Beautiful property. Remote, peaceful location. Valentina, the innkeeper, is a workhorse. The breakfast is over the top. Valentina recommended a cooking class with Elena that was an A+ experience at a nearby farm. Take our advice- do it! The olive trees and plantings are beautiful. The two boys that live on the property are a joy for the brief time we interacted with them. They have a farm feel with egg laying hens and pollinating bees.

The drive is a doozy. Once you do it, it becomes a non-issue. But if you do it at night make sure they drop a pin for you and you don’t just rely on google maps/car gps.

We enjoyed three nights at La Rimbecca, it was so enjoyable that we could easily have stayed longer if our holiday time permitted. We started our tour of Tuscany in Florence, following a stay near Sienna we travelled to Chianti in Greve, , stopping off at Montepulciano and Pienza on our way there. La Rimbecca was ideally situated for an easy drive to some beautiful landmarks in the region, including Badia a Passignago, Colle di Val d’Elsa and San Gimignano. We did not use the car on one day, walking instead along a beautiful forest trail to Montefioralle where we had a lovely lunch. We were made very welcome by our hosts at La Rimbecca and had a lovely room, which had a large fridge and kettle. Breakfast was served each morning in a small dining area or outside by the pool depending on weather. Homemade cakes, cheese, meats, pastries and much more made up a wholesome breakfast to start the day. There is no restaurant at La Rimbecca but our hosts provided a list of recommended restaurants in the area and a local pizza delivery. They also offered homemade and locally sourced cheese and meat platters, which were served with accompaniments; we took this option on two of our evenings and were overwhelmed with the amount of food offered, it was wonderful. A local shuttle run is also available to those who wish to eat at local restaurants and do not wish to drive. We read a review about the unmade road leading to La Rimbecca which caused slight concern prior to our stay, however it was not a problem whatsoever when taken at a reasonably slow speed and following the advice of the hosts at La Rimbecca who sent plenty of instructions on driving there. One thing not to miss is the amazing honey produced there, we could not resist bringing a jar home with us and with each mouthful I think of our wonderful stay at La Rimbecca.

Nothing comes to mind, it was wonderful

Loved the hospitality and kindness of the owners, what an experience! - thank you! The breakfasts were fantastic and the location is amazing if one is after some peace and quiet.

I understand the circumstances of the road conditions and the limitations of improving said conditions but all that does not make it easier to access the villa. A 4WD is highly recommend although not required. Another thing me and the family struggled with a little was the wifi signal strength in the rooms. Yes, it's because of the thick brick walls, I know.

the location was fantastic ( even if a little hard to reach but there was some thrill about driving on an old Roman road...) Valentina and her husband David were the kindest hosts. We arrived a little late but Valentina made sure we had a very nice dinner. During our stay they would always make sure we had our questions answered and always with a smile. Delicious breakfast with delicious tarts and jams made by Valentina, the honey and eggs from their farm...and of course for later in the day, their own olive oil and wine...And last but not least, a beautiful swimming pool with view on the Chianti landscapes Thank you so much. Un endroit magnifique, des hotes formidables et des produits de leur ferme delicieux!

The first time you get on the ancient Roman road (2km) to reach the property is a little bit exciting/stressful, but there are not bad surprises on the road, just ups and downs :) and David will answer the phone for any question about direction... and then the prize: once arrived, a piece of green heaven.

Davide and Valentina have created a paradise - all alone on a hill in Tuscany. They have been great hosts, taking care of all their guests' needs (restaurant reservations, wine tours, etc). The breakfast was really very good and had special Tuscan dishes every day. The pool was in an idyllic location and was also really fun for our two children (5 + 9 years). Please keep up the good work - we will definitely be back as it was one of our highlights on our Italy tour.

A few bees - but Valentina makes her own honey

Stunning, calm and relaxed setting. Room was clean and pool was superb. Breakfast each morning was an absolute highlight, the thought and time put into it is second to none. We would definitely come back!

Nothing really - more just for people to be aware that the drive to the property from the main road is on a bumpy gravel road about 1.8km so you would benefit from a decent sized car to manage this and to be able to get around the area

The hosts (a couple with two children) are very friendly, accommodating and helpful. They have already booked us a super restaurant in advance of our arrival, since we arrived later. The breakfast was excellent, there were always freshly baked cakes, homemade jams, honey, various salads and delicious cheese and meat. The hotel is cozy and the view is stunning. We would go again and can only recommend the accommodation. The road to the hotel is a bit rough and bumpy, but it is good to drive by car (we have a Skoda Octavia RS). With a car that is very lowered, it could become difficult.

Amazing, value for money country stay in the heart of Chianti. Wonderful hosts provided a superb room, delicious varied breakfast, and salumi and wine was available in the evening. Comfortable room, fast WiFi throughout the property, mineral swimming pool, relaxing sun loungers. What more would you want for a relaxing stay. A short drive to Greve and other small villages in Chianti but for intrepid hikers, there is a 20 min steep walk to town.

We absolutely loved our stay at La Rimbecca! We spent two nights there but wished it was longer. It's very peaceful with amazing views of the surrounding area. Our room was beautifully renovated, and felt like we were staying in a much more expensive place. We found the property very easily using google maps, it's also very well signed. And we enjoyed the experience of driving in on a roman road! Can't wait for our next stay here.

Located on a beautiful spot in the Tuscan hills, La Rimbecca is a magical place where you can combine visiting Tuscany with relaxation. Valentina & Family are very helpful and hard-working hosts. A fresh breakfast is served every morning. La Rimbecca has a nice pool and gardens to relax in. The rooms are fitted with air conditioning and the windows can be 100% darkened.

One thing to take into consideration is that the ancient Roman road leading to the villa might be a challenge for a low car.
