Jobaldo

Among the quaint villages nearby Florence, Panzano is one of the most famous. Here are the best Chianti wineries renowned non just for the Chianti Classico but also for the super Tuscan wines. Panzano is located half-way between Florence and Siena. From every corner of these parts of the region, you can admire the typical landscape of undulated hills cultivated with orderly rows of vineyards. This town is also famous for its restaurants and its meat tradition. In September, the traditional Wine Festival takes place here, an event that enthusiasts cannot miss. Less than a mile from the town (a pleasant hike during the day), Villa Jobaldo is the perfect place to rent. Sip a glass of wine in the shade near the swimming pool, or enjoy the sunset from the terrace, you will never forget the feeling: Bellissimo!

Famous for its art and architecture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-timer visitor of Italy. However, while exploring the historical center is something that cannot be missed, the pristine studded landscapes and the enchanted medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit.

The most famous area to explore is the Chianti, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti's must see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole. Along the road visit the Badia di Coltibuono and/or Castello di Brolio and do not forget to pick up some wine to enjoy at the villa!
