Fattoria di Lamole - Le Volpaie

Greve in Chianti

For our Easter weekend in Tuscany we chose to stay at the Fattoria Di Lamole. Lamole is a hilltop village that is situated 1 hour south of Florence. It’s in the heart of the Chianti region, right next to the charming medieval villages such as Volpaia and Radda and 1 hour and half from Siena. There is so much to see and taste that is worthwhile in this region. The Tuscan landscape at sunset is simply epic.

Be aware that it is a long, winding and narrow drive up to the top so drive slowly because of oncoming traffic and the locals drive with speed and experience.

We stayed in one of a group of family owned houses. The house we chose offers 3 guest rooms for couples and is run by a respected local wine-producer. It is simply decorated and offers a lot of indoor charm. The fully furbished kitchen is large and delightfully rustic. Because we decided to visit on Easter weekend (which is still chilly) we spent many evenings in the kitchen around the warm fire place, sipping wine, nibbling all sorts of antipasti and playing card games.

The 3 bed rooms each offer simple comforts and essential necessities. There is a cupboard for clothes, a double bed, warm linen, shower, sink and toilet. The rooms are made every day and fresh towels are supplied. There is access to internet but do not expect to view the latest trending video on YouTube. Because of the thick stone walls the WiFi’s bandwidth is limited to the host’s office. This is the perfect excuse to do a smart phone or device detox, connect with loved ones and enjoy the simpler things in life, like a good wine.

This is an old stone farm house so heating in the spring and fall can be a challenge. But the bed quilts and linen will keep you warm and snug. There’s also plenty of firewood readily available to stoke a fire until the late hours or the new day.

Hosts Paolo and Juliana are eager to please and will set a full breakfast at your preferred time. They will also gladly supply you with local produce from delicious cured ham to olive oil and even their own wine: Le Stinche (pronounced Stinky), which is a lovely Castello di Lamole Chianti Classico. Bibo, the hosts dog, is extremely friendly and eager to be petted.

Unless you plan to eat out for every lunch and dinner of your stay, we do recommend buying food supplies and drinking water. You can buy local produce at the Ristoro di Lamole, but for the basics there is a Coop in nearby Greve.

We came to Lamole and fell in love with its simplicity and proximity to all things charming about the Chianti region. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the region and have a relaxing stay in a quiet farm house.

Easter Weekend in Lovely Chianti

It's a nice place, just outside of Lamole, to get to, like, a mile of very flat dirt... but once you get there... you'll be rewarded, from a beautiful location, and from a place to relax to the big one!

What a beautiful place!

A little lost in the muddy fields, the street dirt to get us very friendly owners, the typical rustic rooms..... the only sin not recently invasion of cockroaches and various insects inside the room....not pleasant, even if we are in the open countryside....

It's a shame the invasion of cockroaches.

If you want to relax this is the right place for you!! immersed in nature maybe even a little too much because if you are thirsty at night and have no water to drink!! that sink is not potable! our rustic room with wooden beams from which every 15 minutes fell a frog and bugs and other insects, but you are in the open countryside so there are two exquisite owners and at hand ready to give you advice and satisfy you in all your requests.. a little lost but if you are nature lovers this place is the right one!! doesn't take the phone and there are TVs!!

Relax and... cook!

You have to climb the hills and take a little white road to get to the farmhouse.It is divided into two blocks a few minutes' drive from each other.The first one is the reception for the reception.The second one has the breakfast room.We had a beautiful apartment with a breathtaking view of the vineyards, in absolute silence.There is also a swimming pool, not very large but well equipped with drawers and tables.The friendly owners are available.

The True Tuscan Country

Hi Madam, do you have accommodation for 4 people, maybe a house? Yes, we have an apartment for 90 euros a day!?!? well, we arrive!!!!! it only covers at the end of the stay that they were 90 per day per couple (overnight only).
