The staff was amazingly helpful, they helped us with ancillary activities and recommended the places to visit. Le vecchie Cantine itself is a wonderful place, in the heart of little Italian town Chianni where the time seems to stop... The room had beautiful arches and furniture seeming to date old times, but it was equipped with XXI century conveniences such as air conditioning. Perfect combination! The food was delicious and waiters helpful with making a choice from food and an extensive wine list. Fully recommend!

If you visit Chianni, make sure to come by car - the bus transportation was not that trustworthy (we tried taking the early morning ride twice and it had some problems, the bus never arrived - we saw the bus from the car so it is a valid bus, it just had problems).
If you go into the nearest town, Pontedera, you can easily reach bigger cities by train - trains are great in Italy, you can go to Livorno, Pisa, Florence, etc.
In Chianni, there are some shops you can buy local foods (a mini market in the middle of the town), also some bars, bistros and restaurants, we visited the one named Le Vecchie Cantine, and although they have a short menu, the foods were incredible (try the Zuppa Toscana or the pasta with the typical Tuscan sauce). There were many options for vegetarians (I think you can even ask for vegan versions, but the Zuppa (soup) eg. is vegan in itself), and also we could eat gluten free pasta, they were really prepared. The staff was super kind too (it worth to book a table in advance when you walk by to make sure you have space, especially if you're a family of 4-5).
Chianni is a typical Tuscan town, with beautiful houses, and small streets - wear something comfy as it's a town in a hillside, you can walk around by foot without a problem but there is a bit of a level difference :)
I'd recommend to anyone, really, to families, to couples, to single travellers, it's a place worth visiting!

A very pretty, lively village with rather steep little streets. Several pubs and restaurants. Best icecream in Bar Centrale, great pizza in Anna's Bar.
Local grocery stores are tiny and a bit overprized, but supermarkets are only 20 minutes away.
Most younger villagers speak fluent English.
It is great to start the day with a cup of coffee when collecting bread in the local bakery, or to walk to the village in the night which comes to life in the late evening.
Well located to visit Volterra, Pisa, Firenze, San Gimingano...

Chianni is situated in farm/wine country.
Chianni is situated in farm/wine country. The landscape is beautiful. Many parts of Italy are accessible within a 1 hour drive. Keep in mind that Chianni is just another medieval town on the top of a hill. There are dozens of these towns throughout this region.
We stayed at Casa Domiano for five nights. The apartment is well equipped and has great Tuscany viewed. There is a pavilion outside where you can hide from the sun during the day or enjoy a warm evening. Our 3 kids loved the small pool a lot, especially its jacuzzi mode.
Of course, the highlight of the place is hospitality that Mauro and Tiziana share with their guests. They gave us some tips about the places around. Also Mauro brought a small table for our little son and was bringing small gifts during the stay. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

We felt extremely welcome the minute we first spoke with the hotelmanager. He was always very helpful and checking if everything was fine. The rest of the staff has the same attitude.
The restaurant has great dishes and offers a great variety of good wines, prosecco's and champagne's. Prices are cheap. The location is very authentic and we noticed the locals love eating over there as well (which is always a good indicator).
The hotel is a great value for money.
Managed by the owner who was present and available at all times, excellent staff, we felt like family in this hotel. It is a small facility with the charm of a small town and we met very nice and friendly town residents !!! Specially Mrs. Elizabetha who treat us like old friends and provided excellent recommendations of near towns to visit. The hotel is close to Teatro del Silenzio at Lajatico if you plan to assist to Andrea Bocelli annual concert.
Perfect non commercial location ( typical tuscany village)
Very nice and helpful hosts, comfortable and fully equipped appartment ( the whole flat), with beautiful view from terrace, perfect location for trips to the most important sights ( Pisa, Volterra, Sienna, San Gimignano).
Thank you for spending beautiful Easter!
The view from the balcony was incredible!!! The apartment was clean and well prepared and there was enough place for 2 adults and 2 kids. Very nice swimming pool, cleaned everyday. Chianni is beautiful historical town with everything You need (shop, restaurant, cafe). We will defintely come back.
Good breakfast selection, buffet style. Typical cold style continental breakfast with Italian cakes and treats too. Excellent coffee!
Excellent evening meal at the hotel restaurant.
Outdoor pool looked good but was still a bit cold to use at the time of year we stayed. Nice room.

Amazing flat in Chianni. The beds we were so comfortable I overslept every day. Roberta and her lovely father were amazing hosts and helped me out when my hire car developed a problem. Roberta checked in with me and was a great host.
The photos don't do this house justice. It was beautiful really comfortable & spacious. It is right beside a fabulous restaurant & easy walking distance to Chianni day or night as there is street lighting between the villages.
