One of the best places we've stayed at

This was honestly one of the best places we've stayed at in our travels. The views are magnificent, the apartment has everything you would need, and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay in Castellina.

Relaxing holiday

The appartment is part of a cottage surrounded by wineyards and olive trees. The place is very cozy. You will find yourself surrounded by nature and able to watch beautiful sunsets from your terrace or the poolside (great view!). The cleaned appartment contains everything you might need. You can see that the location is taken care of with lots of love. Linda, the host, is very nice and made our stay even more enjoyable. We can only recommend this place and look forward to enjoy it again.

Fantastisch

Die Unterkunft ist perfekt gelegen, um die Toskana (mit dem Auto) zu erkunden. Wir waren im Rosmarin-Apartment untergebracht und hatten ein paar sehr schöne Tage in Castellina in Chianti - die Restaurants, die Linda empfahl, waren allesamt gut und das Gemüse aus ihrem Garten mindestens genauso sehr. 
Der Pool hatte die perfekte Temperatur, um an heißen Tagen etwas Erfrischung zu bieten und der Blick ist absolut fantastisch! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Beautiful country home

Beautiful country home with 3 separate apartments each with private entry. We had a car so we were 1 min from town which is a lovely day trip. We drove twice to Siena for the day only 30 mins south. The grounds are very peaceful and the room was quiet. Fresh grapes and peaches right outside our door! Gorgeous pool with view of the Tuscan valley. The property is very secluded and lovely. The hosts were great! Linda, her husband and daughters were fabulous

Great place. Cannot recommend it enough.

Great stay

We had a great stay at Linda’s place in Castellina! It is a very charming apartment that has a perfect location. The town is close by and very cute - great restaurants. She even had a baby crib and high chair for our son which was great. Would definitely reccomend to anyone looking to stay in the Tuscan countryside!

Superbe hébergement

Superbe hébergement répondant parfaitement à nos attentes, la piscine avec sa vue sur les vignes est géniale. Localisation idéale pour visiter le Chianti. Très bon accueil de Linda qui nous a donné des conseils pour les visites et a su se rendre disponible pour nous.
Petit bonus du dernier jour, nous avons été réveillés par un renard en train de jouer dans le jardin avec le chat de la maison. Un vrai coin de nature.

Wunderschönes, stilvolles Haus im Chiantigebiet

Das Apartamento Lavanda ist geräumig, sehr stilvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet mit einer gut ausgestatteten Küche und hat eine eigene, von den anderen Bereichen weit entfernt liegende Terasse. Der sehr große Pool mit toller Aussicht liegt 3 min entfernt. Das Haus insgesamt ist wunderschön und liegt in typischer Toskanaumgebung neben Weinstöcken. Linda hat uns sehr nett willkommen geheißen und gleich köstliche Tomaten aus ihrem Garten geschenkt. Zum Dorf Castellina kommt man in 20 min zu Fuß, dort kann man einkaufen, gut essen und flanieren. Wir hatten insgesamt eine tolle, erholsame Zeit in Godenano di Mezzo und empfehlen sie dringend weiter!

Séjour Chianti

Une très belle propriété bien restaurée dans le style Toscan , entre vignoble et village , au coeur du Chianti...Environnement très calme pour un séjour en famille réussi!

Francis 20 July 2022 Francia

Alles war prima :-)

Die Unterkunft befindet sich in einer traumhaft schönen Umgebung. Idealer Ausgangspunkt, um die umliegenden Dörfer und Städte zu erkunden. Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen.

Stefanie 04 July 2022 Germania

Toscana bella

We genoten echt van dit mooie verblijf in Toscane. In het stadje vlakbij kan je ook heerlijk eten.

Amber 30 June 2022 Olanda

Tuscan paradise

We stayed several nights and had an amazing time, especially the pool area is out of this world and the views are incredible. Linda was great and helped us a lot! We will definitely come back and recommend the place!
Rachel 25 June 2022 Köln

Rolige omgivelser

Skøn lejlighed med fantastisk beliggenhed og gåafstand til hyggelig by. Udlejer meget hjælpsom og venlig. Helt sikkert et besøg og genbesøg værd.

Ancient farm situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico Senese, Pool and View

Wir haben die Wohnung für ein paar Tage gebucht. Die Wohnung besaß alle Annehmlichkeiten die für unseren Aufenthalt von Nöten waren. Von der Gastgeberin haben wir zusätzlich mehrere Tipps über gute Restaurants in der Umgebung erhalten. Der Pool mit dem damit verbundenen Ausblick über die Hügel der Toskana waren ein Traum. Unsere Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und hatte jederzeit ein offenes Ohr für unsere Belange. So okay Wir können die Wohnung die wir gemietet haben sehr empfehlen und freuen uns auf unseren nächsten Aufenthalt.

Alexander 02 September 2021 DEUTSCHLAND

Erwartungen übertroffen!

Wir waren hier insgesamt 18 Nächte und haben uns in dieser Zeit richtig gut erholt! Die Unterkunft war ein Traum, vor allem der Pool. Die Abendessen mit Ausblick auf die toskanische Landschaft mit ihren Weinbergen und Olivenhainen werden wir sehr vermissen, zumal wir von Linda mit noch sonnenwarmem Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten verwöhnt wurden! Die Anlage ist sehr sauber, hier gibt es Nichts zu beanstanden. Vom Haus aus läuft man ca 20 Minuten nach Castellina, ein malerisches, typisch toskanisches Dorf mit sehr guten Restaurants. Auch strategisch liegt das Haus sehr gut, wenn man mit dem Auto die zahlreichen Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe erkunden will. Wir werden definitiv wieder

Robert Herschel 15 August 2021

Absolutely great!

It was absolutely great! We’ve stayed at the Lavanda apartment, and even it was around +35 degrees outside, the inside was cool and comfortable. The pool was fantastic! Comes with an incredible view, clean and tidy. If you come without a car (like we did) be prepared to hike a little to the town, it’s very close (10 min max) uphill. When you get there, do not ignore the ‘Gelateria di Castellina’ - some of the finest gelato in the region, if not the world. Also, for fine dining experience visit Michelin-star ed Ristorante Albergaccio di Castellina. You won’t regret. Would definitely come back!
Sandra 03 August 2021

Beautiful stay

We had a great stay at the Lavender apartment. The location is great and the apartment was very clean and well equipped with everything you need. The town Castellina in Chianti also offers lots of good restaurants. We can only recommend staying at Linda‘s place!

Laura 07 July 2021

Alles bestens

Das Objekt war wie beschrieben, gemütlich und ruhig. Linda hat uns u. a. gute Tipps für Ziele in der Umgebung gegeben. Die Lage ist optimal zum Besuch von Siena, Florenz, San Gimignano, Volterra und anderem.

Ulrike Huegel 11 October 2020

We very much enjoyed our stay at Linda's place, in the rosmarin appartment.
Korbinian 08 October 2020

Super Urlaub

Unser Aufenthalt auf dem wunderschönen Anwesen von Linda war einfach perfekt! Der Pool ist grandios mit einer tollen Aussicht. Das Appartement sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Linda ist sehr nett und steht für Fragen immer zur Verfügung. Wir kommen sicherlich wieder.

Stefanie Ehrmann 04 October 2020

Best sunset!

Godenano di Mezzo offers beautiful apartments with a fantastic pool in the heart of Chianti region. It is the perfect location to start different activities in the Tuscany. Linda is a very warmful, professional and supportive host. We enjoyed every single day of our vacation there and can recommend the apartments in every sense!! P.S. With the pool view you have the best sunset spot of the city :)

Florian 21 September 2020

Best Pool

Best pool and private easy access terrace. Covid compliant (assigned pool loungers). Only had difficulty finding the place - look in (Hidden by Airbnb) maps for 
Godenano Di Mezzo. Linda is charming. Would recommend.

Lindsay 10 September 2020

Echt fantastisch!

Een heerlijk verblijf op een rustige plek. We werden ontzettend goed ontvangen door de vriendelijke Linda. Het appartement/huisje was hartstikke netjes en schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Verder een prachtig terrasje buiten en een heerlijk zwembad met een fantastisch uitzicht. Je kan San Gimignano in de verte zien liggen.

Patrick Olinga 07 September 2020

Perfect for some quiet time

We had a wonderful stay in Castellina in Chianti. Our apartment was really spacious with a beautiful view over the tuscany hills. The pool and its view are wonderful. It is perfect if you look for a quiet time and to relax. But it is also perfectly situated to visit Florence or even the sea for a day trip. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back some day. Thank you Linda!

Anna Juchert 02 September 2020

Peace and relax!

