Testimonianze
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 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!
Toscana bella
We genoten echt van dit mooie verblijf in Toscane. In het stadje vlakbij kan je ook heerlijk eten.
Tuscan paradise
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.
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
Absolutely great!
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!
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.
Enjoyed
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
Peace and relax!
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!
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.
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!
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
Calme, propreté, confort
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!
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!
Great location for driving throughout Tuscany, Andrea D., Canada
We stayed here for 7 nights. Beautiful location and nice pool. We drove to many locations around Tuscany. It was great for day trips to Tuscany, Siena etc.
Lovely place to relax in the heart of Tuscan vineyards
Lovely place to relax in the heart of Tuscan vineyards. Amazing sunset, very nice swimmingpool. Linda is a very nice host.
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.
Lieu très joli, intime, tranquille. La propriétaire nous a bien accueillit. La vue est magistrale!, Martin G., France
Communication simple et bel accueil , photo très représentatives. Lieu propre et intime, piscine ultra propre avec vue magnifique sur la vallée. Entouré de nature, plusieurs beaux villages à distance raisonnable. La municipalité est aussi très attrayante et typique. Bon vin, bon restos! La propriétaire est à l’affût de nos besoins.
Excellent welcoming. Beautiful place. Experience to live., Guillaume D., France
The location is just splendid. The welcoming by Gelli is warm , and efficient. We felt ourselves at home.
Urlaub mit Ausblick, Karin W., Germany
Wir haben die Zeit im Apartment Lavanda, das sehr liebevoll eingerichtet ist, sehr genossen. Die Lage ist ein perfekter Ausgangsort für die Erkundung der Toskana. Der Pool ist riesig und man hat einen tollen Ausblick. Linda war sehr hilfsbereit und gastfreundlich.
Ein traumhaft schönes Anwesen, Eva B., Germany
Wonderful!, Katarina S., USA
We had a wonderful time! The property is beautiful, surrounded by vineyards and olive tree orchards. The owners were super friendly always available to answer our questions and had lots of great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. 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.
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!!

A beautiful place in the vineyards around Castellina in Chianti and only a short walk to town. Spectacular views of the countryside from the terrace.
Séjour parfait, Patrick L., France
Séjour très agréable au milieu de la campagne Toscane La maison est grande et très bien équipée. Excellent accueil de Linda qui nous a donné de nombreux conseils pour les visites et est très disponible. Castellina in Chianti est très bien située à proximité de Sienne, de Florence, de San Geminiano.. Un séjour à recommander!
We absolutely loved this Airbnb!, USA
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!
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.
Great place to stay, Kristen Black, USA

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.

Très belle résidence, Alexandre L., France

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.
Urlaub in traumhafte Lage.

The 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!
mme
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.

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.
Kind regards,

Un superbe séjour, Vincent Croc, FRANCE
Un superbe séjour, le lieu est fantastique, tout est beau et très bien entretenu, le site est extraordinaire. Linda est un hôte très agréable, et très prévenante. Nous reviendrons !
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

Perfect quiet & homely place, Roald Van Loon, Holland
"Perfect quiet & homely place to discover the Chianti region! Beautiful views across the vineyards, superbly outfitted apartment and kitchen, great pool (although we haven't used it), and above all a lovely host. Thank you Linda!"
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!

Lovely Property, Great Location, Beautifully restored, Bill Lindsey, USA
I stayed in the Lavanda(Levender) cottage, which is a nice one bedroom, with a nice sized lovely bathroom, and a nice sized sitting area/kitchen. 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!
Highly recommended!

Wir waren hier für 5 Nächte und hatten eine gute Zeit. Das Apartment ist sehr sauber und ist mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt. Wir hatten zudem einen tollen Empfang durch die Gastgesberin, mit Olivenöl von der eigenen Plantage sowie mit frischen Feigen, Pfirsiche und Tomaten. Die Lage ist ruhig und man kann den Hügel hinauf die Stadt in ca. 15 Minuten erreichen.

Nice stay in a beautiful surroundings, Adamantides, FRANCE
As a family or four, we had a really nice week in the FALCO apartment this summer, spacious and nicely furnished, with a beautiful view and sometimes deers under our windows.The pool is overlooking the vineyards. The owner provided us with delicious tomatoes from her garden, and olive oil of her fabrication. We recommend this nice place and very convenient to visit from Firenze to Sienna.

The grounds and views of Godenano di mezzo are stunning and relaxing. Linda, the owner, is always very helpful and happy to chat but she also respects your privacy and time. The lovely quaint town of Castellina in Chianti is a perfect place to hang your hat and feel the beauty and the essence of Tuscany. This very special place warms our hearts so much that we have already book our return. There is truly no other place we would stay. Clean, quiet, comfortable, and full of charm. |

Exceptionnel !, Arthur Meignen, France
L'ancienne ferme est idéalement située au cœur du Chianti, à côté d'un charmant petit village proche de Sienne et Florence. On a pu profiter des vues magnifiques sur la campagne environnante, jusqu'à San Gimignano ! Les prestations de l'appartement sont à la hauteur du pays : parfaitement restauré, il offre un endroit où on se sent tout de suite chez soi, avec calme et fraîcheur... l'accueil de Linda, la propriétaire, a été extrêmement agréable ; ses précieux conseils nous ont accompagné tout au long du séjour. Mention spéciale pour la chat de la maison... un phénomène !

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!

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

My husband and I spent a few days at this fabulous villa and enjoyed our time there so very much! 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.

Linda and her husband run the beautiful estate where we were welcomed both cordially and professionally. During our stay we totally fell in love with the neat and tidy premises: the apartment provided everything we needed (just like everything else on the agritourismo), we had perfect hosts and the location was strategically well situated for some nice day trips. We will definitely come back again!

Magical Tuscan experience, Jeffrey and Jodi, Canada
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 a Falco Apartment and had a wonderful time there, Vincent Rosner (Germany)
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!

My husbad and I stayed in the Rosemary room for a week in June and cannot say enough good things about it! The room was lovely, clean and tastefully decorated, the views from our terrace were incredible (we so enjoyed eating outdoors and watching the sunsets while sipping Chianti's finest) and being able to walk into Castellina was an added bonus. Such a delightful little town with lots of great restaurants! The owner was lovely and the olive oil delicious :) We would definitely return to this location should the opportunity arise!!

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)
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)
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.

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!!Review of Cécile Sapin (Francia)
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 !

Recensine di Iris Rudinger (Germany) "A Tuscan Dream"
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
Recensione Guilliermo Martinez (Spagna)
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)
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
