The nearest town to this apartment is Panzano, a charming little village that began as a medieval castle, and still retains some of the walls and towers even today. It is notable for a number of local restaurants that are simply divine. Every Sunday morning (until 1 pm) a market is held on the main square, so you'll be able to get your flowers, vegetables, fruit, meat, cheese, and everything else for the week! There are also some very unique festivals and events throughout the year in the area (see nearby attractions, below). This is a great place to eat out and to relax while enjoying local life. Greve in Chianti, just a few minutes' drive away, is a little town with a cute market square lined with porticos and shops, the oldest part of the city from the time when it operated as a stopping place between Florence and Siena. The former convent of San Francesco also hosts and art museum... And don't miss Saturday market in the square! The area surrounding Greve is dotted with little medieval villages, great for exploration, and there are also numerous "castellos" in the countryside that host wine tasting. Florence and Siena are both easily accessible from this apartment in Tuscany, a great way to hit both of these fantastic destinations.

Enjoyed Most:
The living room was large enough for 4 to 6 persons. Absolutely great swimming pool.
you only have to drive about 1 hour to visit towns like Florence, Siena, and Lucca.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The beds could be bigger, they are small for tall people over 6'1". There were stinging flies in one of the bedrooms. The bathroom could be better - the shower is a little small, and there is no bathtub. There is no microwave in the kitchen.
Surrounding Area:
The superb views with the green cypress trees and the winding roads.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The nearest small town is Panzano in Chianti. It's within walking distance, but it will take 45 minutes to reach it.
Tips or Restaurants:
There a nice restaurant in Greve, Bottega del Moro on Piazza Trieste.

Overall:
I would recommend this villa it to anyone - it is especially family friendly with a nice sized pool that can actually be used to swim laps.
The map and info in the Rentvillas "little white book" was excellent. We tried many of the sites, excursions, and restaurants....all were super choices.
Enjoyed Most:
The property was central to most of the sites we wanted to visit - Castellina in Chianti, Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, etc. As it was on the top of a hill, we always benefited from the breeze - a plus on hot summer days! When we arrived, it was spotless and the keyholder explained everything to our satisfaction.
Surrounding Area:
It was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The people in the surrounding towns are extremely friendly and patient with those who speak very little italian. They are also quite ready to help you learn the words you need.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Panzano is about 4 kilometres away - half of it uphill most of it in the first kilometre when you leave the villa. It is a great walk for exercise and can be done on foot in about 40 to 45 minutes. The walk back always seemed easier!
Tips or Restaurants:
If at all possible, bring a knife that cuts for food preparation. I would also bring mosquito netting for the windows. My two companions were immune to the mosquitoes but I, for an unknown reason, was positively assaulted by them - but only on the first two nights.
The best coffee and gelato is found in the bar Caffe Curva in the main piazza in Panzano.
Vescovino is an excellent restaurant, although some may consider it pricy - try the eggplant appetizer!