We had a wonderful and relaxed week at Linda’s appartement Falco. The appartement is well furnished and equiped with everything you need. There are al lot of stairs to go up but the view is quite amazing!!  
Vor dem Appartement muss man eine andere Treppe hoch-dort findet man einen Garten mit schönen Olivenbäumen und einer überdachten Sitzgelegenheit. Wir haben hier gerne gefrühstückt und zu Abend gegessen. Das Appartement und die ganze Anlage sind wirklich sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die Pool-Area ist sehr schön, ordentlich und man hat einen tollen Ausblick. Linda reinigt den Pool regelmäßig und man kann den Tag dort sehr genießen. 
Linda ist hilfsbereit und immer für ein Schwätzchen zu haben. Dabei aber nie aufdringlich. In der Nähe befindet sich die pittoreske Kleinstadt Castellina, von der man auf der Anlage aber nichts mitbekommt, es ist wirklich schön ruhig. 

Wer Entspannung und gepflegtes Ambiente mit einem netten Host sucht, der ist bei Linda gut aufgehoben! 
Danke Linda, für die schöne Woche bei dir!
Ulrike 27 August 2020

Relaxing holiday

My girlfriend and I had 6 super relaxed days at Linda's property. We had a private terrace and the apartment was well equipped. So we had a lot of nice breakfasts and dinners. If you want to chill, you can do it at the great pool. The pool is pretty big, so you can swim really well. The view is fantastic and the sunsets lovely. The whole garden is kept very well and if you are lucky, fruits or vegetables are ripe so you can taste the good tomatos that Linda is growing. The area is ideal for road biking or Vespa rides. Two perfect ways to get know the wonderful landscape of Tuscany. If you are a wine lover, you can do tasting in one of the marvelous wineries in the region. The town castellina in chianti is very sweet and offers a lot of good restaurants. If you want to visit a bigger city, Siena is only 30 minutes away. Linda is very friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back.

Oliver 25 August 2020

Wonderful place!

From the moment we arrived, Linda was incredibly welcoming and kind. The apartment was lovely and ideal for two people. Linda gave us some great local tips and was even kind enough to give us some tomatoes and zucchini’s from her garden. The pool is excellent and a great place to relax. We felt very safe and well looked after given the situation with coronavirus.

The apartment is well located to the local town of Castellina, it’s only about a 10 minute walk. Driving takes less than 5 minutes. The house is also a less than 30 min drive from some excellent local wineries. 

We couldn’t have had a better stay, thank you Linda for everything!

Jazzmine 21 August 2020

Wonderful time

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed IT very much. The host, Linda, was very kind and helpful. We very much recommend this location if you are looking to stay in the beautiful Chianti region

Francis Van Glabbeek 28 July 2020

Calme, propreté, confort

Une semaine passée dans le site de Godenano di mezzo, c'est superbe. Calme, propreté, confort, voilà les qualificatifs qui s’attachent à l’appartement Rosmarino que nous avons occupé, en plus de l'accueil. Nous n’avons pas gouté à la belle piscine qui est idéalement située car la saison ne s'y prêtait pas, il faudra revenir, . Les vendanges aux alentours continuaient mi-octobre et les couleurs viraient vers l’automne, bref magnifique. A conseiller sans modération.

Fantastic holidays, Eileen B.,USA

We've had a wonderful time at this most beautiful place. The apartment itself was very cosy and very thoughtful decorated. We enjoyed our daily breakfast in the garden with having such a gorgeous view. From this place it's easy to visit different cities and vineyards. Linda, the host, is very kindful. Thanks for staying with you....

Perfect Chianti refuge, Morris H.

This property is the perfect place to enjoy the beauty and serenity of Chianti. Roomy comfortable apartment with a patio of its own and plenty of peace and quiet in the gorgeous Chianti countryside. Just a short distance outside Castellina in Chianti, which besides being incredibly charming also has many conveniences like a market, laundromat, good restaurants and shops. Combine all this with a gracious hostess (Linda) and you have the makings of a perfect Chianti refuge. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

Morris H., 27 September 2019

Linda’s place is amazing.

The apartment is very clean and supplied with everything you need. Linda is very easy to communicate with and very happy to help you enjoy your time. We would definitely recommend her place and hope to travel to Tuscany again and stay at Linda’s :)

Wonderful stay in a beautiful spot, Bonnie K., USA

We loved our stay at Godenano di Mezzo. Linda was very accommodating, and the apartment is gorgeous. Beautifully decorated with attention to every detail, very comfortable bed, lovely views of the valley below and the surrounding vineyards and olive groves. It was a pleasure to do laps in the pool after a day out in the countryside, then kick back with a glass of Chianti Classico and enjoy the view. Linda shared some of her garden tomatoes and their own olive oil, which was delicious. She also arranged a wine tour to small local wineries which we loved. Very near the sweet town of Castellina, and an easy drive to/from Florence and Siena. Highly recommend!

Bonnie K., USA 14 September 2019

We had a lovely week at Linda' s apartment, Inez, Anversa Belgium

We had a lovely week at Linda' s apartment. From the moment we arrived we knew we chose the right place to spend our summer holiday. We enjoyed the pool with an amazing view over the valley and almost every evening we watched the sunset on the absolutely stunning terrace. Linda and her family were really helpful and welcoming. Also the area is amazing and you have lots to do. We would definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to go to Tuscany.

Wonderful!, Katarina S., USA

We had a wonderful time! The property is beautiful, surrounded by vineyards and olive tree orchards.

There is a really delicious gelato place walking distance from the farmhouse.

Perfect stay, Klaus G. Germany

We stayed in La Lavanda for 8 days . The appartment was very clean and equipped with all we needed for our stay. It is very central located for visits in Siena, Florence, Vinci and San Gimignano as well as different wineyards We enjoyed the conversation with Linda and liked her advices. We appreciated that the appartment was cleaned once during our stay. We will come back. Doris and Klaus

Godenano di Mezzo ist ein sehr gepflegtes Anwesen mit viel Grün, Ingrid W. , Germany

Wir waren sehr froh, dass wir eine Terrasse direkt vor unserer Wohnung hatten mit weitem Blick in die Umgebung. Das war nicht direkt ersichtlich bei der Buchung. Linda war sehr freundlich und gab uns einige Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants etc. Schön war die Anwesenheit von Hund und Katze. Das gab dem Ganzen eine heitere Note.

This is in a beautiful location, looking over the Tuscan countryside, Kirtlington, Regno Unito

This is in a beautiful location, looking over the Tuscan countryside. It's very convenient to the town for amenities, but also for travelling to other locations in Tuscany. We visited San Gimignano and Monteriggione. We spent a couple of days at the villa, and enjoyed sitting by the pool and spending time in our apartment. The views are stunning, and Linda was a very friendly and helpful host.

Julia 12 June 2019 Kirtlington, Regno Unito

Linda’s place in Castellina in Chianti was such a wonderful find, Alison (Australia)

Linda’s place in Castellina in Chianti was such a wonderful find. The property is only a minute drive from town. We were in the Rosmarino apartment, which was spacious, well appointed and beautifully decorated. Bed was comfortable and so quiet at night. It was truely a classic Italian experience, with grapes, olives and a magnificent view. Linda was helpful and gave us some great suggestions for beautiful dinners. Easy to get to Siena and San Gim and also drive through other small towns. The pool was an amazing treat after a hot day out sightseeing. Highly recommended if you are after an Italian country stay. Thanks so much Linda!!

Séjour parfait, Patrick L., France

Séjour très agréable au milieu de la campagne Toscane La maison est grande et très bien équipée.

Tuscan treasure, Demetra B.

We had a lovely stay at Godenano di Mezzo in Castellina in Chianti. Beautiful views, convenient location, clean accommodations and Linda was very helpful in her local recommendations. Communication was great throughout booking process. The property is very close to town which has great restaurants and is a great starting point for several day trips including Siena and Florence. First trip to Tuscany but hopefully not the last!

Demetra B., USA 07 May 2019

Very Nice place!!, Anonymous

Linda and his familly were excellent hosts. They anticipated the bad weather to offer us a warmer home. We apprecited to stay 3 nights with our 2 years old child. The home nice and clean. The view was beautiful. It was raining all the time so we could not use the outside. From this location we could visit cities around like Siena and san gimignano and others. We will definitely be back if we visit the chianti another time. Thanks again Linda.

