out onto the skyline of Siena in the distance, standing
on a hill with a pleasing view onto the surrounding
hills, the Villa Pantanino is a perfect location for sophisticated
art and country travellers. Especially larger parties
(10 - 14 persons) will enjoy this wonderful place, which
leaves enough room for manifold interests.

The drive to Villa Pantanino is already an experience. Taking
the road from Siena towards the castle of Belcaro, the
elegant urban architecture slowly gives way to a typically
Tuscan landscape of gentle hills covered in vineyards
and olive groves.
Once arrived at your destination you
enter the protected garden of Pantanino, surrounded
by a 1000 olive trees.
The number of striking particularities
of Il Pantanino are such, that one is uncertain about
which to cite first.
Is it the spectacular location, only 5 kms from Siena,
surrounded by olive groves, cypress trees and a couple
of other famous villas in the distance, with breathtaking
views onto the skyline of Siena, where the Palio takes
itīs yearly turn?
Or is it the light and spacious dimension of the rooms?
One meets in the librabry with fireplace, the kitchen
with fireplace, the living room or the breakfast room.
French windows open up onto the lawn with magnificent
lemon trees in antique terracotta pots.

Or is it the gentle spirit of time passed which casts
serenity over Villa Pantanino, an atmosphere which the
owners knowledgeably rescued while thoroughly refurbishing
the house in 2002? (new kitchen and bathrooms, electric
wiring and central heating, etc.)
Art lovers will be exposed to an illimited
choice of interesting excurtions. Siena above all, but
also a number of historical gardens, medieval country
churches and Renaissance villas are to be found in the
nearest vicinity.
The lemon trees fill the garden of Villa Pantanino with
their fragrance throughout the summer months
Food lovers will no doubt succumb to the sophisticated
simplicity of Tuscan cuisine, highlighted by the olive
oil produced on the Pantanino estate and the wines of
the neighbouring properties.
And for those who need to excersize: 3 tennis courts
are in less than a 10 minutes drive.
The house Pantanino can be rented with 5 or 7 bedrooms. The rent
includes 2 hours household help per day.
