About this house rental
Granaio is a tiny village composed of four groups of houses and a little church on top of a hill in the heart of Chianti, near Castellina.
It used to be a farm village but the houses have all been restored as holiday houses and now there is a swimming pool with a fantastic view over the hills and a tennis court.
It is a very quiet and peaceful place, at Granaio you can read, paint, swim or play tennis, go for walks or go sightseeing along the old Chianti road. Siena and S.Gimignano are less than 30 minutes away, Florence and Volterra less than an hour’s drive.
At Granaio you will need a car, so you can either come by car or rent one at the airport when you arrive. The nearest shopping centre is at Poggibonsi, which is 7 Km. away from the village.
Accomodation for 5:
- 2 bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with a single bed and a buck bed)
- 1 bathroom
- 1 sitting room with fireplace
- 1 dining room/kitchen
- 1 private garden at the back
How to reach Granaio from Pisa Airport: 1)Follow the signs to Florence. Before you arrive in Florence take the Autostrada (motorway) “A1” Milano-Roma and go towards Roma. You leave it, soon after, at the exit “Firenze Impruneta”. As soon as you are out of the motorway you turn right towards SIENA (Superstrada, not a motorway but a dual-carriage fast road).
2) Follow this road for about 30 Km and exit at POGGIBONSI NORD. At the roundabout go towards “Poggibonsi centro”. Go straight on for less than 1 Km. and then turn left on the VIA CHIANTIGIANA (it is not a big road). Follow the Via Chiantigiana for about 7 Km.. You will see a (beautiful) church called “Cedda” on your right, then the “Chianti Melini’s farm”, again on your right. Slow down now, after 300 m. turn left on the next gravel road located at the side of a curve. Follow this road for 2 Km. and you will soon see “Granaio”.
How to reach Granaio from Florence: 1) Follow the signs to Siena/Impruneta/Galluzzo. The road will take you out of the city. When you reach the big roundabout at Firenze Impruneta, you will see the motorway on your right, take the next exit from the roundabout signposted SIENA.

Lovely quiet place in the countryside but still close to everything. Enjoyed exploring the towns and wineries nearby. Lots of great restaurants around where we had some very memorable meals.

This is a perfect property for a couple or small family. The directions Alessandra provided (including pictures) and instructions on how to self-check-in were perfect. The localita road to Granaio is a little bumpy, and on reflection we would have hired a car with slightly better suspension to a Fiat Panda. That said, it wasn't a difficult drive.
The house is well appointed and the kitchen particularly has everything you need for cooking full meals is that's what want to do (as I did).
Alessandra is a wonderful host and was happy to answer all my daft questions via WhatsApp while we were there.
It's worth noting that we travelled to Siena and Florence via train from Poggibonsi and this was both inexpensive and convenient.

Wir (Familie,Kids 11u. 10 Jahre ) hatten eine sehr schöne Woche im wundervollen Chianti .
Die Wohnung ist prima ausgestattet, alles da was man braucht.
Leider sind die Regeln am Pool zu streng. Es scheint nicht gewollt zu sein das Familien dort verweilen, es gibt weder Sonnenschirme noch Liegen, noch darf man Luftmatratzen o.ä. mitnehmen. Reinspringen natürlich auch nicht...... Fanden die Jungs nicht so toll.