Entspannte Ostertage, Jens B., Germany

Meinem Sohn hätte vermutlich Otto der Hund und Brizee die Katze mit ein paar Besuchen der fussläufigen gelateria schon gereicht...., auch ohne diese "lästigen" Ausflüge ins Umland und sogar bis nach Rom. Fest steht, dass wir es nach diesen Ausflügen alle genossen haben nun wieder da zu sein, jeden zweiten Tag einfach dort zu bleiben mit viel Platz für Gymnastik, Turnen und Spielen auf der Wiese und vor allem Lesen, draussen oder in dem sehr geschmackvoll eingerichteten Appartement Lavanda. Freuen uns auf das nachste Mal, auch auf die morgendliche Stunde auf der Mauer mit Kaffee und Ausblick uber die Toscana, der vom Pool sogar bis zu den Türmen von San Gimiignano reicht. Jens aus Köln

Замечательное место, Ekaterina, Russia

Замечательное место, стильное, уютное, со своей атмосферой, в окружении прекрасных тосканских пейзажей. Линда очень гостеприимна и делает все для того, чтобы гости чувствовали себя комфортно. Она всегла подскажет, куда лучше сходить, что посмотреть и где продается самое вкусное мороженое:) С удовольствием вернусь туда еще раз, если будет такая возможность.

Best place to stay at Tuscany!!!, Carolina Gaza, Mexico

Me and my husband just fell in love with this place!! It’s super clean, lovely decorated, the house and gardens are beautiful!! But the best of all is Linda and Gilberto, the hosts, they are the nicest people you’ll ever meet!! They gave us tips on where to go and what to do, and Linda shared us some fresh tomatoes, basil, rosemary and olive oil from her garden. It truly was an amazing experience, I left my heart there. Also, the property is very close to the lovely town of Castellina in Chianti, and also we were able to drive to some other medieval and beautiful towns as Siena, San Giminiano, Montepulciano, Montalcino, among others. (You will need a car to do this) the roads to all these towns are AMAZING!! You’ll get some of the best Tuscan views. We definitely will be back to this place!!!

Apartment with a view, Danielle MacGowen, USA

My husband and I enjoyed three relaxing nights in this apartment on our drive through Tuscany. The Rosmarino room was spacious and comfortable with a great patio overlooking the valley below. Linda was kind enough to share some lovely produce from their garden and made sure we had everything we needed. Afternoons at the pool felt very refreshing after mornings sightseeing. We also enjoyed some lovely meals in Castellina in Chianti and an excellent gelateria down the street.

Danielle Mac Gowen, USA 09 September 2018

A second slice of Tuscan heaven

After our first visit to Godenano di Mezzo in Easter last year, we promised ourselves we would return one day. And our second stay, earlier this month, has cemented our initial view that it is quite simply perfection! From the beauty of the landscape and farmhouse to the warmth of the welcome from Linda, this is Tuscany at its best. The location is perfect for day trips to Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano and Florence. The charming town of Castellina in Chianti is in walking distance from the farmhouse and has a number of excellent restaurants, cafes and shops. This trip, however, we found ourselves reluctant to leave the peace and tranquility of Godenano di Mezzo and wiled away the days by the swimming pool and in the grounds. Everything is maintained to an extraordinarily high standard. In the Rosmarino Apartmento there is nothing that Linda has not thought to provide...it is a wonderfully comfortable, spacious, practical and charming accommodation and the patio outside, where we sat each night and watched the sun set, is sublime. We have promised ourselves that we will be returning for a third slice of Tuscan heaven! Thank you Linda and Gilberto for a truly wonderful holiday.
Alison MacDonald 31 August 2018 London, England

Perfect spring break

My husband and I stayed in the Rosemarino apartment for 4 nights in April 2018. It was our first visit to Tuscany and certainly won't be our last! Godenano Di Mezzo was the perfect base for exploring the jewels of Tuscany – we loved Siena and San Gimignano, which are both an easy drive away. A day of sightseeing followed by a few hours on Rosemarino’s lovely terrace (the views are exquisite) and then a pleasant walk into Castellina in Chianti to sample another lovely restaurant for dinner – perfect relaxation! The apartment was very comfortable and also well equipped for cooking, but we were so relaxed that we only managed that on one night of our stay! Linda was an excellent host and gave us lots of advice on local activities, and on Florence, which was our next stop on our week in Tuscany. We will be back!
Bernie Donohoe 12 August 2018 England

Très belle résidence, Alexandre L., France

Nous avons passé un très beau séjour. Nous avons été très bien accueilli. La location était bien équipé et très propre, de même que la piscine. C'est bien situé, Catellina in Chianti est un beau village agréable avec toutes les commodités.

Alexandre Losfeld, France 12 August 2018

Love Tuscany

This was our first trip to Italy and it couldn’t have started in a better place than Godenano di Mezzo. The views, fresh air, nice/ helpful proprietor (Linda), and centrality of location were wonderful. We stayed at the Falco apartment, it was spacious, clean, well equipped with great views. Linda arranged a driver to pick us up at the Santa Maria Novella train station in Florence. The driver, Mossimo, was a very nice, reliable and personable driver that we ended up hiring him for our various excursion. The nearest town Castellina is a wonderful 10 min walk and has all you need for a comfortable stay. We walked there every day as we ate dinner there and treated ourselves to Gelato afterwards. The smell of the flowering trees at night permeates the air and fire flies add a whimsical touch to your late evening walk. We felt renewed and energized as we were enjoying the beauty of Tuscany in this little gem called Godenano di Mezzo. Thank you Linda for giving us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of your property. We hope to return soon
Bernadette Schroller 30 June 2018 USA

Dr

Wonderful place, lovely hosts! We had a great holiday staying in the Rosmarino apartment, which is a very comfy and well-appointed accommodation with terrific views over the Chianti countryside. Castellina in Chianti is a delight and it’s very easy to get to so many other lovely towns (Sienna, Florence, Volterra etc.) that there’s always something fun to do. Or you can just relax by the pool. Thanks, we’ll be back soon!

Best part of our Italy trip!, Luann J., USA

Linda was a great hostess. She made us feel right at home. The apartment had tons of charm but still had all the creature comforts. The garden on the property was beautiful as well as the views. The location is great & was perfect for our home base as we explored Tuscany. Linda arranged a wine tasting tour for us that was spectacular!

My Response

We enjoy having guests to stay and to have the opportunity to give them a guide to this beautiful area and to experience Tuscan hospitality. There is much to do and see and our location is such that we are central to the main cultural towns and cities within the hour. Wine tastings, cooking courses and more can easily be arranged for guests.
Luann J., USA 20 June 2018 USA

Great place , Kris, USA

We were in the lavender room. It was very clean and well maintained. When we arrived however it was unseasonably cold and we were looking forward to having a fire in the fireplace.  The patio faces east so there was sun in the Morning and shade in the afternoon. The British woman who owns the property was very nice. 

Kris, USA 25 May 2018

Urlaub in traumhafte Lage.

Wir haben im Juni 2017 anlässlich der WBHC WorldBowHunterChampionship eine wunderschöne Woche in Lindas Rosemary Appartment verbracht. Das alte Haus und die dazugehörigen Appartments sind sehr aufwendig und liebevoll restauriert. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, etwa 1Km ausserhalb der Ortschaft Castellina, inmitten von Weinbergen und Olivernbäumen. Der Ausblick vom neu erbauten Pool über die Toskana ist einfach traumhaft und lässt einen den Alltag vergessen. Wir haben uns hier sehr Wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder !!! Vielen Dank an Linda und ihre Familie für den tollen Urlaub im Herzen der Toskana.

A beautiful hiding place in the heart of Tuscany

We spent 4 days in the Lavanda apartment and it was just perfect! The place is beautifully located for sightseeing, just short drives away from Siena, San Gimignano and many other pearls, including Castellina in Chianti itself. The swimming pool offers a great view over the surrounding countryside, often swept by a very pleasant breeze. The apartment itself is cozy and well-thought in every single detail, a truly welcoming home away from home - with great hosts and good olive oil on top! Not to be missed!!

A slice of Tuscan heaven

On the recommendation of close friends who had stayed at Godenano Di Mezzo, we booked the Rosmarino apartment for four nights over Easter this year. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable holidays we have had. Godenano is your quintessential Chianti destination, a beautifully restored traditional farmhouse overlooking olive groves and vineyards and glorious countryside. The apartment was everything we could wish it to be...spacious, supremely comfortable, equipped with everything necessary to be self sufficient and with a wonderful ambience that Linda and Gilberto have created throughout the entire property. Situated a ten minute walk from the picturesque village of Castellina in Chianti we were spoiled with choice for excellent local restaurants and cafes which Linda had recommended. Godenano Di Mezzo is located within easy driving distance of Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena and Florence and the scenery is simply glorious. We enjoyed nothing more after a day's exploring than to return to our Rosmarino apartment and sit outside on the patio soaking up the tranquility and beauty of our surroundings. Linda and Gilberto have created a slice of Tuscan heaven at Godenano Di Mezzo and we will definitely be returning for seconds!

