It is a 30 minute drive to Florence. Which is perfect. Not too close but close enough. Tons of good wineries around. Small boutique wineries. Elena can help you with guides for wine or Florence. We had a wonderful time with her suggested guides. This can be a one stop for Tuscany. Grocery store is 10 minutes away with easy parking. Hope to stay here again.

Wonderful Vintage villa
we had a wonderful stay at the Villa. Plenty of room for our group and the grounds were charming. We had our own private pool, but also had access to the larger communal pool which the neighbouring villas used. Elena was great and she was very responsive to our requests even lending us her HDMI cable! We ordered in a meal for one of the nights from Elena, it was one of the best meals we had in our time in Italy. And her wine is of course delicious!

Magnificent Villa & Location. Breathtaking Views
Our friends don’t believe the sunset photos are real. They are and were a magnificent climax to many of our amazing ten days living in the villa at Fattoria Santo Stefano in July 2023. The villa with a large chef worthy kitchen, plenty of comfortable living space and seven AC bedrooms was perfect for our family of eleven people including two kids. Its spaces under the great marble staircase or the 12 person dining table gave the kids joyful hiding place adventures. The pool, hot-tub and garden/terrace added additional space to relax each evening and share stories about everyone’s adventures or sit back with a glass of the villa’s own outstanding Chianti Classico and enjoy the splendid views. The photos on the website are accurate. Family owned, in the case of the Villa at Santo Stefano, means if you are there you become part of the family. Elena, her brother, niece and staff were present to us in so many ways and always warm, friendly and helpful. There were countless little gestures like bringing our laundry in from outside when it rained, providing some fresh eggs for breakfast from their chickens, etc. that made us feel welcome and at home. The added amenities of a wine tour and meal preparation are noteworthy and recommended. We had delicious lasagna, ribollita, tiramisu and fantastic crostini among other Tuscan treats. Piazza Matteotti, main plaza of Greve in Chianti is just 3 miles away, close to a grocery and a local bus stop to Florence.

We brought our entire family for a week, 8 adults and 7 teenagers. Elena was wonderful to work with starting with accommodating the 15th person to making very helpful suggestions throughout the week. Also, their wine is wonderful! Unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of their preparing meals for us due to a long list of specific dietary restrictions. The views were wonderful and pool was a big hit especially considering the heatwave. It is quiet and very conveniently located just outside Greve. And finally, the piano was a pleasant surprise especially for our oldest grandson. So, the villa, location and service completely met our high expectations.

WONDERFUL LOCATION, WONDERFUL HOST, WONDERFUL FOOD & WINE!!! BELISSIMO, SPETTACOLARE, PERFECTO!!!
We spent a week staying at this beautiful villa. SO much good feedback to share it is hard to know where to start. Huge space with 6 spacious rooms and 2 baths upstairs. All of the bedrooms have integrated A/C units which make even the hottest summer night totally bearable. The remainder of the villa stays cool and comfortable. Downstairs has two more bathrooms and full laundry. Kitchen is well equipped. Whole property has retained its original charm and character with modern touches that make it a great place to stay. The Location – The views from the Villa are STUNNING. We never got tired of the view, the sunset directly every evening across the pool and garden, miles and miles of beautiful Tuscan countryside. The pool is immaculately cleaned and maintained. Back patio/table space is beautiful and perfect setting for any meal. The Villa is only 6-7 mins drive direct into the town. The Host – Elena and her family and team are incredible. Attentive, caring, an incredible cook and a wonderful host all round. It was a fabulous family experience.. We have stayed in tens of vacation rentals around the world and this is certainly in our 'best of the best' list. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The highlight of our trip to Italy.
Our time in the villa at Fattoria Santo Stefano was the highlight of our trip to Italy. From the spectacular views, the spacious accommodation and the friendly hosts, this was the perfect stay for our group of 9. We had sooo much space and the 4 bathrooms + laundry were a treat we wouldn't find anywhere else on our trip. The pool was a wee chilly but the kids didn't mind! And i can't even begin to describe the views. Postcard stunning. Elena was a superb host, and a highlight of our stay was the cooking class we did with her! It was fun and interactive (and delicious!) and even our children were fully immersed. Located on a winery certainly had it's perks too and we were of course obliging clients determined to drink our fair share lol .. The surrounding community of Greve In Chianti is quaint and had all the amenities from groceries, restaurants, and a cute piazza. We rented bikes and explored the surrounding countryside and wineries which was a bucket list day for sure. It is a short drive in to Firenze or down to Sienna, and all the other must-see Tuscan villages along the way. We saw many parts of Italy on our trip, but ask any of the family, our stay at Santo Stefano was our favourite part.

