About The Experience

This family-friendly apartment is located in the Chianti on a large estate that produces its own wine. The Tuscany estate is surrounded by olive groves, rolling hills, and vineyards that create a peaceful atmosphere. You and your group can take day trips throughout the Chianti to such charming towns as Panzano, Castellina, Gaiole and Greve, as well as to the art cities of Florence and Siena. Or you can simply relax by the pool!

Location Description

The property is located four kilometers from Panzano, a charming village that began as a medieval castle but is now home to shops and restaurants, among which is the butcher shop and restaurant run by the famous Dario Cecchini. A morning market is held every Sunday where you’ll be able to get flowers, vegetables, fruit, meet, and cheese. The “Vino al Vino” wine festival is held in September while the “Festa della Stagion Buona” begins in late April where the people of Panzano dress up in medieval costumes and put on live performances. For a fun day trip with wine tasting, visit Greve, which is the unofficial wine capital of Chianti. This medieval town is believed to have been settled before the Etruscans and the Romans dominated the area. Each September, Greve hosts the biggest wine festival in the region. It’s also famous for its arcaded Piazza Mercatale that has a statue of the 16th century explorer Verrazzano in the center. Other day trips can include Florence and Siena.

Customer Reviews

Overall:
The property was great, the views were amazing and the location was quiet and serene. The bedrooms were good and the bathrooms were adequate and quite new. The pool area was nice but we were there in mid May so did not use it that much.
Enjoyed Most:
The views, outside dining area and the check-in/check-out were great.
Enjoyed Least:
The kitchen is not adequately equipped for cooking at home (beyond breakfast and snacks).
Surrounding Area:
Everything! Beautiful area. The town of Panzano was great and had really amazing restaurants. They have a market on Sunday morning with great produce. We toured vineyards and hiked from Panzano to Greve. That was fun! We went to Assisi; it is 2 hours away but a beautiful place. Siena, Florence are very close.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Panzano. We never walked it; I think it might be doable but the road is narrow and we just didn't have time.
Tips or Restaurants:
Don't expect a well equipped kitchen; we ate out most of the time so it was OK for breakfast and snacks. There are many steps at the property, so it might not be the best choice for someone with mobility issues.
Directions:
We used a GPS and had no issues with finding the property.
Check In Out:
Check In and Check Out were great!

Overall:
It was wonderful. As this was our second time we knew that it would be the perfect ending to our vacation.
Enjoyed Most:
The view, the accommodations.
Surrounding Area:
Yes, we had a car, which is really necessary if you want to explore all that Tuscany has to offer.
Nearby Events or Locales:
It was about 2 miles, but we did not walk it.
Tips or Restaurants:
The only thing that renters need to know is that they should bring some groceries for at least the first day or two. Everything else is there, even a regular coffee pot. We had dinner at the Steak House behind the Butcher Shop, which was a fun experience.
Directions:
A GPS is essential.
Check In Out:
Seamless.Tthe property manager is great.

Overall:
This was our second stay at Piccola Torre 3. We thourghly enjoyed every bit of it and probably will go back again. The views are incredible.
Enjoyed Most:
The views of the olive gardens and the vineyards are stunning. We would come back from a long day out and pour ourselves a glass of wine and sit by the pool to relax before getting ready for dinner.
Enjoyed Least:
I would say that the kitchen is quite small, but we were able to utilize the large kitchen table to prepare food. Overall it was a minor issue.
Surrounding Area:
The surrounding countryside with its many rolling hills of vineyards and olive groves was magnificent. Panzano was charming with great restaurants. Enjoyed the market on Sunday with all the fresh veg and fruits. There is so much to enjoy.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Panzano, which is approximately 2.5 miles from the villa. It's a great hike if you enjoy hiking. We drove.
Tips or Restaurants:
I would suggest that you purchase toilet paper. They supply each bathroom with some but not enough for seven days with four people. There are may great restaurants--just follow your nose.
Directions:
We used a GPS. It worked well.
Check In Out:
Checking in and out was extremely easy. Titi was very kind and pleasant. The overall experience was wonderful and looking forward to going back.
