About the home

The villa was originally built in 1718, next to a medieval inn, when Colombino Bassi, Bishop of Pistoia and Prato, decided to set a country home for his summer retreat and to rest during his visits to the area’s parishes (as testified by a Latin stone engrave in the living-room).

Such a strong historic context, coupled with its location in a lush valley, along the banks of the river Reno, makes of Villa “Le Panche” a charming destination. The villa stands right between the medieval town of Pistoia (very well connected with highway and railway to the other tourist destinations of Tuscany) and the Apennine Mountains, so that our villa may be an ideal base for tourists interested in visiting the famous art cities as well as for nature lovers, aiming to discover the Apennines' beautiful landscapes in all seasons.

The Villa has been renovated in 2008. It offers wide common areas and all modern comforts. It is provided of a fitness room with sauna, jacuzzi and gym equipment.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Villa Le Panche has been recently refurbished and it is now a very comfortable mansion with wide common areas (two wide living rooms, a 16 place dining and a cosy kitchen), 5 double bedrooms en-suite (plus a sixth supplementary twin without bathroom) and an indoor fitness area with a 4 place sauna and a 7 place hydro massage.

This makes our property very enjoyable even in the snowy winter days or whenever the swimming pool is not available.

Further details outdoors:
Outside the Villa our guests can enjoy the heated swimming pool, relax in a 2000sq.m private garden with apple and maple trees and walk along the shady banks of the Reno River.

Villa Le Panche is in fact located in a very green area, at a distance of 35 minutes by car from Florence and just 15 minutes from downtown Pistoia.

For those who are interested in visiting Tuscany's art cities or the beaches of Versilia, Pistoia stands in a central position and is very well connected via highway and railway with all potential destinations.

During the winter season Villa Le Panche can be an ideal starting point for the ski tracks of Abetone (30 min, by car), Central Italy's most famous ski area.

Further details

Swimming pool only available from early May to late September.

Ski season at Abetone goes from December to April.

English-speaking representative on hand to answer any questions.

The garden is private for our guests and completely fenced for the safeness of their children.

The Tuscany / Pistoia Province region

Tuscany is certainly one of the best known among the Italian regions. It is the land of the Renaissance's capital city, Florence, as well as of many other beautiful medieval towns and villages. It is worldwide famous for the beautiful sweet hills and for the excellence of its wines and food products.

All the different areas of Tuscany represent a world to discover for their natural peculiarities, for the widespread architectural wealth, for the gastronomic traditions and the many folkloric and cultural events.

The Pistoia area

Visitors to the Pistoia Apennines can enjoy its well preserved natural environment and breathtaking views. So it was for the iconic actor and philanthropist Paul Newman who chose to locate in this area, in a WWF oasis, its Dynamo Camp, a center of recreational therapy for children with serious illnesses.
The area is a perfect destination for those who love all kinds of outdoor sports: the mountains are rich with trails for walking, mountain biking or horseback riding, as well as rivers and lakes for fishing. During the summer, the Pistoia Mountains offer a rich program of cultural and recreational events such as music and folklore festivals, gastronomic fairs and medieval reenactments.

Located 20 minutes from Florence and Lucca, Pistoia also has much to offer in terms of history, art, monuments, traditions, nature and cuisine. Walking through the picturesque streets of its historic center, visitors will find many good restaurants that offer authentic dishes of the Tuscan tradition, as well as local wines, at fair prices. Pistoia also offers one of the major zoological gardens in Italy.
To visit, nearby, Vinci with the Leonardian museum, Montecatini with its thermal baths, the medieval villages of Valdinievole including Collodi, the town of Pinocchio.

During the winter season, our area offers modern downhill and cross-country ski facilities. With over 80 kms of Alpine ski slopes, Abetone is the most important winter resort in Central Italy. Cross-country tracks are located at 15 minute drive from our villa, while downhill slopes can be reached in 30 minutes.

All main facilities (shops, supermarkets, banks with ATM, post offices, pharmacies, hospital) are very closely located (between 1 and 10 km from the property).

Guestbook for Villa Le Panche

"A beautiful house with nice garden and outdoor pool. Clean, spacious rooms, all the amenities someone could wish for. Jacuzzi was a hit for children, since the weather was a bit cool. The owners are very friendly and helpful."
Ms. P. Zupan (23rd April - 1st May 2011)

"Fabulous Vacation! The Villa is AMAZING and we cannot wait to go back!
Upon arrival Nedo and Davide met us at the Villa, gave us a tour, lists of info on groceries and restaurants, and some valuable sight-seeing advice!
From this superb location we were able to visit Pisa, Cinque Terra, Florence, Siena, Volterra (Twilight Fans!!!), Pistoia, and Lucca......and we still enjoyed three full days of lounging by the pool!
We shared the Villa with friends so in total there were 9 of us! The 5 kids (ages 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10) loved the jacuzzi, sauna, swimming and catching tadpoles in the babbling brook!
The house is wonderfully quiet at night with light blocking shutters and the "thick" tuscan walls kept it cool and soundproof! So those of us that wanted to sleep-in were in heaven!!
In the nearby town of Maresca was a Coop grocery with a great butcher counter and deli for those days we stayed in to grill and enjoy the tastes of Italia!
We cannot wait to go back!!!!!"
Family Navarro (June 26th - July 3rd, 2010)

"Just come back from a fantastic week at Villa Le Panche (May 29th-June 5th, 2010)
Thanks to Davide and Nedo who gave us a wonderful warm welcome on arrival, followed by a tour of the villa and lots of information on the surrounding area and were always available for any further questions.
The villa itself is beautifully decorated, all the bedrooms are a good size as are the pool and jacuzzi, which the kids loved.
Villa Le Panche is ideally situated to explore Northern Tuscany, only 30 minutes from Lucca and 40 from Florence. Pony trekking 15 minutes away is a wonderful way to get closer to the incredibly green valleys of the Apennines and great fun.
I would definitely recommend Villa Le Panche and there's even a new restaurant next door if you don't fancy cooking one night! Perfect."
Clare Dobson

"Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve en profitant bien sûr de la piscine, de la salle de fitness, du jacuzzi, du sauna etc…..rien ne manquait pour passer des vacances idylliques et occuper nos ados.
Nos dîners sous la tonnelle et nos soirées barbecue ont apporté un petit côté romantique à notre séjour. La décoration de la maison ainsi que l’ensemble du matériel mis à disposition ont été pensés avec soin.
Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse des proprietaires qui anticipaient avec beaucoup de générosité et d’attention tous nos besoins."
Mrs. Pascale R. (15-22 Aout 2009)
