is famous for its magnificent Tuscan
villas,
some of them dating back to the Renaissance. Many remain in
private hands, others are now museums and institutes, and a few
have been converted into hotels that preserve not only the
structure but also some of the ambience of life in a great country
house. Here we present two of the most attractive villa hotels
in Tuscany, both in central Chianti within easy reach of
Florence and Siena.

Hotel
Villa Le Barone near Panzano in Chianti
Villa
Le Barone was built in the middle ages on the remains of a
Roman fort as a baronial defence tower in Tuscany, hence the name "Le Barone".
During the 16 C, it was bought by the Florentine della Robbia family of
ceramicists and was restored after the First World War by Marchesa Maria Bianca Viviani della Robbia,
first as a Tuscan wine estate and later as a hotel. Great care has been taken to retain the character of a private
residence with cheerful bedrooms and sitting rooms, antique furniture, paintings, books and family heirlooms.
Villa Le Barone offers 28 individually decorated rooms. There is
a
swimming pool and tennis court, as well as the guests'
restaurant, a television lounge and terraces with panoramic
views. More about
