About The Experience

Described by one of our resident travel advisors as “the nicest villa I have visited to date!” you will not go wrong while staying here. In addition to being absolutely gorgeous, the villa features a gourmet kitchen that is great for cooking lessons, a salt-water infinity pool, and beautiful views over the surrounding landscape. Even more, this holiday accommodation is on a working farm with vineyards so you’ll only need to take a few steps for some delicious wine tasting!

Location Description

Situated 150 m from the Via Chiantigiana (S222), the main road that runs through the Chianti region, the villa is perched on a hill and surrounded by trees. Some road noise can occasionally be heard. The villa rental in Tuscany is located in the hilly southern part of Panzano, considered to be the premium region of Chianti Classico wine. The surrounding countryside is rugged and hilly, dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and woods. Panzano, with grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, a butcher, green grocer, Sunday market, pharmacy, post office, bus stop, and ATM, is only 3 km away. It is also home to the world renowned butcher, Dario Cecchini. The picturesque villages of Volpaia, Greve, and Radda are nearby, as well as the Ugolino golf course and the designer outlets in Leccio Reggello.

Exterior Description

(53 hectares)
The “casa colonica” farmhouse is built in a traditional rustic Tuscan style with white-washed stone walls, wood beamed ceilings, and terracotta tiled floors. The original farm dates back to 1085, and since 1988 it has been remodeled twice. The villa is designed to feel like a gracious vineyard residence. The unfenced estate has been frequently featured on posters, postcards and paintings. There are three structures on the property: the main villa, an office/tasting room, and a wine making facility. The latter two belong to a small boutique winery. The winemaker/caretaker (and his two small Sheltie dogs) lives in an apartment attached to the north side of the villa. The apartment has its own private entrance and patio. There are multiple private terraces, each with its own unique and magnificent view of the Chianti hills. Off the kitchen is a large terrace, outfitted with two large lava stone tables and seating for at least 10, a built-in gas barbeque, an outdoor heater, and a large umbrella. On the opposite side of the house, off of the living room, is another large terrace, which is partially covered and has a table with seating for 10. In the pool area there are 10 lounge chairs, an outdoor shower, and a pergola with an additional table and seating for 6. The salt water swimming pool is open from the beginning of May through end of September. It is 15 m long and tiled in marble. The entire pool area is private. There is a private parking area with spaces for 4-5 cars.
