Lago at Cornino
Location address: Castellina in Chianti - Siena
The Hamlet of Cornino Overlooking the Chianti hills, this is a peaceful retreat close to the town of Castellina in Chianti but in the heart of the countryside. This beautifully restored property is surrounded by olive groves and unforgettable views. The property is divided into 4 apartments, all with their own private terraces and entrances.
In the well maintained gardens there is a large pool which is in the sun the whole day. At one end of the pool there is a baby pool with a waterfall. The pool overlooks the hills and valleys below. From here there is a spectacular view across Tuscany which is dotted with villas, vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees.
Pool Info
The large pool is in an ideal spot for relaxing and admiring the marvelous views that surround you. This is sun covered the whole day, but there is shade nearby. There is a small fountain that runs into the baby pool, which leads into the main pool.
The kidney form pool invites you to cool off in its refreshing waters as you come in from a day of site seeing.
The pool is 7 x 14 meters and 0.7 to 1.3meters deep, the baby pool is 70cm deep. The pool is open from May to September.
Nearest town
Castellina in Chianti is the nearest town to Cornino. Within walking distance from the property there is a very small family run restaurant, and 1.5km away there is the restaurant L'Osteria del Laghetto.

What were the highlights of your holiday? The location and views from the property , the BBQ was good and we used it a number of nights even though there was a fully equiped kitchen . The owners were friendy and helpful and really contributed to the stay. There was a good walk from the property with views over the valley . Getting to Florence and Siena wasn't a problem and we visited a local Chianti wine festival , wines near the propoerty were also good
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? Accomodation was great and the photos on the website didn't do it justice .
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? No
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? Truely enjoyable time a delivered on what we expected from a stay in Tuscany

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Der ganze Urlaub war ein Highlight. Besonders hervorzuheben ist sicher der alltägliche Sonnenuntergang, den man von der Terrasse unserer Unterkunft beobachten kann.
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Der Gesamteindruck ist gut. Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr (gleiche Unterkunft) scheint jedoch die Gartenpflege etwas reduziert worden zu sein. Die Duschkabinentür müsste einmal grundgereinigt werden. Die Geschirrausstattung ist ausreichend, könnte aber etwas großzügiger ausfallen.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Die Zufahrt zur Anlage ist weiterhin in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Die Bewältigung der S-Kurve auf den letzten 500 m ist nur nach Abschaltung des ESP-Systems halbwegs sicher zu bewältigen!

What were the highlights of your holiday? Views and sunsets from Lago terrace and sighseeing in Pienza, Siena, Lucca and San Gimignano.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? Overall, the villa was excellent. It was clean, well equipped with stunning rural views and matched the description and photos on the website. The location was very good for sightseeing and the pool was much appreciated given the hot weather.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? The music from the restaurant complex at the bottom of the hill was an issue. On the Wednesday night of our stay it was totally unacceptable Very loud house music e.g. Prodigy's smack my b**** up went on until the early hours (1am) and disturbed our evening. This was not what we expected in a rural villa/location in Tuscany.
Do you have any other comments? Overall, we were very happy with the service and accommodation provided by To Tuscany and we would use the service again as well as recommending it to friends and family.

Linda - I got back from Italy over the weekend, and just wanted to let you know that our stay at Cornino - Lago was outstanding. It was a great recommendation on your part and I thank you for it. The views were to die for, and the villa was extremely well located in terms of access to all the major site-seeing attractions in the area. I would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks again.
Kind regards

Hi,
We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Lago apartment, Cornino, Castellina in Chianti. (21/07 – 04/08/2007)
We have had really good holiday in a very comfortable apartment with lovely views over Tuscany’s countryside.
This is the first time we have used your company and have been very impressed with the accommodation and the service we have received from yourselves.
I have attached a photo that I took from the terrace of our apartment which just about sums up the beauty of the area. [photo added to gallery]
Thanks once again

Hi Dympna,
For some reason I can't type the answers under your questions, but I
would like to answer them anyway.
This is the first time that we have used your service and we have been
very impressed, with no complaints at all.
With regards to the accommodation, it was excellent, very clean and
tidy, the pool was very much used in the heat. We were well looked
after by the owners representative and once again no compaints.
We enjoyed visits to Florence, Siena and all the surrounding towns and
villages. We think the best part of the holiday was being able to enjoy
the local food and wine in such a lovely setting.
Once again thanks

I had been here before and the accommodation was exactly as I remembered and therefore exactly what I wanted.
As always - sitting on the Verandah, night and morning watching the sun rise or set over the rolling hills of Chianti. The general level of noise - the country is so quiet and peacefull. The lack of pressure to be anywhere in particular to meet a deadline. Quietly exploring the local villages and of course the italian food and wine!!

Wonderful, and exactly like it was shown on your web page
The area is incredibly beautiful. The pool was a huge asset given how
hot it was, and as we had it practically to ourselves. There is a
wonderful bar/restaurant 2 minutes up the road which we loved and had a
couple of excellent dinners. Really nice guy called Andrea runs it,
spoke no English but still was very friendly and served delicious food
in a brilliant setting.
Gorgeous! Really beautiful. Sunsets were fabulous. Loved looking out
over the olive groves and vineyards. Exactly as Tuscany should be. Great
location for Florence, San Giminiano and Siena. Really loved it!
Many thanks again for everything. We hugely enjoyed the house in Tuscany
and had a fabulous time.
All the best

Very spacious accommodation (Lago) which was clean and well decorated. Also the
location was wonderful both in the sense of glorious views but also
convenient for most major sites.

We fell in love with Cornino. The location and views are superb. To open the window in
the morning and look across the vineyards and olive groves basking in the
morning sun was great. On clear days San Gimingano stood on in the
distance. Inside, the property was very well finished. Very good furniture
and everything you needed for cooking etc. We would recommend it to anyone.
One word of caution - the drive up the hill round the sharp bends is quite
an experience! My first two attempts failed then I got the hang of it -
just. The garden and swimming pool were excellent.
Thanks again for your help and hopefully we will use your services again
some time in the future.
Best regards

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
