LocationDescription
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 peace and quiet.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The bed was very uncomfortable and we ended up putting the mattress on the floor for most of our stay.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Equidistant from Panzano and Greve. Unfortunately, neither were really walkable.
Tips or Restaurants:
Cafferreta Reginana and Badia La Passignano are two incredible, but tricky to find, nearby restaurants. Much better than the standard tourist fare in the larger towns.