Bewertung Aufenthalt bei Linda

Seit mehr als 20 Jahren Urlaub in der Toscana. Zum ersten mal bei Linda! Eine Traumwoche in wunderschöner Anlage erlebt. Linda, die perfekte und äusserst diskrete Gastgeberin, grosszügig mit Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten für ihre Gäste. Die Wohnung Rosmarino war sehr gepflegt, ebenso das Inventar und alle Geräte. Der grosse Garten mit dem fantastischen Pool liess keine Wünsche offen. Wir waren sehr glücklich dort zu sein und haben uns wunderbar erholt. Danke für alles.
Markus & Susanna 16 July 2017 Brunegg Schweiz

Mr

This was our first time to use an Agriturismo, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience at Godenanodimezzo. The property was excellent and our room was clean, well furnished and had a nice kitchen where we prepared several meals, one using fresh veggies from our host's garden and some homemade pesto that she provided for us. The view from our patio was beautiful and typical of Tuscany with vineyards, olive groves and forests all in view. It was close to Castellina in Chianti (very walkable). We enjoyed going for a run thru the vineyards. Our host was very accommodating, providing guidance for the Chianti region, and made transportation reservations for us for an evening winery tour. We highly recommend this property, and plan to stay there again on our next trip to the region.

PERFECT Place to Fill Your Senses and Explore Tuscany, Kurt Steffen USA

From the first email with Linda, and throughout the entire stay at beautiful Godenano di Mezzo, our expectations were exceeded. The blend of professionalism and warmth that Linda exhibits makes an amazing place to stay even better. Two of us stayed in the Lavanda suite, which was absolutely perfect. From the spectacular view and sunsets, to the beautiful gardens, orchards, sweet Otto, Leone, the falcons... my senses were filled the entire time. The nearby small town of Castellina is perfectly charming and filled with just enough good restaurants and stores that, although you'll want to explore all of Tuscany from this ideal location, you wouldn't need to leave the area if you didn't want to. This is a life enriching experience that I relive everytime I taste the delicious olive oil produced from the property. Thank you for everything!

What a wonderful place! myself and my mom we stay in the Falcon apartment and we just felt like home. Very typical, beautiful and comfy. Exactly what I was dreaming for a place to stay in Tuscany.

Absolutely Lovely!, Karen Elliott, Canada

We stayed in the beautiful Rosmarino apartment for 5 nights in April/17. We loved it! The atmosphere is amazing, the views the character of the apartment I can't even describe how beautiful it is! 
Linda has impeccable taste, she shares this in every aspect of the apartment. We felt spoiled! Perfectly pressed linens, comfortable bed, high end dishes and kitchen supplies, wonderful lavender soap the list goes on and on! We felt we were being treated the way Linda would have wanted to be treated in a rental apartment! 
Linda gave us fruit and her awesome olive oil/garlic. (We bought her oil to bring home) yum!! She also had great advise about restaurants and places to visit! Linda's a wonderful hostess! We felt so welcomed! 
Castellina in Chianti is a beautiful village! We loved it and felt very at home there! Great restaurants, shopping, sightseeing! It really has it all without the crowds! We met so many wonderful shop owners!! 
All in all we highly recommend staying here as its more than we expected!! 
Thank you so much Linda, you're a wonderful person!?

Lavender Cottage, Godenano di Mezzo, Mary Brumo, USA

My friend and I stayed in the Lavender Cottage, third week in October. We loved the apartment and the grounds! Our terrace was covered with a trellis of the most delicious grapes. We had total privacy and a lovely view of a 12th century farm complex down the road. The farm house at Godenano di Mezzo is also 12th century. I slept on the sofa bed in the living room, which was very comfortable. The photos on the Agriturismo site are accurate. Our host, Linda, was quite helpful, getting us settled and giving us good advice on where to eat in Castellina. My only (slight) disappointment was that I thought it would be an easy 10 minute walk across fields to the town of Castellina--it was more like a 10 minute drive. I would recommend Godenano di Mezzo to friends as a comfortable and lovely place to stay near Castellina.

honeymoon deam come true… spectacular, serene, sublime

The absolute highlight of our honeymoon in Italy was our five day stay at Godenano Di Mezzo. It was our Tuscany dream come true! We stayed in the beautiful “Lavanda” apartment which felt like staying at a cottage home all our own. Everything was not only immaculate, but also beautifully designed with artisan details and the finest touches. We loved our private grapevine-covered outdoor patio, a gorgeous and relaxing extension to our place. The views of the Tuscan countryside from our patio and from inside the apartment were amazing, as they are from all around the property. The feeling at Godenano Di Mezzo is of total serenity. It is so peaceful and quiet, it’s hard to believe that there’s a town only 5 minutes away. So it’s the best of both worlds! And what a wonderful town Castellina in Chanti is. So beautiful, with its historic structures, great restaurants and markets, and lovely people. It is a pleasure to stroll through and all around Castellina. We loved going to the markets and cooking at “home” as well as eating in town. Linda recommended the best places to dine in town, in addition to taking the time to share with us her favorite places in the surrounding Tuscany areas. She was such a wonderful host, we connected right away. She gifted us vegetables from their garden and some of their farm’s very own olive oil - which is amazing! We fell in love with Leon,e their cat, who gave us the sweetest kitty love therapy during our stay. And also Otto, their big loving dog that has an even bigger heart! We have already recommended Godenano Di Mezzo to several friends and family and can’t wait to plan our return! For us, any visit back to Italy means a visit back to Tuscany which will mean a fortunate and grateful stay at Godenano Di Mezzo.
Cecilia Ward 28 September 2016 USA

What a wonderful place!

There's no way to find words that even remotely describe the wonderful stay we had at Godenano Di Mezzo, so I'll ask Mr. Shakespeare for a little assistance: "Oh what fools these mortals be…", if they fail to visit Linda (what a host!) and her family. The tomatoes, the figs, the view, the pool… taste for yourself, see for yourself and have a great time – you will, don't worry. Last but not least, worth a very special mention: Otto (I believe) and Leoni, your real hosts. They will tail wag and purr you into a state of relaxation you've rarely experienced before. No Spa in the world could do that for you!

Honeymoon in Falco

We just returned home from the honeymoon of a lifetime in Italy, 7 days of which were spent in the "Falco" apartment which was heaven on Earth. Linda was so wonderful and greeted us as if we were already friends. The apartment was so cool with it's authentic feel and wonderful views. It was a great place to come back and relax after walking through Siena and San Gimignano. The private entrance was nice and it had everything we needed for the week. Castellina in Chianti was a lovely town that we ate dinner in each night - all the restaurants were amazing! Using Godenano as a starting out point, Linda gave us some great tips on traveling in the countryside as well as places to visit. My husband made friends with Otto and Leone quickly and we miss them as well as Linda already! We will definitely come back to explore the areas we missed on our first trip. Thank you Linda and family for you amazing hospitality and your beautiful piece of paradise!

We spent one week in the Apartment "Rosmarino" and it was paradise, Brigit Ramler, Austria

We spent one week in the Apartment "Rosmarino" and it was paradise. We immediately felt like home. Linda the host is a very kind and courteous person, she gave us tomatoes and figs from her garden as a gift and always suggested nice places to visit. 
I already miss the cat "Leone", who spent all the mornings and evenings with me on the lovely terrace. :-) 
The Apartment itself is very cosy and clean, the garden and the pool are wonderful - and the view is just amazing. 
Castellina with its many nice shops and restaurants is just a short walk away. 
We really hope to come back one day - thank you Linda for a week in paradise, we enjoyed it very much and already miss your place (and "Leone")! :-)

Ein toller Urlaub in einem tollen Quartier, Claudia Atemeier, Germany

Wir haben uns in dieser gemütlichen Wohnung sofort wohl gefühlt und sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit empfangen worden. Linda ist eine herzliche Frau mit guten Tipps und Vorschlägen, aber nicht aufdringlich dabei. Im Garten durften wir uns bedienen, es gab leckere Tomaten, Feigen, Weintrauben und grandiose Pfirsiche. Der Ort ist beschaulich und gemütlich, fußläufig gut zu erreichen und die Eisdiele auf halber Strecke ist auch top. Wir haben wechselweise die Landschaft und umliegenden Städte (Siena, Florenz, San Gimigiano, Volterra ... erkundet und am schönen Pool relaxt. Einen Tag waren wir auch an der Küste in der Nähe von Follonica. Es sind eigentlich keine Wünsche offen geblieben, ein ideales Quartier zur Erkundung der Toskana!

It was just wonderful, Ingrid Kail, Austria

Accommodation: We stayed in the apartment Rosmarino, which was great and I'm very sure, the other two apartments are as perfectly equipped and cleaned up as ours. We didn't miss a single thing. 
Setting: wonderful view over the hills, totally relaxing and quiet atmosphere, big swimming pool, great hosts, great dog ;o) 
Surroundings: Castellina is a lovely and relaxing village. From Godenano you can get almost everywhere in central Tuscany within 30-60 min by car (we did day trips to Florence, Sienna, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Volterra, San Gimignano,.... very easy to get there) 
Many thanks to Linda and her family, who where never tired of answering our questions, giving great advises, telling us "Italian kitchen secrets" an further more. 
We want to come back for sure.

