Karen's Review Of
La Volpaia:
La Volpaia:
For years Andrea and Silvia have literally opened their entire home to guests, welcoming and re-welcoming guests to their bed and breakfast. International guests gather together in the evenings out on the patio or in the converted barn for one of Silvia’s delightful meals based on fresh vegetables and meats enhanced with their own extra-virgin olive oil. Conversation is never lacking with meals accompanied by La Volpaia’s own Chianti (all beverages are included in the half-board rate). Andrea, a native Roman architect and sculptor, bought the wine estate with its 16th-century farmhouse 19 years ago and his pieces in olive wood are displayed in and about the property. The five cozy bedrooms are appointed with antiques, as is the large living room with fireplace. Beyond the patio where meals are served is the spectacular swimming pool with its heavenly views of what can only be described as a truly classic Tuscan landscape. Guests are made to feel immediately right at home in this informal setting and so it is no wonder that many become “regulars” to this idyllic spot so close to the highlights of Tuscany.

My girlfriend Kathy and I recently stayed at La Volpaia for several days. It was a wonderful experience! Andreas and Sylvia were perfect hosts. They made us feel right at home except there is no way that our ’home cooking’ could ever start to match Sylvia’s. Her multi-course meals would start on the patio in the evening with antipasto that included regional sausages, cheese, wine, olives from their own trees, and foccacia bread straight from the oven. We would then move into the dining a...

Silvia and Andrea’s la Volpaia is the warmest, most comfortable spot I can imagine. We truly felt like honored and welcome guests, not customers. Silvia’s delicious meals are delightfully creative and succulent, with thoughtful accommodation made to our allergies and diabetes. Andrea’s restoration of their charming home has made it comfortable for us spoiled modern folk without sacrificing the charm of a lovely old house. And the art work and warm ambience that they both contribute makes thi...
