My husband and I rent Janine’s house in last September after a long trip from Canada. When we arrived in the area, Janine was able to guide us over the cell phone while we were driving in the dark on those spectacular and narrow Italian roads! We finally arrived and Janine explained everything to us about the house very rapidly so we can go to bed and have a good night of sleep. We were so tired! Janine brought some food to us for the breakfast, because we didn’t have time to buy anything. We were so happy!
When we woke up, we discovered this amazing house, the garden, the pool, the breathtaking view, the flowers everywhere, the grapes, the fig trees, and everything! We were walking around the house again and again and we were so happy to be in such a wonderful place! A very nice table was available to have lunch or dinner outside near the kitchen, and another place was available in front of the house near the lavender plants to take the afternoon apero...it was lovely! And what to say about the inside of the house? The kitchen was very nice, complete and functional, the lounge was so lovely and inspiring, the room was very comfortable, everything was clean, we had hot water in the bathroom to take showers and ample place to hang clothes. We were only two persons in the house, but it was spacious enough to bring the family!
Janine gave us very good advice about what to do, where to go, what to visit and where to buy good food during our stay. The location of this house was perfect because it was in the middle of Chianti Classic and about 1 hour or less in driving to visit all the wonderful and old villages of Tuscany! We visited almost all of them during our stay and we were able to go back home at night and to relax with good food we prepared and wine. The house is right in the middle of Florence and Sienna but not located nearby tourist stores. It is in a quiet country side to only about 15 minutes walking from Panzano. During the day, we were always in touristic places, so at night, it was so nice to be in this quiet environment! My children would have loved to be with us in this place because there was enough space to move, to run outside, to swim and to discover everything around.
We spent a wonderful time in this romantic and quiet home and I would recommend it to everybody I know who is looking for tranquillity, liberty, nice view and space. Thank you again Janine for the great time we had in your home!