Fantastic place to relax, H.J. van Rij, Netherland

for the 2nd time we have had a wonderful relaxing holiday in the apartment Rosemarino. 
We have enjoyed the hospitality of Linda, the view, the nature and the cosy town of Castellina in Chianti. It provides ample opportunities for hiking, cycling or Tuscan towns to visit including San Gimignano and Siena. Highly recommended and we will be back! 

Thank you Linda for the pleasant company during the walk.

A WONDERFUL AND MEMORABLE WEEK, Joyce Lindsay, Canada

We are a couple in our 70's who found the apartment Rosemarino as lovely and comfortable as represented in the photos. All reservation and payment requirements were completed professionally and in a timely manner. The mattress and pillows were so welcoming after a hot day of touring in the area. Linda is nothing short of amazing! She is the perfect hostess, anticipating our every need, sharing her time and knowledge of the area at any opportune moment while respecting our privacy and personal space. She offered suggestions, directions and honest opinions of the tourist attractions available. She even shared with us, her attempts to save the lives of 4 newly born hedgehogs found abandoned in her driveway. The pool/spa area is well maintained and available from morning to late evening. The only suggestion I might make is that plastic glasses be provided so guests can enjoy a glass of wine while reading poolside.

A beautiful stone farmhouse became our perfect home for almost a week, Alison Malkin, USA

My husband, our 16 year old son, and I spent 6 nights in the Falco (Falcon) apartment in July. It's on the first floor, which in the US means the second floor. It's a spacious, sparkling clean 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom (1 ensuite), kitchen, and living room. There is also a lovely outside area with a picnic table just for those in the Falco apt. and a gas grill that looks brand new. 

Opening the windows allows in the magnificent views of the Chianti region: olive trees, vineyards, and the endless hills. With the open windows one also fully comprehends the width of the ancient stone farmhouse walls. This farmhouse is a treasure and a working farm, so it is a joy to use (and take home) their very own olive oil.

The apartment was filled with anything one would need in the kitchen: utensils, plates, bowls, wine glasses, dishwasher, drying towels, utensils for the grill. We enjoyed making bruschetta every morning and one night my husband made a tasty dinner from items in the town, which we happily ate outside in our little piece of the Tuscan countryside. 

The pool is absolutely incredible: so clean and positioned so the Tuscan landscape surrounds one and one can happily gaze about either while swimming or sitting in the comfortable lounge chairs. The thick bath and pool towels are also a nice touch.

We appreciated the location, between Siena and Florence, and had lovely times exploring both cities and the surrounding hill towns and restaurants. The town of Castellina in Chianti itself is a gem: delicious restaurants specializing in local fare, produce markets, cheese shops, wineries, butchers, and little cafes perfect for a morning cappuccino. 

We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning.

We had a wonderful stay, Carly Hobday, Australia

"We had a wonderful stay at Linda's Lavander apartment in Castellina in Chianti. Linda was very helpful with directions to the property and responsive to any questions we had. Linda was also extremely welcoming and made us feel at home. The apartment itself was just like the pictures and had a beautiful outlook over the Tuscan countryside. The pool was amazing, we used it almost every day in the 30+ degree heat! The location was also fantastic. You will need a car but its easy to get to anywhere in the Chianti region and also Siena and Florence. "

Dream Holiday, Ulrike and David , Austria

My boyfriend and I were on vacation in the Toscana and stayed at this wonderful place "Godenano di Mezzo" for five days in June with Linda and her husband. We stayed at the Falco Apartment. The place is wonderful and provides everything you need on a holiday. It is only 5 minutes walk from the beautiful little village Catellina in Chianti where we had dinner two times and only 25 minutes from Siena and 45 minutes from Florence, where we travelled to by car and Linda gave us good advice where to park with the car and where to go there. Moreover, she also always told us when there were festivities in the surrounding villages or fireworks we could have a look at from the pool for instance. This was very helpful and nice from her. The apartment itself was very clean and nicely established with a lot of love as it seemed, thus, we really enjoyed the time there. Firstly we were wondering, how warm it will be within the house as we read that there is no air-condition - the house, however, is so perfectly planned that you do not even need it as the rooms are oriented so good and as the house is of stone and so the warm air does not have so much influence on the inside climate - so no worry about that :) 
We would like to come back once to this wonderful place and wish Linda and her family (together with Oscar and Lioni) all the best. Yours, Ulrike & David

Absolutely Perfect Historic Property with All Amenities, Fabulous Views!, Mary Belden, USA

We stayed in the Falco apartment for a week in May. The property was absolutely immaculate, and very thoughtfully supplied with everything we needed. Linda's gardens were spectacular with beautiful flowers and vegetables in profusion. The weather was cool, so we didn't get to use the pool, but it, too, was perfectly kept. Our bed was very comfortable, and the views from our windows over the olive trees and across the valley were something we'll always remember! In short, a beautiful place with a gracious hostess, with easy access to Sienna, Florence, and many historic hill towns. The village of Castellina in Chianti is a steep walk up the hill, and well worth the effort- we had two delicious meals in town, and the local gelato spot is a stand-out! We would definitely love to return!

Outstanding experience, Shauna and Timothy, Canada

My husband and I stayed in the Lavanda apartment for 6 nights at the end of April/beginning of May. We had such a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful with the kind of views of Tuscany that you see on postcards. The online photos really don't do it justice. The apartment itself was very spacious and well kept. It had all the amenities we required for a comfortable stay. The town of Castellina is a short walk away with a good selection of lovely shops and restaurants. We found the farmhouse to be an excellent location from which to explore the region. Linda was an incredibly gracious host who's recommendations for activities and places to eat never steered us wrong! We also made two four-legged friends, Otto and Leone. We would definitely recommend this farm house to family and friends and are eager to return ourselves! Thank you Linda for sharing your bit of Italy with us!

Lovely Property, Great Location, Beautifully restored, Bill Lindsey, USA

Views out the main window are pastoral, looking over the Tuscan hills. Outside there's a nice arbor covered private sitting area, with the same beautiful views. You are surrounded by the natural beauty of Chianti, grape vines, rolling hills and olive trees. The property has a very nice pool and pool area but it had just closed due to the season(October 11). Linda Gelli had some wonderful ideas on places to eat in the area and surrounding cities. Town is a 12 minute walk, or a 3-4 minute drive. 
This is a great place to use as your home base as you explore nearby Tuscan town on day trips! Wifi worked great! Excellent value!

Our first Italian Farmhouse experience…, D. Butler, Canada

My son and I spent a week in the Falco apartment. Prior to our trip our emails/questions were always quickly answered. When we arrived at the farmhouse, it was even better than in the pictures. Parking was easy. Our apartment was on the top floor with two big windows overlooking the country side. The apartment was clean and it was fully equipped with dishwasher. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked very well. Linda was definitely available throughout our stay. She gave us fruit/vegetables from the garden and some of their own olive oil. She was very attentive to our needs and recommended a number of day trips. We spent most of our time at the farmhouse and walked twice a day to the town centre. The walk to the town centre was about 15 minutes. The hill provides some cardio. We were able to pick figs from the trees and swim in the pool with an unbeatable view. The German Shepherd was a bit intimidating but Linda kept a close eye on him. We enjoyed our trip very much and will definitely recommend this farmhouse to anyone visiting the area.

Wonderful, Robyn and Thirza, Australia

We selected Godenano Di Mezzo based on the excellent reviews, and our stay did not disappoint, infact exceeded our expectations, it really is better than the website. We stayed in the Lavander apartment which was perfect, the renovations are beautifully done, with care and detail. Nice and private, the pool area is sensational, and the location in Castellina is ideal a great town, good restaurants, shopping, a supermarket and on Saturdays they have a local market which is fun. Easy access to all the highlights of Chianti and Tuscany, San Gimingiano, Volterra, Cortona etc. But the most important thing about any holiday is the people you meet, Linda and family where so lovely, made our stay even more special, delicious produce from the garden and chats, we thank you for a memorable time in Chianti, we hope to return some day. And a special mention to sweet Otto.

