With its 5 rooms, spacious garden on two levels and the swimming pool with a breathtaking view, it's a magical place to live beautiful experiences. Villa La Petraia is an ancient villa in the historic centre of Panzano-in-Chianti. In medieval times, it was the first and only restaurant on the ancient route that connected Florence to Siena, the notorious “Strada maestra del Chianti”. The large two-level garden features a swimming pool with a breathtaking view of olive groves and vineyards of the Chianti area. The terrace, with its wood-burning oven and chef’s barbecue, is the perfect place, it offers a pleasant atmosphere for breakfast, to enjoy lunch or a romantic dinner. The architectural style of the villa has been carefully preserved and each of the five spacious rooms lovingly furnished. Antique accents blend seamlessly into the modern design, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. The main entrance of the villa faces one of Panzano’s main streets, which runs right through the village, while the rear of the villa opens out to a wonderful panoramic position on the beautiful Tuscan hills. You are, therefore, in the unique position of being both in the heart of the quintessential Chianti countryside, yet just a few minutes’ walk from the main square, ‘Piazza Campana’. There, in the shade of the trees, next to the fountain, you can sip a cappuccino or savour a homemade gelato, as you marvel how time seems to stand still in places such as these. A stone’s throw away, a number of excellent restaurants offer delicious Tuscan specialties for lunch or dinner while the nearby local shops carry any groceries or supplies you might need. In the evening, the well-stocked wine bars open their doors and invite you in to taste some of the many superb local wines.
