Villa Faneschi belongs to a young winery in Chianti producing a fabulous Super Tuscan recently mentioned on the gourmet food and wine channel ‘Gambero Rosso’ for its quality and the beauty of the estate itself.

The Villa offers its guests 2 independent luxury apartment rentals in a converted barn on top of the historical hamlet of Pianella. The barn, originally part of a larger estate comprising thousands of hectares of land and buildings is now a private residence overlooking the vineyard to one side and the beautiful panorama of the Chianti Region, its rolling hills dotted by olive groves and lined by vineyards to the other.

The careful conversion of the barn, designed by a Sienese architect was carried out maintaining the simple traditional exterior structure of Tuscan barns whilst making the interiors very elegant, with astonishing design elements which are a true delight for the appreciative and the connoisseur. Comfort, ecology and beauty are the underlying motives of the house.