Magical Stay in Tuscany
Our recent stay at the Villa on the Santos Stefano Vineyard was wonderful! We had a party of 8 staying there for a week and the accommodations were perfect. The photos on VRBO can’t capture the views from the private patio and pool area. Sunsets were phenomenal! The best part of this stay was the delightful hostess Elena! When we arrived there was a huge bowl of fruit from their garden on the kitchen table and the fridge was stocked with water, several bottles of wine from the vineyard and cheese. Elena gave us a tour of the villa and then we were given a wine tasting of their wines just steps away. Breakfast can be arranged in advance and it is worth the additional cost. It is an amazing spread with eggs, cheese, juice, croissants, meats, fruit, you name it. The croissants are baked fresh every morning and are the best I’ve ever had. Elena was so helpful in recommending and helping us make dinner reservations at local restaurants. They were all fabulous! I would also recommend scheduling a cooking class with Elena. She is an amazing chef. Our group took the cooking class and she was wonderful making sure the 2 children in our group were included in the fun. We made tempura zucchini flowers stuffed with sardines for an appetizer, homemade gnocchi with basil and garlic pesto, chicken with the most delicious tomato sauce, and tiramisu for dessert. We ate our delicious meal in the beautiful courtyard watching the sunset and drinking their fabulous wine! In addition to the wonderful Elena, the other staff members were delightful! It’s a family operation and we were treated to a tour of the wine cellars and vineyard by Elena’s charming niece, Irene. Also, Elena’s kitchen and housekeeping staff were so lovely. They did not speak English nor we Italian but somehow we were able to communicate and their warmth was felt! I must also give a nod to the vineyard cats, Billy and Romeo, who entertained my granddaughters the entire stay. My favorite memory from our visit was on our last day as we were carrying out our luggage. We heard “arrivederci!”. We looked across the street and one of the kitchen staff had opened her second story window and was waving goodbye to us with the sweetest smile! This is a truly magical place that goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome! Bravo to Elena and all! We will be back!

Lovely Chianti Farmhouse
A large and rustic farmhouse with plenty of space for a large group. The pool was private and perfect for our family of 6. Elena and her family were helpful and friendly with everything we needed, and were able to deliver wine to our villa! We ordered dinner one evening at the villa and it was amazing! Everything was delicious and served on our patio. Central location was close to several things for us: Pisa, Luca, Florence, Panzano, Etc. Definitely need a rental car, but it’s easy to get around. The local town of Greve has wonderful restaurants and a great grocery store. The only complaint I have is the mosquitos. It may have been the time of year (June), but several in our group got eaten alive. Lovely property and amazing wine!

The Tuscan Dream
Come, live the dream of Tuscany you dream of! Bring a big group, friends, family. Make big meals together in the wonderful kitchen. Eat the local cheese, meats, pastas, together outside while you overlook the rolling hills of Tuscany and enjoy the amazing sunset. Drink the local wine, use the olive oil that is grown and pressed onsite. Stay in this beautiful, comfortable farmhouse, with room for everyone. Relax in the pools, or take a wine tour. Go to the Saturday market in Greve, or further afield to Pisa, Florence, Siena. Return to the serious splendor of your hilltop villa. In the cool dark of the mornings, open up the giant old doors to wash the house in Tuscan sunlight, flower-scented air permeating your senses. In the garden filled with roses, find fresh herbs, lettuce, artichokes, lemons. Make no mistake, this house will let you live those dreams, making memories that will last a lifetime.

