Most of the vacation rentals in Tuscany that are described as Tuscan vacation villas are in fact not villas at all but rather Tuscan farmhouses. A genuine villa accommodates more than just a small family – that’s the easiest way to distinguish between these two classes of holiday home.
Podere Felceto, once a monastery, is now a classic Tuscan villa to rent near Panzano in Chianti in the centre of the Chianti Classico wine zone. The villa is situated amidst olive groves and vineyards, overlooking the valley of the River Pesa, about 45 minutes drive south of Florence and the same distance north of Sienna.
