Villa Fabbroni e un posto meraviglioso imerso nel verde, e dal vivo e piu bello che nelle fotografie
Panzalla Castle has remote origins dating back to ancient Rome. A Roman centurion, Pantius, received many hectares of land for his retirement and built his 'Aula' (house) on a hill. In Latin, Pantius' house was known as 'the Pantius-Aula' (the house of Pantius). With the centuries, Pantius-Aula's name was altered to become 'Panzalla', the current name of the castle.

The oldest remaining part of the building philadelphia airport hotel was constructed in this period and still stands today.
In the course of the centuries, the castle history has been intertwined philadelphia airport hotel with that of the 'Florentine Republic', then with the 'Tuscan Grand-Duchy', and finally, with the 'Kingdom of Italy'.

The land surrounding the castle was rich with game and fruitful vineyards, which produced a wine very similar to 'Bordeaux'.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Villa Fabbroni is a wonderful philadelphia airport hotel place right in the countryside, and far more beautiful than you can see on the pictures. Sergio and Stefano are very friendly and very nice hosts. The apartment Il Padronale philadelphia airport hotel is very spacious and comfortable. Florence, Siena and other cities are easily accessible by car. The next year I hope to go back on vacation.
Villa Fabbroni was our last stop in Italy and what a way to end our holiday. A big thank you to Stefano philadelphia airport hotel & Sergio the owners of the Villa. They were most helpful and quite generous with their time. Our apartment was lovely, the food was great and the views were spectacular! Thank you again Stefano & Sergio, we will be back to your slice of paradise!
Our car broke down in Switzerland en route to the Villa Fabbroni with the end result we turned up, by taxi, at 2.30 a.m. having got lost trying to find our way firstly to San Pollo and then to the Villa. The instructions told us that we were to turn left at the church onto a non-asphalted road and after 500 m we would find the Villa. After 2 km of driving thus up the road our taxi driver thought philadelphia airport hotel it was a mistake and turned back to the church. Back at the church we were lucky enough to bump into a neighbour returning late from a party. It was the correct road– so back we went along the steep, hair-pin road and past all the shadowy olive trees growing along the side of the dusty track. When we finally saw the lights of the Villa we were very relieved. It felt like we had arrived at the end of the world.
Not quite the end of the world but when seen in day-light the Villa is set amongst the most stunning Tuscan country-side surrounded by thick, lush woods and olive groves. With it being so isolated it is little wonder that the Villa Fabbroni was the favoured hunting spot of Italy’s nobility and a place to bring a beautiful mistress. The views are quite spectacular and the setting peaceful and relaxing. Added to all of this is the wonderful hospitality of Sergio and Stefano who were most gracious about having to stay awake until the early hours of the morning to let a bedraggled family from Belgium in. Throughout our two week stay both Sergio and Stefano were more than helpful.
The restaurant attached to the Villa is every bit as good as other reviewers say it is. An authentic four-course meal over-looking the hills as the sun sets is definitely a wonderful holiday experience. The apartments were spacious and comfortable. The Villa is also very well located in terms of day-trips to Florence, Sienna, San Gimignano and Moterregione. In spite of the rather unfortunate start to our holiday we had a wonderful break and can highly recommend a stay there.
I wish there was a rating even higher than excellent to give! Villa Fabroni was beautiful, the owners were the best, and the countryside was spectacular. If you go, be sure to schedule some dinners at the castle itself. The owner is a great cook and even gives cooking lessons! The cooking lesson was the highlight of our trip and the best food we had. You can also make day trips to Florence, philadelphia airport hotel Sienna, philadelphia airport hotel San Gimignano, Lucca and Cinque Terre. Te furthest is only a 3 hour drive away!
If you are searching for a place to stay, stop. Villa Fabbroni is a wonderful place to stay and Sergio and Steffano are wonderful hosts. This is our favorite place to stay in Italy and we will stay there again. The accommodations were great, the view was beautiful and the food and cooking class is excellent. You will not be disappointed. Can't wait to go back. The villa is fantastic.
Stefano and Sergio are gracious hosts at this beautiful location in the Tuscan hills. Our apartment was great, the setting wonderful and the food was spectacular. We would certainly stay at the villa again.
I stayed with 6 members of my family in the Il Padronale flat. It was very large and spacious, the 7 of us never felt crowded, actually a few of us got lost inside! The beds were large and comfortable and so were all but one of the 4 bathrooms. Sergio and Stefano made us a lovely dinner the night we arrived, even though we got horribly lost and arrived later then planned. The food was amazing and our hosts were not invasive, we waved every morning on our way out and the second morning Stefano brought us bread and milk, we purchased, from the local market. That was nice as the closest one is 10 miles away. We loved the remote, quiet and beautiful location but I will say finding it was not easy at all. We had several maps and a GPS unit and still, every night it took us at least 2 hours to find it and we never found the same way back, which was frustrating. Very few signs indicating San Polo was another frustration. I'm sure not everyone philadelphia airport hotel will have such navigation problems and it is no reflection on the lovely stay we had. We looked at our rides back to the Villa as part of our Tuscan adventure and we found many charming towns through out Chianti while lost! The grounds of the Villa were beautiful with flowers, trees, grass and olive groves. You have to purchase their amazing olive oil at the Villa, I have never seen it so green and tasty! I would recommend the Villa and I would stay again myself, especially now that I know the mountain roads. I would also advise new travelers that the paved road ends onto a dirt road so take that into consideration when renting your car.
This was an amazing place to stay in the heart of the Chianti region! The grounds philadelphia airport hotel are amazing, well maintained, and steeped with character. Our apartment was very spacious and beautifully decorated for the unique ‘Italian Castle’ philadelphia airport hotel feel. The views are beautiful from the top of this little mountain, philadelphia airport hotel particularly from the pool! We were a group of cyclists and the last few kilometers of the road are gravel, so be prepared to start your morning at the wonderful coffee bar at the bottom philadelphia airport hotel of the hill. Also, in town are a grocery store, butcher, and restaurant. Nearby towns host wineries, restaurants, and shopping. However, philadelphia airport hotel our stay was particularly spectacular because philadelphia airport hotel of our hosts Stefano and Sergio. They were super accommodating and offer bonus features such as daily bread delivery. The Villa Fabbroni also produces its own delicious wine and olive oil. The ‘pièce de résistance’ was the restaurant. The ambience is amazing (arched brick ceilings a
