About this cottage rental
La Tinaia is a lovely 1-bedroom apartment here at Podere Patrignone in Tuscany at the south-side of the Podere Patrignone estate. It was not on the original purchase plans back in the 1980’s but my father found a door buried under a huge bramble bush when they were clearing the site, and inside were the large beautiful wine-barrels where they used to store the chianti wine. Hence the name, "La Tinaia", which means wine store. My father used much of the old chestnut and oak wood from the barrels to make the furniture in Tinaia, especially the large beautiful kitchen table.
Tinaia has a lovely sunny rear garden with views over our olive groves, forests, and the vineyards beyond. Inside, there’s a good-sized kitchen, dining area and living area, with a large fireplace, The fire is lovely to use in the Spring and Autumn, and it also heats the bedroom and bathroom radiators. The bedroom itself has a lovely east-facing window, and large king-size bed, dressing table and wardrobe, and leads on the lovely bright bathroom with an enamel bath, shower, toilet, bidet and wash basin.
There is a shared swimming pool with the most amazing views, an Honesty Bar fully stocked with my favourite local organic wines and spirits, free Wifi, and of course, you can always borrow our dogs and go for long walks.
This apartment rental is a favourite for all romantic couples, and usually fills up fast, so book early to avoid disappointment. You find out more information on our website: look for "Podere Patrignone"

Location
Patrignone is right in the middle of Chianti, at the epicentre of Tuscany's cultural treasures, just 10 minutes from the beautiful hill-top town of Castellina in Chianti, with its full complement of restaurants, cafés and shops (and a small supermarket). Siena is just 35 minutes away, and Florence 40 minutes in the other direction, San Gimignano is 30 mins away, with Volterra the next village along. You really couldn't pick a more central location. There's no doubt that you'll need a car to get the most of Chianti's nooks and crannies, but if you feel like venturing further afield, within a 1.5-hour drive you'll find white sandy beaches, typically beautiful seaside resorts, dozens of hot springs, and the majesty of the snow-covered Apennines, clearly visible from Patrignone's terracotta terrace. And if you're into cycling, tennis, golf, ballooning or fishing, these activities and more can easily be organised. Just let us know what your interests are, and we'll give you some options.

Country setting with beautiful views. Low key and a good place to unplug. Good restaurants and villages near by. Simon was helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

The property was exactly as described. The owners spend a lot of effort to make sure everything is very clear and even prepare a "book" for you about the property and things to do in the area (day trips, restaurants, wine tasting, etc.) My wife and I loved it here. The property is very central in Tuscany and is great for making day trips. The arrival snacks and honesty bar are a great touch.
If you are a couple looking for a romantic place to relax in Tuscany that is central enough for day trips, this cottage could be for you. It is old and rustic, which means it's not like staying in a 5-star hotel. But it has loads of charm and is quite cosy - perfect for a romantic getaway.
We enjoyed the property and hiking through the woods and olive groves. We would definitely stay here again on another trip. Highly recommended.

Nine of us, four children and five adults, just returned from an Italian adventure of a lifetime. The highlight of our trip (agreed by all) was a wonderful week at Podere Patrignone with Simon, Verity and the boys.
The beauty of the property and Tuscany can be viewed in photos, but, in reality, exceeds all expectations. Patrignone is the perfect, stress free base to relax, enjoy and explore. The opportunities to visit, dine and experience authentic Italy are easy and numerous. Cycling in the area is sublime - the rolling hills, good roads and low traffic made for unbelievable and challenging road bike riding. Our best day was spent on rented e-bikes (with the kids age 12 and 13) touring San Gimignano and surrounding area. Although the boys (age 11, 12 and grown up) might say our evening encounter with the "wild" boars was memorable!
We stayed in the 7-bedroom villa which was historic, charming, well appointed and extremely comfortable. We loved unwinding, and comparing stories and tips with fellow travellers while enjoying sunsets, swims and Chianti each evening.
What made our visit so extraordinary was the effort, personal touches and hospitality of Simon and Verity. From the pre-arrival information, to the welcome snacks (olive oil, fresh baked bread, cheese and wine), the homemade Tuscan feast, the walking maps of the area, the well stocked hospitality bar, to the assistance with reservations and help with the local bike shop, the family went above and beyond to ensure our stay was easy, perfect and memorable. We are so grateful to have found this idyllic, and joyful place - and hope to return!

Propriété agréable, isolée mais accès par sentier peu commode. (Sentier privé avec crevasses, pas très carrossable.) Mais on oublie une fois sur place, le site est fabuleux.
Situation idéale pour visiter les villes comme Sienne Florence San Gimigniano...
Logement conforme à la description mais demanderait à être rénové.
Piscine formidable. Attention, la tranquillité dépend des autres voyageurs qui n'ont visiblement pas tous lu le book très explicite et détaillé de Simon car tous ne respectent pas les règles !
Absence de management sur place, néanmoins Marcu et son épouse sont très gentils, malgré le fait qu'ils ne parlent que peu l'anglais.
Nous aurions bien goûté les produits locaux en vente sur place, mis sans dégustation prévue, nous avons préféré nous approvisionner en huile et vin ailleurs. Dommage.
Malgré ces critiques qui se veulent constructives, le séjour fut très agréable.
