Developed in Italy, this model revitalizes once-abandoned villages by blending comfort with local tradition in a truly immersive experience- in fact the "borgo" is a shared community between locals that live here permanently, and travelers that was born in the late 1980's.

Before your stay, we’ll coordinate with you to plan any extra services or personalized experiences, so everything is ready and tailored to your needs before you arrive.
Simona, the soul of this place, will welcome you into her world: her home, her kitchen, around her table, or walking through the vegetable garden — the orto. On the plate, a cuisine that arises spontaneously: the garden decides the menu, and we simply follow its lead.
Together, we can plan special dinners in the garden or by the pool, enjoy breakfast on the terrace or your private patio, and explore much more — from local farmers’ markets and tastings to our favorite go-to places in the area.
Available experiences include:
-Harvesting ingredients directly from the garden and discovering the joy of simple, farm-to-table cooking
-Themed culinary workshops (vegetarian, pastry-making, regional cuisine)
-Activities that immerse you in the natural beauty, culture, and traditions of the area

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Chianni, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Panorama is an extraordinary vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with contemporary comfort and ecological sensitivity. Born from the careful restoration of an eighteenth-century farmhouse, this magnificent property has been brought back to life through a meticulous design process that honors the finest traditions of Tuscan architecture while embracing the principles of green building and eco-sustainability. The result is a residence of rare excellence, where open-face stone walls, vaulted ceilings with terracotta tiles and iron girders, and fine natural terracotta floors coexist harmoniously with luxurious, modern furnishings inspired by refined modernity and country chic elegance. Every corner of the house has been enriched with fine decorative details, pastel-toned walls, and simple yet sophisticated furnishings that create a warm and deeply hospitable atmosphere. The property is surrounded by approximately 30 hectares of land, divided between a productive olive grove and a dense wooded area of oaks and holm oaks, offering guests an immersive connection with the Tuscan countryside. The fully fenced park of approximately 3 hectares is equipped with an alarm system and features lush lawns bordered by aromatic bushes, fruit trees, and olive trees. Guests benefit from a high-speed wireless internet connection throughout the property, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
