Elena

Fattoria Santo Stefano

Guest

We did a wine and olive oil tasting at this beautiful farm. The owner Elena and the guide Filippo were very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a tour of the grounds followed by some charcuterie and wine and oil tastings. This was followed up by an amazing lunch of beef and boar ragù and a dessert that was out of this world. I highly recommend the tour and all the wine and oils they offer. My favorite wine was the chianti classico as it goes well with just about any meal. It was such a relaxing reprieve from the crowds of Rome and Naples and gave the feeling of what you see in the movies about Tuscany. Go, relax and enjoy! You will be so pleased you made the journey.

Our recent stay at the Villa on the Santo Stefano Vineyard was …

“Our recent stay at the Villa on the Santo 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!”

LOvE from Australia

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at your establishment for 3 days, about 19 months ago.

It was the beginning of our European holiday and what a way to start it off.

Your family and staff were outstanding in making us feel so welcome.

Everything from the location, food and let’s not forget your fabulous wine, ensured the time we spent there was so memorable.

Your beautiful country is suffering at the moment and while you won’t remember us, we certainly remember and are thinking of you

Felt like family and home!

My wife and I had booked this tour as part of our 20th anniversary visit across Italy and were both very surprised and pleased by the wonderful and friendly welcome, tour of the family business, fantastic tasting with accompanied antipasti followed by wild boar ragu and pasta lunch.
Irenia and Elania made us feel like family and wish we could have stayed and not be rushed off back to Florence.
Definitely a high point of our trip to Italy!

In searching for an Agriturismo in Chianti, I came across Fattoria Santo Stefano. I exchanged many emails with Elena and Irene to plan our stay including a special Birthday dinner, and cooking class. Both were so helpful. They offered many suggestions and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Unfortunately, after all the plans, we had to change our travel plans. But based on their service, I have no doubt the stay would have been amazing.

Irene is a really nice person and the wine tour was absolutely interesting. She speaks in English really well and make all her possible to make people understand everything and feel confortable during the tour;
She is passionate by the vineyards and we can feel this during the stay there
The wine tasting is really good as well as the bruschette served with it.
We came from Belgium to visit it and it was a great time.
We really thank you Irene for your nice welcoming and personality as for the wines and the time shared with us.

Epping Family

This was one of the highlights of our time in Florence. My wife and I took our two adult daughters to Santo Stefano for a tour, wine tasting and a fantastic lunch. Irina and staff were outstanding and really made us free like part of the family. The wine was terrific, so much so we had a bunch shipped back home. We also included a couple bottles of the outstanding olive oil. We highly recommend stopping at the vineyard if you have the opportunity.
