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 halfway 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!

The elegant interiors are decorated with great taste using a neutral muted palette as a stage for the beautiful furniture and objets d’art. Expensive and prestigious materials, combined with artisanal craftsmanship, create a soothing and inviting space. The eclectic style of the house is sophisticated but never uptight. The ground floor features a generous open space divided by arches where the seating area with a fireplace, a dining area, and a fully contemporary equipped kitchen share the bright floor. Stunning endless views of the typical Tuscan landscape can be enjoyed from every window. This space opens onto a furnished patio, ideal for alfresco meals. A guest bathroom is also available on this floor.

The villa offers spectacular views of the typical landscape from almost every angle. The generous panoramic terrace features a large table where to dine and a shaded lounge area where to relax. The private swimming pool is positioned on a manicured lawn and the sun deck is furnished with comfortable seating.

Villa Jobaldo is one of the villas inside the Panzano Estate. The 20-acre estate consists of three villas that can be rented together or separately, each with private outdoor space and a pool. The three villas, together with Fleda and Erinda, are strategically positioned and designed to guarantee the guests’ privacy.

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!
