Very rustic experience. Loved the balcony, the views and the town. Comfy apartment. Plumbing needs work! Leaky faucets, boiler inconsistencies, oven not working but the charm of the place still won out. Lots of mosquitoes and with the lack of window screens,we were eaten alive at night! This was in mid October. Bring bug spray!Tuscalinda was marvelous. Very helpful.

Panzano- Our Happy Place

This was our third time staying in this castle apartment. It’s a lovely little piece of heaven. We love everything about it. The views are simply spectacular! We love the kitchen and prepared several meals while there. The location is great and the town is so very cute. There are great restaurants all around and it’s an easy drive to lots of other little towns, restaurants, and shops and wineries. We like going to the market day in the Piazza and to the Coop for little bits of groceries. It’s all just perfect. Don’t tell many people though…..let them all stay in Florence and Sienna and keep this place our little secret!

Stunning views in every direction

Who wouldn't want to spend a few nights in a castle? We had a terrific time and enjoyed the quiet, cool evening breezes, and the views we could see, even from the bathroom window. If you are unable to carry your suitcases up the stairs or have difficulty navigating hills, this property may be a challenge. However, we are in our 70's and we're able to do it. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Beautiful Tuscan Views

The lady that met us at check in was very sweet and informative. The views were stunning. Of course to get those views they are at the top of a hill and up stairs. Be ready to drag your luggage up a steep slope and a flight of stairs if you are lucky enough to be able to park by the castle for a few minutes. Otherwise its even more up hill. It's worth it though!! One of my favorite places in Italy so far!!!

Great Place to Stay

My husband and I had a wonderful week staying here. It is spacious and comfortable, with the best view from the balcony that you will find. It is a great location from which to make day trips in Chianti or just to chill in Panzano. It really made our week special and we highly recommend this property.

Amazing Tuscany Experience

My wife and I stayed here in the castle, in Panzano, in Tuscany, for just 3 days. I was very sad to leave. The property is well maintained but has that rustic castle experience. The views from the balcony are the absolute best. Sunsets from the balcony will be a memory I’ll never forget. Panzano and nearby Greve are all you need for an amazing experience in Tuscany. I hope to visit again!

Fabulous stay in an apartment in a castle!!

We really enjoyed our stay in this castle in Panzano in Chianti! Such a quaint little town and the views from the apartment are amazing! We really enjoyed wine tasting in Volpaia. The girls at Enoteca Baldi were so sweet and really helped us to get oriented. We had enjoyed some snacks and drinks on the terrace at II vinaio. It was open all day which was convenient while we got used to the culture and time change. Michiel and Toscalinda were both very helpful and accommodating. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Under the Tuscan Sky

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the castle apartment in Panzano in Chianti. It was clean, modern - in a well preserved historic way, and in a charming little town in the heart of Chianti. Michiel and his housekeeper were excellent hosts. The unit was well outfitted with everything we needed. Quaint little Ristorantes in town were within walking distance, and the views from the balconies at sunrise and sunset were themselves worth the price of admission. Malto Bravo.

This is one of the best places we've ever stayed at

I can't say enough good things about our stay in Panzano. The castle was everything we could have hoped it would be. It's in the perfect location right in the center of the historical part of town. It's within walking distance to everything. And while we loved going out to visit the local dinner spots, the views were spectacular at the castle that we enjoyed simply cooking and eating in, having our super on the balcony overlooking the view of the hills beyond. Michiel was the perfect host. We kept adding additional days to our stay as we enjoyed it so much and he was excellent with communication and adjustments to our schedule. The next time we are in Tuscany we hope to stay at the castle again!

Wonderful,comfortable apartment

Our two-week stay at the apartment was everything we could have hoped for. The rooms are generous-sized, light-filled,comfortably and tastefully furnished. There are two balconies with magnificent views. Unfortunately the walls are high, and the views disappear when one is sitting down. This could easily be corrected by the owner by . replacing the existing furniture with comfortable, high bar chairs and an elevated table. While the location is convenient, it is not suitable for those who have difficulty walking up a steep hill or climbing stairs. Toscalinda contributed to the quality of our stay. It was a treat.

Loved it!

What an amazing place.I felt like I was in the 15th century. I echo what other reviewers have said, so won't repeat, but have just a couple of things to add. There is a very handy city bus to Florence from the main square in Panzano. It cost less than 4 Euro a ticket and got us to the centre of Florence in an hour. Buy your tickets at the bar in the main square, and save the hassle of driving and parking in Florence. Also, we had problems finding the place too. This is what we would add to the directions. Go up the hill to the church. Turn left at the church. Take your first right. (There is a traffic mirror and a couple of road signs there). Go down that street. Just after you pass house number 29 on your left, take a steep right turn up a private driveway. ( Toscalinda told us we could unload our luggage there). Go through the archway and see the courtyard on your right. Number 17 is tucked into the far corner. Once your luggage is unloaded, go back down the drive, turn right, and park along the castle wall on the left side of the road. We loved the restaurants Michiel recommends in his info package and also the two towns he suggested seeing. We would add Castellena as one of our favourites. Finally, take mosquito repellent to spray on your legs and ankles when you are eating at outdoor restaurants and you'll be set. I will recommend this place to my friends. Nit is by far and away the most unique rental I have ever experienced.

Great get-away!

This property was amazing - just the right combination of rustic and modern. Kitchen was great for cooking and the views from every direction can't be described adequately (even with the pictures posted). The only suggestions we have would be to change the shower curtain and have clearer directions about the garbage. We would rent this property again without hesitation - and we hope to visit there again!
