La Pensione di Vignamaggio
Notation:
About 9 kilometres from Vignamaggio, in the town square of Panzano in Chianti, we find La Pensione di Vignamaggio. This historical estate, dating back to the 1500s, embraces a magnificent courtyard with a view of the gardens and olive groves surrounding the town. Soft colours, relaxed lines and linear furnishing characterise La Pension's 19 rooms: each room uniquely depicts one of Bocaccio's love stories in a harmonious interplay of colours and graphic elements. Its position in Panzano makes it a perfect base for anyone wanting to explore the Chianti region. THE GARDENS AND OLIVE GROVES The gardens at La Pensione surround the internal courtyard, where breakfast is served in the mornings. Follow a stone path through the garden, among rosemary shrubs, roses bushes and jasmine, to the olive grove. Here your gaze may wander off towards the hills. In amongst these Chianti hills, you'll notice the Vignamaggio and Vitigliano villas dominating the valley. RELAXATION As you venture through the terraces that make up the garden, you will soon discover La Pensione's private swimming pool, where you can have a swim or relax in the sun. The pool area is a quiet and peaceful oasis immersed in greenery and with a panoramic view of the hills. EXPERIENCE PANZANO Panzano is a lively and picturesque town in the heart of the Chianti, well known for her renowned restaurants and her famous butcher, Dario Cecchini, who has become a real institution in the town. The artisan boutiques, cellars and the organic wine estates surrounding the town will enchant you and leave you with precious memories of the area.