Heaven in Tuscany!
Two families of four people, each with children in their 20’s, spent a wonderful week in August 2019 at this villa, just outside of Greve in Chianti. As the other reviews have noted, this property, and especially its hosts, are wonderful. Our stay exceeded our very high expectations. The villa itself is a beautiful old home with many large rooms. It is set within a larger property which has a B&B and wine and olive vineyards. The villa has its own (small) pool and whirlpool. The larger property has a larger pool which villa guests can use. We felt it was the best of both worlds — privacy if you wanted it, but the ability to interact with others and take advantage of the larger property if you wanted to. The villa has amazing views and sitting outside by the pool is heaven. The sunsets over the Tuscan hills are unbelievable. Our hosts, brother and sister, Elena and Agostino, were wonderful to deal with. Elena was very responsive before we arrived, and once we were there, she made every aspect of our stay wonderful. Elena cooked dinner for us several nights. The many-course dinners were incredible, and she adapted to the vegetarians in our group. As others have noted, the villa is up a windy dirt road. We thought that added to the charm, and there is no avoiding windy roads if you visit Tuscany. The location is terrific — 45 minutes drive to Florence and near many lovely Tuscan towns. We cannot recommend this villa highly enough.

Bella Villa Toscana
The villa, the farm, and the setting are absolutely stunning!!! We were a family of 12 and we stayed in the villa for 8 days/7 nights and it was fabulous. Our villa had its own private pool for cooling off, the property is set in the hills of Tuscany amidst vineyards and olive trees, and the views were amazing in every direction, and there were herbs, incredible plants, and fruit trees all around the grounds. Fattoria Santo Stefano has great wine and EVOO, which we were able to taste after our farm tour with our host Irena, who was very knowledgable in all operations of this working winery and olive farm. This was a perfect location for day trips around Tuscany, including trips to Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, and even Cinque Terre! The small nearby villages of Greve in Chianti and Panzano have all you need in terms of groceries, banking, and basic supplies and even some nice little shops for traditional Italian goods (hand-painted ceramics) as well as a GREAT Macelleria where we were able to get all of our Tuscan meats for our antipasti dishes as we ate in the garden for lunch or at sunset! Agostino was great during our check-in and got us settled, including our welcome meal on our villa patio overlooking the Tuscan Sunset, as well as taking care of all of our needs all week long, no matter what was needed. Elena was a super host, able to answer any and all of our questions all week, took care of any requests we had, and was able to prepare several meals for us with traditional tuscan foods that were outstanding. The Villa is also big enough for a private cooking class which we booked, and we had a blast learning to cook traditional Tuscan food and meals, then had an amazing dinner in the gardens. The Villa itself had plenty of space, with 6 BRs, great kitchen, spacious living areas, and bathrooms, but honestly you will spend most of your time on the patio in the garden overlooking the pool, vineyards, and hills of Tuscany - the views are beyond words. The BRs are air-conditioned for comfortable sleeping at night as well. One recommendation for guests if you do stay, a car rental is a must - the villa is just far enough outside of any of the villages to require a vehicle for local travel, and will enable guests to tour Tuscany as they wish. Overall, we couldn't say enough about our experience there with the Bendinelli family, their villa, and all of its accommodations, including the superb service from Elena, Agostino, and Irena.

Stunning Tuscan villa for a group
This villa was the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday with my closest family and friends. The setting perched high on a hill was stunning, and the house was even more beautiful than in the photos. Elena was a perfect host, friendly and attentive. My friends and I are foodies, and we loved that they bottle their own (delicious) Chianti Classico and olive oil from their groves. We took advantage of that by requesting extra bottles during our week in the villa. The pool was a favorite spot of us all to cool off in after a hot day walking around Italy in the summer, and the view from the pool cannot be beat. The house has A/C but stayed cool enough during our visit that we never needed it. All the rooms have multiple windows that we threw open to let the breezes flow. The house is up the road from the town of Greve, which itself was an unexpected charming gem. The town has a plaza with good restaurants, gourmet cheese store, butcher, gelato, and shopping. On Saturdays the plaza becomes a large market with fresh produce and more shopping. The Coop grocery store in town was well stocked, something we took advantage of when we needed more Prosecco and Aperol for cocktail hour. :) All-in-all this was the most stunning of the many vacation rentals I've stayed in, the perfect place for celebrating a special occasion with a large group.