"What a place! Simen, Norway

"What a place! We stayed in the Rosmarino apartment, which is one of the smaller ones and the one that has a patio towards the setting sun. The facilities are modern and it is evident that Linda & co have a good eye for details. The apartment: The apartment itself has a genuinely rustique decor with dark wooden details, terracotta flooring and a very homely feel about it. It is a very comfortable place to stay. The bathroom feels brand new and the utilities are of very high quality with a comfortable toilet, a bidet and a shower with proper water output. The towels are thick and of the best quality. Everything is very clean. The outdoor areas: Just wow. The Rosmarino apartment has a private patio with a table and a couple chairs. There is a spectacular view of the rolling hills of Chianti from the patio and we spent every night there sipping Chianti Classico while admiring the sunset. The patio connects directly to the main house's very well kept and large garden with its perfect lawn. The pool: The pool and area around it feels - and is - very luxurious. The pool, sunbeds and pool furniture are of the highest quality and you can tell the tile layers knew what they were doing. Everything is just perfectly built, kept and maintained. The pool has two types of powered water massage and its size is big enough that you can go for a swimming workout. The pool is elevated somewhat from the rest of the property and gives even better views of the Chianti landscape. We missed out on a few planned excursions because we would rather stay by the pool. The hostess: Linda is a very kind and helpful person. She freely offered local wine tips and suggested places to go. We also got a nice tour of the most interesting areas of the main house since we expressed interest in old Chianti farmhouses and their architecture. She even kindly gave us fresh produce from their gardens. Very delicious! The negatives: I have to somewhat force these negatives out to make the review as helpful as I can, because in my view they did not subtract from the excellent experience at all. I am still giving this five stars. But here goes: - You live very close to Linda and her family. The patio in the Rosmarino apartment is only separated from their patio by some dense plants. (It still felt very quiet and we were not bothered by their presence at all. Quite the opposite) - The approach by car is a very steep gravel road with some fairly deep trenches carved by rain water. It is fine with a normal car if you drive carefully, but if you have a Ferrari or an uncommonly strict rental car contract, I would not drive all the way down. - Pool closes at 20.00. (Understandable, but we loved it so much there) Rating: 5/5"

A fantastic week in Tuscany

It was our fourth stay in Castellina but this place was by far the best untill now. A nice appartment (spacious and very clean) with our own corner ouside to have our breakfast or lunch. A large swimming pool with an amazing view -also very clean and well equiped. The house is also situated very near to the centre of Castellina. In the evening you can make a nice walk to the town. Linda is the perfect guest-women and of course Otto -the German shepperd-made it a wonderfull week. We will certainly come back. Greta and Rohnny.

We enjoyed a simply perfect stay at Linda's. The apartment is everything you could expect and more - it is spotless, spacious and equipped with everything you could ask for. The location is quiet yet very central if you want to visit different places in Tuscany. We were happy to come back to this little oasis of quiet and luxury after a busy day of sightseeing. The garden area (every appartment has its own) is fully furnished, there is a barbecue all guests can use and of course, there is the pool. What more could anyone be looking for?

Thank you Linda for a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect along with waking up each morning to beautiful views across the countryside! The apartment was great with everything we needed including a pretty courtyard to eat our own Tuscan style cooking! The local town of Castellina is just up the road and we were easily able to catch a bus to towns such Siena and explore the area. We would recommend Godenano Di Mezzo to anyone wanting a beautiful authentic Tuscan stay. Thank you again Linda for ALL your help with getting around to explore the local towns and for making our stay such a wonderful experience!

Field Marshall, Why not?

we were very lucky to spend a week at this beautiful ancient farm house. Our host, Linda is a lovely and engaging lady full of information and tips on what to see and do. We chose the Rosmarino apartment and fell in love with it and the fantastic Tuscan landscape and sunsets just outside our front door. Castellina is a great central location for visiting all the splendour of Chianti and we drove to many wonderful old towns and forts. It's also very close to and easy to get buses to Siena and Florence. Best of all was coming home to Godenano Di Mezzo after a big day out to relax with a chianti and decide whether to home cook or try a local ristorante recommended by Linda. Everything about the accommodation and Linda' friendly help was top class and we were sorry to leave. Do yourself a favour and try it next time you want a special vacation.

“Absolute Perfection”, The La Vecchias, USA

My wife and I had been through Castellina in Chianti in 2002, and promised ourselves if we returned to Italy, we would make this beautiful town the home base for our vacation. All the reviews looked good for Godenano Di Mezzo, and our stay there far exceeded any expectations we may have had. We stayed in the Lavenda Suite, and it was absolute perfection. All the upgrades done by the Gelli family were done with care and patience, and you can tell they love this place as much as you will love staying here. All the rooms were immaculate, the beds was perfect and even the mattress in the pull-out sofa was extraordinary (as our 10-year-old son will attest). All the amenities you want are top notch, from linens to pillows to water pressure. It's perfectly private and quiet, and you genuinely feel like could just stay here all day to enjoy the views and surroundings. We were also very easily able to make easy day-trips to Sienna, San Gimignano, Florence, Monteroggini and even to Pisa, only to return home tired, but easily relaxed in our surroundings. Linda was wonderful, helping us find our way, recommending restaurants, bringing us fresh vegetables from her garden, and even getting our son to join her feeding her dog Otto or tending to her garden. And of course her cat Leone would sit outside our villa to greet us each day. She has other villas of larger size, and we simply cannot urge you enough to ensure this is where you stay when you come to Italy. You will have access to all the beauty that Italy provides, with all the nesting warmth you want in your very own home. We will be back, Linda. Sooner than perhaps we all thought.

Che Bello! (How Beautiful!) Hazel, Australia

What a fabulous place! Located in the heart of Tuscany (including Sienna, San Gimignano and Firenze), Godenano di mezzo is a perfect base for exploring the regions delights. We were constantly tempted to ignore all of this however, as the property is so beautiful, clean and spacious, and the proprietors are so warm, welcoming and helpful. You could easily spend your whole Tuscan time in and around Castellina in Chianti, but if you did, you would have to return again to see everything else. I think we will be doing just that!

Beautiful place - we'll be back

My wife and I spent a wonderful 5 days in Tuscany, staying in the Rosmarino apartment this fall. The accommodations are perfect and the location is almost perfect for reaching other locations. From our central base here, we reached Pisa, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, and several wineries. Nearby Castellina in Chianti is a beautiful, small town with everyone one might need (and I bought the best salami I have ever had in a small market there). The best past is that from the moment we arrived, we felt more like we were spending a few days at a friend’s house rather than the feeling one gets in a hotel somewhere. Linda was a wonderful host and checked in on us from time to time to make sure we were getting around OK, enjoying our trip, and to see if we needed anything. She made great recommendations of things to see and do and also places to eat (and made us reservations as well). We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will definitely be back!

Elise and I had a fabulous few days in the apartment. Not often are such apartments as they are advertised. This venue is just as it's listed, fantastic. This apartment in recently decorated, clean and perfect for the venue. I've no doubt other appartments claim many such attributes, this delivers. Linda was a perfect host providing us with excellent local recommendations along with her own produce. I would not hesitate to recommend the flat. Enjoy

We spent 5 nights in the Falco apartment in mid September. This was the highlight of our two week stay in Italy. While the larger cities offered many historical sites that were incredible, staying here gave us a true feel for the culture and charm of Tuscan Italy. It was a perfect location for day trips to the surrounding towns. Coming home to this well-appointed lovely home was a welcome respite after a day of sight-seeing. Gilberto and Linda were gracious hosts and made us feel very welcome in their beautiful home. We would highly recommend this location to anyone and would definitely return should we find ourselves in this area in the future.

Can I just say…Heaven, Gary Glover, USA

My wife and I spent three nights at Godenano di mezzo and 5 stars are just not enough. This is a beautifully restored farmhouse from the 1200's and it is just an incredible location. It was like hanging out in a movie set or a storybook. The property is in the midst of olive trees and vineyards, with wonderfully maintained grounds. We stayed in the rosemary apartment and it did not disappoint, it was very clean, well maintained and very comfortable. The small town nearby (Castillina) was just a perfect Tuscan hill village. Wonderful streets, nice restaurants, and not very crowded....perfect. We came here after Rome and it was like slipping into a warm hot tub after a hard day. I wish we had more time to spend there. It was close to Siena and other more tourist hill towns so they are easy to see during the day but really this place is THE Tuscan experience... you don't have to go anywhere else, the other cities we saw were just "extra's". The pool was wonderful (even though it was a bit chilly because of the late season) with a great valley view and super clean (I don't believe there was one thing out of place on this whole property in or out, it was immaculately kept). Our hosts were extremely nice and very helpful about the local area. I just cant say enough how perfect this place is, so I am sure you can tell I would recommend it to anyone for a stay there...just make it a long one, you will never regret it. :)

Best stop on our trip, Jim and Kathleen Cardon, USA

I cannot say enough about our stay in this wonderful home. It has everything you need, including the owners, to make for a memorable vacation. Linda was so helpful with her suggestions for sights to see and restaurants for delicious meals. We stayed in the Rosemary apartment which was very spacious, comfortable, and a patio to enjoy the sunsets while sipping some fine wine. The grounds are manicured and perfect for a short stroll to observe the different fruits and vegetables that they grow. I would say that if you are visiting the area this is a must stay.

