Renter: Barbara P. (Brisbane, Australia).

Renter Rating: 4/5.

Despite having no living area this apartment was quite good for 6 adults who each had a two seater car. The cars could be parked off street and the bus to central Florence is outside the front gate. The apartment was not as clean as one would expect. It looked rather grubby with cobwebs in places. The dishwasher had not been unpacked and there was food in the bottom of the dishwasher so maybe it had not even been through a cycle. The kitchen is rather small making it difficult for two people to be in the room to prepare a meal. We had problems with the electricity failing a number of times and not being able to reset the circuit as the switchboard for the apartment was located in the other apartment on the same level. The hot water also failed one night. The property managers/agents, Sylvia and Thommaso were very helpful by attending promptly to fix any problem but it was inconvenient to have to contact them all the time.

We had a great time at La Chiantigiana. Maria, the owner was very friendly, but does not know much English. She even did our laundry for us. The view of the surrounding country side and town of Panzano is beautiful including stunning sunsets. The villa is very clean, spacious and the interior of the apartments look new. Wifi access is very limited. The Panzano Sunday morning market was worth visiting for groceries and inexpensive gifts. Bicycles & scooters can be rented in Greve. The villa is located on the main road (not a freeway) connecting Florance and Sienna, approximately a kilometer south of Panzano. It is not well marked to see at 50 kph. Don't rely on there being any condiments in the apartments.

Renter: James C. (Erie, CO, United States).

Renter Rating: 4/5.

This property should not be advertised as a villa. It is an apartment with four bedrooms. Only one set of windows look out at the countryside.. There is no lounging area. One must sit at the kitchen table to read or converse. There are virtually no supplies. The renter must furnish everything including salt and pepper and toilet paper.The Wi-Fi is available only in the back bedroom.The electricity went off twice because of a circuit-breaker problem.
The owners tried to have it fixed after the first time, but it failed again.The owners are very nice, but speak very little English.
If one wants a convenient place for travel, it is well situated to visit the countryside. It is not a place where one would want to "hang out."
