm not sure if I had written about our wonderful experience during our stay at Lippi in Galenda. It was the best vacation we have ever had. We did a lot of driving and site-seeing including visits to Florence, Pisa, Livorno, Certaldo Alto, San Gimignano and Siena. We enjoyed dining and walking around Radda as well. About 1,500 pictures later we have great memories of our vacation.
I have also done some oil paintings of a few Chianti scenes and hope to do more in the coming months. My favourites are of a small square in Radda and one of Galenda. You can see the paintings on my online art gallery ww.camilleriart.com
We hope we can return again in the near future.
Cheders,
Wilfred (Accommodation: Lippi)

Overall impression: very comfortable, stylish and roomy. perfect for a family. Good utilities, comfortable beds, good hot water supply. Great lcation and views.
Highlights: finding the natural pools nearby. having breakfast outside our villa in the wonderful suuroundings. THe local wildlife, lizards butterflies, moths etc. The local town. Shooting stars at night.
Unpleasant surprises: a scorpion in the wooden lounge table, but this was quite exciting. Regular Appearance of horse flies at the pool side especially when lawns being mowed. Meant we had to vacate poolside after short periods of time. Locked ourselves out by accident first day as we didn't realise door would self lock when closed, please warn guests.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
