About this property
Large apartment on organic olive oil farm in rural Chianti with amazing views
La Terrazza ( is a lovely 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment on the ground floor at Podere Patrignone. It sleeps 4-6 people.
It’s believed to be the oldest building here at Patrignone, well over 600 years old! It still has some of the original ceiling beams – imagine what they’ve seen! It’s a large, cool apartment, with a big fully-equipped kitchen-dining-living room, two large double bedrooms with king-size beds, and full bathrooms with shower cubicles.
A sunken terrace (that gives this apartment its name) is your own private outdoor dining area, filled with terracotta pots and climbing honeysuckle.
The accommodation is quite flexible. The 1st bedroom has a king-size bed and an additional day-bed, ideal for a child, and the second bedroom can be made up with a double and a single bed, or three single beds, whichever suits you best. This makes it ideal accommodation for families and friends alike.

Location
Patrignone is right in the middle of Chianti, at the epicentre of Tuscany's cultural treasures, just 10 minutes from the beautiful hill-top town of Castellina in Chianti, with its full compliment of restaurants, cafés and shops (and a small supermarket). Siena is just 35 minutes away, and Florence 40 minutes in the other direction, San Gimignano is 30 mins away, with Volterra the next village along. You really couldn't pick a more central location. There's no doubt that you'll need a car to get the most of Chianti's nooks and crannies, but if you feel like venturing further afield, within a 1.5-hour drive you'll find white sandy beaches, typically beautiful seaside resorts, dozens of hot springs, and the majesty of the snow-covered Apennines, clearly visible from Patrignone's terracotta terrace. And if you're into cycling, tennis, golf, ballooning or fishing, these activities and more can easily be organised. Just let us know what your interests are, and we'll give you some options.

About the host
Hosted by Simon Zimbler

Simon Zimbler - owner, manager, olive farmer. We have been running Podere Patrignone for nearly 40 years. We live in the UK but have a full-time manager who helps look after Patrignone and meet guests.
Why they chose this property
My mother moved to the UK when she was 14, but always vowed to move back to her native country at some point. She started looking for a suitable 'project' in Tuscany in the early 80's, and finally settled on Patrignone on 1985. And who wouldn't! She picked Patrignone because she wanted somewhere completely isolated, not overlooked by neighbours, and with a private road not used by anyone else. And, of course, she fell in love with Patrignone's amazing sunset views.
Simon & Verity work hard to make this a home from home and you will be greeted with a welcome pack containing freshly baked bread, local cheese and sliced meats, fruit, tea & coffee, salt & pepper, a bottle of local organic Chianti and our own organic olive oil.
We have lots of knowledge about the local area and will be happy to help advise you on places to visit and to eat at.

What makes this property unique
Well, it really is very beautiful here. You can offset the carbon you have used to get here as we are 'carbon positive', getting our power, hot water and heating from the sun and our woods. We're surrounded on all sides by cypress trees, vineyards, and our olive groves. We're on top of our own hill so we have the most amazing views as far as the Apennines. So it's very peaceful and quiet here, and yet we are perfectly situated, just 45 mins from Florence, 35 mins from Siena and surrounded by beautiful hill-top Tuscan towns, the nearest of which is Castellina in Chianti, just 10 minutes away, and well-stocked with shops, bars, excellent restaurants, a brilliant butcher and a good supermarket.
