enjoy a beautiful and unrestricted view from most rooms, the balcony, ideal for a romantic dinner and the swimming pool in stone surrounded by olive trees, ideal to relax under the sun, into a
typical tuscan landscape stretching from the former monastery 'Rignana' to San Donato and to
Tavernelle in the far horizon. Amazing and fascinating not only at sunset!
Casa

The apartment in the main building is 210 mē
and was recently completely refurbished so that guests can enjoy the features of a
tuscan farmhouse and the comfort of a new villa.
Brief history of Panzano:
The name of the village of Panzano is of Roman origin but the settlement is older since Etruscan finds have been made in the neighbourhood. The first documentary evidence is 11 C, when the development of the "borgo", the village around the castle, took place.

|
|
The castle stands on a ridge separating the Val di Greve from the Val di Pesa, exactly
halfway between Florence and Siena, between which it was always a source
of contention. The castle is now private, but the courtyard and the surroundings can be
visited, and the houses along the downhill road have a mediaeval character. There are
some remnants of the old Roman paved roads, the Senice, which are still in use.
Guests are also allowed to eat and pick our aromatic herbs and fruits from our vegetable garden. |
