Set in the heart of the Villa La Marcellina estate, Villa delle Donne offers the perfect countryside escape for those seeking complete privacy and relaxation in the heart of Tuscany. Villa La Marcellina is an exclusive estate comprising three villas, each with its own grounds, pool, and outdoor space, which can be rented together or separately.

With three of the most stylish properties in the Tuscan countryside, Villa La Marcellina is a 20-acre estate situated on a hill below the ancient hamlet of Panzano. Access to the property is via two short, unpaved roads starting from the town. Located in the heart of Chianti, the estate is perfect for families or friends seeking tranquillity and privacy in the countryside: two of the villas were built in the 16th and 17th centuries as farmhouses, while the third villa is a recent addition.

Surrounded by greenery, the property has been masterfully restored while preserving the atmosphere of a traditional Tuscan residence. After four years of renovation, completed in 2018 and involving a specialised architect, a construction company of local artisans, and a search for original materials from across Italy, the property is now available for rent. During the restoration, the owners have also respected the environment by using clean energy sources such as solar and geothermal energy.

Please note that high hedgerows divide the outdoor spaces of the villas, while windows and gates are positioned to ensure complete privacy.