We loved staying at this beautiful apartment in the heart of Tuscany! Linda and her husband were very kind, helpful, and hospitable, suggesting wonderful restaurants (we went back twice!), and things to see and do. The apartment itself is very spacious, nicely decorated, and fully equipped. The bed was very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower fantastic! The gardens are just beautiful and although we didn't use the pool (the weather wasn't hot enough for us) the pool area is relaxing and very well-kept. There is plenty of parking and although there are three rental apartments on the property, you have complete privacy. We would absolutely stay here again!

A month later and we still refer to Linda's Villa as the benchmark others will be judged by. She is a very caring manager, who by the way speaks perfect English. She is a wealth of information for the local sights, stores, and restaurants. The farm/villa is in perfect condition.

Linda made us feel like family, taking the time to help us with places to see, never seemed to be in a hurry when visiting with us, advice on where to eat, directions to different places, etc. She also shared veggies from her garden! We stayed in the Rosemary room which had ample space, was tastefully decorated and very clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed! Lovely view out from our patio, which we enjoyed sitting and drinking in the views and sunsets! The area is beautiful and we truly wish we could have stayed longer. Was more beautiful than we ever dreamed and hope one day to return. We highy recommend staying at this villa.

We had a wonderful two-week holiday, Frank, Germany

We had a wonderful two-week holiday at Godenano di Mezzo and found everything even better than expected - and we did have high expectations based on the website, the photos and the pleasant and smooth communication with our hosts prior to our stay. The appartment "Falco" offers plenty of rooms and more than enough space, even for a family with three kids like ours. The appartment is very comfortable, well-equiped (everything working as expected, nothing broken) and has the Tuscany-typical flavour despite granting all the modern comfort we expected. What impressed us very much is with how much love for the details Linda and her husband prepared the appartment and the whole property. As far as we can tell, this is exceptional quality in the region. We enjoyed the great swimming pool which is large and modern and offers a great view of the valley. The farm house is located ca. 15 minutes walking distance from Castellina, i. e. no need to take the car for an evening walk into town - and climbing the hill up to Castellina can be regarded as a little workout after a lazy day at the pool ;-) 
In a nutshell, this is the place to be if you plan to visit Castellina or the region.

We will definitely come back again!

Amazing location, Martin Hattingh, South Africa

Martin Said,
My partner and I stayed in the Rosemary apartment at Godenano di Mezzo as part of a 2 week holiday in Italy. We could not have picked a better location, the farm is within close proximity to the quaint Castellina town centre (5min drive, or even walk if one is so inclined) and offers top quality accommodation. The Rosemary apartment is fully equipped with everything necessary for a self-catering stay and was presented perfectly clean and neat. The outside area and pool facilities are superb, with panoramic views stretching seemingly into infinity across the Tuscan countryside! The Gelli family were friendly and welcoming, and made our stay an absolute pleasure. Godenano di Mezzo is highly recommended if you're staying in Tuscany for a few days and want to experience the best the region has to offer.

Magical Tuscan experience, Jeffrey and Jodi, Canada

Jeffrey and Jodi said,

We loved everything about our stay at the Godenano Di Mezzo. Linda and Giancarlo were exceptionally warm, friendly and helpful. The farmhouse is very charming, beautifully renovated in it’s authentic style. Our upstairs apartment, the Falco, was very spacious, and everything in it was impeccably clean.The bathroom was updated, and the kitchen had ample space for cooking. The exterior spaces and gardens were beautifully maintained. Linda is a tremendous gardener, and besides her gorgeous flowers, there was a veggie garden tucked away somewhere from which she was always offering us lettuce, and one night gave me a huge bag of her delicious homegrown beans to try. Soon after we arrived we felt that this is certainly a place we’d like to return to often. As avid cyclists we loved the central location of Castellina in Chianti location. The only challenge for us was walking our bikes up the steep gravel drive from the farmhouse to the paved road.

We stayed in the large Falco Apartment and had a wonderful time there. The apartment is large, tidy and equiped whith everything we needed. From the living room we had a nice view over the landscape. From the apartment we walked ca. 20 minutes to the center of Castellina, where you can find nice restaurants and shops. Linda was very nice and helped us with a lot of tips and suggestions. Everything was very uncomplicated, what we liked. If you want to discover Chianti and Tuskany we can truly recommend Lindas apartment.

Beautiful Tuscan Paradise - Rustic and Modern! , Patel and Patrick, Chicago (USA)

Patel and Patrick said, 

My husband and I stayed in the Rosemary apartment for 4 nights during our honeymoon in Italy. Godenano Di Mezzo was everything we dreamed we would get out of our Tuscany experience. The apartment was impeccably clean and recently renovated with state of the art appliances while still maintaining the Tuscan rustic structure and beauty as well as the charm that seems to encompass all of Tuscany. This was by far our most spacious and comfortable stay through our travels - an impeccably clean and modern bathroom, large and comfortable bed, giant wardrobe, and a fully stocked kitchen. The shower had great water pressure and endless hot water. The internet works great both in the apartment and on the patio (if you want to watch the sunset). The Gelli family has clearly put a lot of love and care into their 6 years of restoration of this amazing home. The views are incredible, nothing but beauty every direction you look. Linda was a wonderful host - friendly and welcoming and full of information to help us plan our stay. She welcomed us with a bowl of fruit and a bottle of champagne and even brought by some fresh bread and their own olive oil made right on the grounds. The town of Castellina is easily a 15 minute walk just up the drive and full of restaurants, enotecas, and shops. We spent one day just hanging out in Castellina (and doing laundry at the convenient lavenderia) and did easy day trips the other days to Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena, and San Gimignano. The house is very centrally located, and the hill towns as well as Florence are all easily reachable. I can not recommend this villa enough for a perfect Tuscan vacation. Thank you, Linda, for all of your hospitality!

We recently returned from a wonderful month long visit in Italy and were very fortunate to have spent 2 weeks at Geodenano Di Mezzo in The Rosemary Apartment. The Rosemary has everything one needs and is clean, neat and comfortable The outside patio is very private and faces west with afternoon and evening sun and some lovely sunsets We ate most of our meals there. The village of Castellina in Chianti is minutes away, providing everything needed...from an efficient Laundromat to all the food and wine you can consume! From our "home" we were able to make dat trips to Florence, San Gimignano, Poggisbonsi,Orbetello on the coast, Pisa, Assisi, Cortona and Siena. Try the Saturday Markets in Castellina and Greve in Chianti and be sure to try the restaurant The Tre Porte. And don't forget to use the refreshing pool if weather permits! Linda and Gilberto were friendly hosts who provided us with their own Olive Oil, Tomatoes, Figs and we could pick grapes from the roof of our patio! WE were very reluctant to leave!

Our favorite Tuscany get away yet!

My husband and I stayed in the Falcon apartment for 5 nights in September and we couldn’t have loved it more. The Gelli family is just wonderful and their farm house is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet/relaxing Tuscan vacation. It’s even more beautiful than what you see in the pictures. The apartment we had was just amazing and so comfortable for the two of us. It even came with wi-fi for the times we did want connect back to the “real world”. Linda was so sweet to make sure we had everything we needed and even brought us some of the olive oil they make and fresh tomatoes from the garden. We look forward to going back to Tuscany again and likely will be coming back here. :)

We stayed 7 nights in Lavender apartment in May 2013 and we loved every minute of our stay. The apartment is perfectly equipped in anything you may want - from crisp-fresh linens on a comfy bed, to Italian coffee cafatera in the kitchen. The terrace, surrounded by lovely flowers and herbs of Linda's garden was where we had most of our meals. We were admiring the famous Tuscany hills of vine and listening to the birds in the valley... The hosts are just the perfect people to meet and they make the stay so smooth and interesting, advising on nearby places to visit, so you do not feel lost. Linda was even kind enough to schedule an appointment at a Beauty Salon for me, recommending a nice place in Siena. We highly recommend this beautiful villa for a relaxing, unforgettable stay. Almost 6 months have passed since our stay in Godenano di Mezzo and we are still impressed and we miss everything about it.

My husband and I spent 5 days at this farmhouse, which was accurately described on the website. The apartment we were in was very clean and well-maintained. We were supplied with everything we needed, including olive oil and tomatoes upon our arrival - what a treat! The surrounding grounds and the pool are quite nice, showing an obvious amount of work on the property. We took two daytrips to San Gimignano and Florence...both easily accessible from the farmhouse.

