Property 1708344295 - Bagno a Ripoli

8 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area

Immersed in the tranquil Tuscan countryside, this charming estate is ideally located to explore Tuscany’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Situated in the heart of Chianti, between Florence and Siena, Property 1708344295 exudes classic charm with a distinctive style that is evocative of traditional Tuscany. Ideal for families and groups of friends who want to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, Property 1708344295 is close to Florence yet perfectly peaceful and private.

The villa is just a stone's throw away from Greve in Chianti, a gastronomist’s paradise close to Panzano. Butchers around the town are famed for their beef, wild boar, cured pork, and more. Surrounded by Chianti vineyards, Greve hosts Chianti’s best-known grape harvest festival, the Expo del Chianti Classico. Over a long weekend in September, there are guided outdoor tastings plus live music and other events. This is classic Chianti country, just like you have seen in pictures and Renaissance paintings.

In just thirty-five minutes by car, you can reach Florence, a treasure trove of art with an astonishing contemporary vibe. Beyond the extraordinary artistic heritage, a testimony to its centuries of civilization, the best way to enjoy Florence is to stroll along the riverside avenues at sunset, or to get lost among the city’s myriad alleyways of the bohemian Oltrarno or the narrow little streets of San Niccolò, where it feels like you have ended up in another time along its centuries-old walls.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Panzano, which overlooks the Conca d’Oro, a “Golden Bowl” of sunbaked, south-facing Sangiovese vines that produce some of the region’s most sought-after red wines. Panzano is also home to Chianti’s most famous butcher, Dario Cecchini. You can taste Dario’s meat cooked, too, at a trio of Cecchini-owned restaurants: Dario DOC, for informal lunch at communal tables, Solociccia, for hungry meat-lovers, and Officina Della Bistecca, for the very hungry carnivore.
