Tuscan Nights is pleased to present this wonderful apartment for holiday rentals to our clients!  With two bedrooms, one bath (second bath to be added in 2010), full kitchen, living and dining rooms it offers all the comforts of home while enjoying the fabulous countryside of Chianti!  Three terraces present beautiful views of both Montebenichi's charming Piazza Gorizia as well as vistas across the hillsides of Tuscany towards Siena. 

Just 20 minutes from Siena and less than an hour south of Florence, Montebenichi is a perfect location for exploring Tuscany and Umbria, and Casa di Gorizia provides a comfortable home base in this very special hamlet.  Day trips are possible to so many of the famous sites and small hill towns - wine tasting in Chianti, biking along beautiful country roads, or just exploring the many treasured places of this magical part of Italy.

Our objective is to strive to exceed your expectations in terms of the quality and value you experience at Casa di Gorizia and prices may adjust in the future based on market conditions. Multi-week discounts are available - please inquire for details and arrangements.

This is the active time in Tuscany - the sunflowers are in full show during July, and there is an excitement in the air as the more popular tourist sites are alive with excited visitors.  This is Italy on full display!  Starting in mid-September, things begin to quiet down from the tourists, but all the little towns and villages have their special 'festiva' so there's still much to do.  And, of course, October is grape harvest season, which is something not to be missed!

2010 Low-Season: November 1st - December 15th, 750 euro per week

Enjoy the olive harvest and the settling in of winter in Tuscany!  Crowds are low and access is still reasonable to the top tourist attractions in the larger cities!  A great bargain time for smart travelers.