We spend very relaxing six days at the Godenano Di Mezzo, in its comfortable Lavender apartment. Every morning, we had breakfast on the beautiful terrace in front of our apartment with an open view on the Chianti shire. By car (public transportation would be difficult) we went to wonderful, nearby places such as Siena or San Gimignano. At night, we did Italian cooking. The kitchen is well equipped with a gas stove and a dish washer – but no oven, so no parmigiana ;-). To accompany the mozzarella and prosciutto, we could pick figs from the nearby tree while grapes were growing over our heads on the terrace. Castellina in Chianti is also a nice village – by foot, its center is about 15 minutes away from the apartment. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Review of Alison Pikles, (United Kingdom)

Alison said,

Linda and her husband Gilberto have renovated and created a stunning period property in Chiantishire and are most welcoming and accommodating hosts. The three apartments they rent are all equipped and furnished to the highest standard and have private external areas. The pool is lovely set on a hill overlooking their vineyard and olive grove and the wider countryside. It's a 15 minute walk into Castellina which has a choice of restaurants and some shops and is within easy reach of all the main Tuscan towns and villages. Linda is very happy to provide advice - along with their own olive oil and fresh garden produce! A great vacation base.

Review of Judy Fulmer, 01/06/2013 (USA)

01/06/2013 Judy Fulmer said,
Wonderful owners! Wonderful property! Gorgeous apartment! Linda and her family have spent some years on restoration of this centuries-old farmhouse- that is as close to perfect as you will ever find. Magnificent building materials, workmanship, appointments, and decor! Antique furniture that has been beautifully refinished. This is a small family environment, with some apartments for rent. It is so peaceful and quiet here! You may hear a few farm animals, however, or have a visit from the family cat. The surrounding vineyards are magnificent. Charming - cozy - very comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen and a fantastic bathroom with gorgeous handcrafted tile. Patio with table and chairs to enjoy magnificent Tuscany sunsets - covered by a grapevine trellis. And a gorgeous swimming pool too. Linda and her family were ideal hosts - always there to help us - with many wonderful Tuscany stories to help us understand the rich culture and heritage of this region. Castellina is a beautiful and historic village with all of the services and supplies that you'll need (we drove into town each day). This is an ideal base of operations - and a great value - for nearly any Tuscany holiday. Our family of three had a great time and know that you will too. We only had three days to enjoy all of this - clearly not enough - and certainly look forward to our next visit.

Holidays in Paradise, Gerda and Gerhard, 20/05/2013 (Germany)


Gerda and Gerhard said,
We spent a perfect week in may in the 'Lavender appartment' of this ancient residence and immediately felt like at home. The owners, the Gelli family, gave us such a nice and warm welcome, where always very friendly, and the appartment was so comfortable, even with a dish washer in the kitchen, and everything necessary, a very comfortable bed, a very clean bathroom in tuscan style, that we started to relax immediately. We had such a wonderful private terrace where we had our breakfast and other meals, with wonderful views to the vineyards and their beautiful garden. As the wheather was sometimes very sunny, we could also enjoy the beautiful swimming pool, and relax there. It is a nice walk which takes about 10-15 minutes, up the hill to the village of Castellina in Chianti that we also liked a lot. There are many nice restaurants and shops, and the atmosphere in the evening is perfect. We highly recommend that wonderful place 'Godenano di Mezzo' for a perfect relaxing holiday, our week passed to quickly, and hope to come back one day.

Abbiamo trovato un bel posto con una vista magnifica nel cuore del chianti toscano. L´appartamento per due persone è ampio, molto confortevole e carino. Bene atrezzato, non manca niente. Ha uno terrazzo individuale per poter godere della vista e il sole. Il matrimonio Gelli ci ha ospitato meravigliosamente bene. Torneremmo.

Agriturismo splendido, come il luogo in cui si trova! (Italy), 13/05/2013

Sara Castellarin said,


Io e mio marito siamo stati in questo agriturismo 3 giorni di fine aprile.. cosa possiamo dire? Prima di tutto che la struttura è molto bella: si tratta di un casolare ristrutturato, e l'appartamentino dove abbiamo alloggiato, con ingresso indipendente e verandina esterna, era molto bello, curato, ben arredato e con una cucina molto funzionale e ben fornita. Il luogo in cui si trova è magnifico, in mezzo al verde e quindi lontano dalla confusione, ma allo stesso tempo vicinissimo, al centro storico di Castellina in Chianti, che è decisamente da visitare, e a tanti luoghi di interesse facilmente e velocemente raggiungibili. Da non dimenticare poi che si trova lungo la strada del Chianti e quindi è d'obbligo la visita alle numerose cantine della zona! Ringraziamo anche la famiglia Gelli per essere stata ospitale e disponibile, siamo stati debitamente coccolati e inoltre abbiamo avuto modo di assaggiare ed acquistare dell'ottimo olio d'oliva di loro produzione. Ritorneremmo subito!!

We spend a wonderful time in this charming place very well located to visit Toscany. The host familly was very friendly and helpful. The appartment has been recently renoved in the ancient style, very comfortable and clean, with all commodities. From the flat, we had a beautiful view on the landscape covered of olive trees and vineyards. The garden is beautiful and we had our own terrace. We highly recommand this place and will come again !

A Tuscan Dream

08/04/2013 Iris Rudinger said.
Yes, it sounds like in a romantic, silly B-movie but it´s even BETTER - just without the sillyness ;-) The house and view are like I (and I am sure everyone else!!) always imagined Tuscany and never dreamed of being able to stay in. Plus it is so clean and fresh as if we were the very first guests. The kitchen is perfect and we got the best welcome package with coffee, tea etc. and the best house-brand oliveoil. The bathroom is so nice that I also want a shower like that at home :-)) All the tuscan "must-sees" are around the corner and still you have the quietest and most peaceful get-away. ---> Last but not least: the Gelli Family are the best, friendliest, most helpful, sweetest and entertaining hosts. You will feel at home immediately!
We want to come back and I already recommended the place to my family and friends.
Thanks for a lovely stay and hope to see you soon.

A Little Bit of Heaven In Chianti Loc. Palazzina, 3, Castellina in Chianti, Siena (419836) - Date of Stay October 3, 2012 My husband & I had an amazing 3 days in this gorgeous ancient farmhouse. It was everything that was advertised and more. The apartment was immaculate and the surroundings were breathtaking. The views all around were amazing and unlike anything we had imagined. We were a 15 min. walk away from a quaint town of Castellina in Chianti which had a number of shops and lovely restaurants. We chose to cook most of our meals in the villa as it was so welcoming. There were great meat and vegetable shops in the town. Very quiet and scenic!! The bathroom facility was beautiful with a large shower. The yard with it's vineyard and olive trees was so beautiful and we were lucky enough to have grapes, figs from the trees. Also got to experience their own olive oil which was a real treat. The family owners were so kind and helpful which made our stay even better than we could have planned. We would highly recommend this accommodation to any of our friends and would hopefully return at some time. The only thing we thought would have been good was if we had a car to travel the area a bit more. We did take a bus ride into Siena for a day which was only 30 min. away but would have been able to explore the area better with a car. This was our first trip to Italy and our stay at Godenano di Mezzo was absolutely one of the highlights of our vacation!! Recommended for: Age 55+, Sightseeing, Romantic Getaway

Excelent accomodation with great views to the tipical Tuscany countryside, incluiding San Gimignano in sunny days. Very good location between Firenze(40 minutes by car) and Siena (30 minutes by car). Easy access to almost every important place in Chianti and Tuscany. Great owner's hospitality providing excelent self producted goods (tomatoes, wine and grapes). Owner willing to help both in accomodation and some transport issues.Guillermo M. - Membro n°7638438 (Spagna)

A corner of paradise (Italy)

Francesca Bosatelli said... Oct 10, 2012
A corner of paradise Loc. Palazzina, 3, Castellina in Chianti, Siena (419836) - Date of Stay October 5, 2012 A corner of paradise! It's only way to define this ancient residence of twelve hundred, fully renovated, in the heart of Chianti. The Gelli family received us with courtesy and professionalism. The apartaments have a private entrance and are fully furnished with attention to every detail and very confortable. It's like being at home, with the advantage of being in a property that is lays for seven hectares of vineyards and fruit trees for organic production. During spring you can enjoy a beautiful swimming pool with a wonderful view of the Chianti countryside - the pictures of the pool on the site are not yet available - but from there you can see the magnificent towers of San Gimignano, an ancient Etruscan village (200-300 BC) who began his life as a city in the tenth century. From Castellina in Chianti are within easy reach of Florence and Siena, ancient italian cities universally know and great artistic and architectural. Although we have visited places of cultural interest, what I and the other guests we appreciated most, was the tranquility, peace and relaxation that we could enjoy the old farm pleasantly greeted by the family Gelli who is bilingual, speaking English and Italian regularly, as well as German and Spanish. Un unforgettable holiday in a perfect location! Recommended for: Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
