Panzanello winery & vineyard residence in Tuscany (Italy)

Living in Europe for so many years and having never visited the Chianti region in Italy… What a waist of time! I keep asking myself “Why did I not do it before?”

The people, weather, vegetation and landscape are great! I have only seen it before from my painting books and postcards.

For us living in the south of Germany it takes us two days to be there in a comfortable way. After driving from Baden-Württemberg for 7 hours, we reached Verona, where we stayed two nights.

Then we headed down to the Chianti region. Unfortunately, something went wrong with the booking though an Internet platform and in our first stay, we could not be at Panzanello. However, one week later we managed to be there.

At Panzanello vacation residences, you can have the very best of indoor as well as outdoor living that this region can offer with warm-hearted owners. Ioletta and Andrea are the owners and they organize dinners for their guests to get to know each other and the regional food and off course to taste the Panzanello’s great wine. Ioletta and Andrea are also very good advisors in what to see and can also help you with tips in what to see and visit in the region.

Therefore, if you want to stay in a peaceful place, get inspired to take photos, write a book or simply enjoy the Chianti region I really recommend a stay at Panzanello’s vacation apartments.

‘Ciao’ and ‘che vediamo’ until next summer my dear Ioletta and Andrea!
