    La Panoramica - Chianti

    Accommodates 11 - 6 bedrooms - 4 baths
    Swimming Pool - Housekeeping - Satellite TV - Hi-Speed Wireless Internet

    La Panoramica is a rarity: a fully free-standing country villa located at the very highest point in the village of Impruneta, just 20 minutes south of Florence. The villa makes an ideal base from which to visit both the city of Florence and everything in the Tuscan countryside. Access to both autostrada and back roads is excellent. Impruneta, a significant and interesting town in itself, offers all necessities: groceries, bank, post office, coffee bars, restaurants. You definitely don't need to go into Florence for any of the basics.

    Can you walk into town? Yes, you can. The main piazza of Impruneta, with coffee bars, shops, and, most important, the frequent bus for Florence, lies just about a mile down from La Panoramica. One of the first things you come to in fact is a big Coop supermarket. But you must take into consideration that the return up to the house is indeed UP, not particularly steep, but a very steady rise.

    La Panoramica was furnished for its owners and therefore has the genuine feel of somebody's own home. There are two principal levels. On the lower you'll find an informal sitting room; a beautiful dining room lined with windows to take maximum advantage of the views; a homey well-equipped kitchen; an immediately adjacent bedroom with divisible matrimonial bed; and a newly remodeled bathroom with shower. Upstairs is an entry hall leading into a very generously proportioned double living room with satellite TV and decorative fireplace. Off a hallway are two matrimonial and two twin bedrooms, which share two hall baths, one with shower over tub, the other with shower only. Bedrooms are comfortably but quite simply furnished, and NOT large. The matrimonial bedrooms are slightly larger than the twins. Upstairs, in the tower, is a pleasant air-conditioned single bedroom, with its own bath (shower only). Washing machine, dishwasher, telephone, satellite TV, and shortly, we hope, a separate high-speed internet connection.

    The grounds are delightful, and the views magnificent, encompassing both the surrounding hills and Florence itself in the distance. Up a small hill behind the villa you'll find the property's private swimming pool. The whole effect is one of privacy and seclusion, yet incredibly easy accessibility to all the sights.

    The ideal group for La Panoramica is one extended family or two small families traveling together. Multiple couples or a group of single friends can also be made to work, but there's some bathroom sharing to be considered.

    We love La Panoramica and highly recommend it for your consideration.
