recommended Borgo di Gaiole sits on the hillside above the village. It is just a five minute walk down to shops, cafes, restaurants and all essential facilities. |

We have prepared a series of laminated walking notes for half day and full day walks from the apartment and around the area. Excellent local cooking courses are available at Malberghetto in Lecchi, and we will provide contact and booking details on reservation. In Gaiole, you can hire Vespa scooters and explore the local lanes. Brilliant fun on the bright red machines. It is only a short walk down to Luca's office, and then start your scooter tour of the vineyards and hilltop villages! More information at www.tuscanyscooterrental.com

Reviews
Perfect place for a family with children....
This was exactly what we were hoping for and even a bit more. The tasteful apartment was perfect for two grown-ups and a kid of almost two. Nice 'breakfast balcony' but especially the small garden with the barbecue was fantastic. Very calm, nice view, airconditioned but also natuarally comfortable with thick stone walls. Friendly atmosphere in 'the Borgo'. Very delicate and comfortable.
Amazing apartment
Stayed in this apartment for six days. The facilities were great, everything you needed was provided. The welcome bottle of wine was a lovely touch. The swimming pool was beautiful and we were often the only ones using it. Gaiole is a beautiful town and you can get everything you need from there (though due to our own poor planning we sometimes missed the opening hours!). Two great pizzerias and lovely restuarants for light night Chianti. I can't wait to come back!! 10 Sept 2011
Great apartment and brilliant base for sightseeing
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casacorvo Minore. It is a lovely apartment and well equipped. Very comfortable and the terrace has a good view of the surrounding area, so it is a great place to sit and chill! The pool is great. It is a fantastic base for sightseeing. Gaiole has shops (loved the butchers) and a small supermarket which is a few minutes walk away (longer on the way back because of the hill!) and some good restaurants.
Phil (the owner) was really helpful with plenty of advice before we went. All in all, a fantastic week and would definitely go back. 26th Sept 2011
