My girlfriend and I stayed at the Paneretta during our first trip to Italy. I cannot imagine experiencing Tuscany any other way. Massimo and Patrizia were fantastic hosts in every sense. Dining with them was a pleasure not just for the outstanding food, but for the conversation and perspectives that you can only get around the dinner table and over... More

We were here for the cooking class only. It was one of my favorite days in Tuscany. The owners were delightful and we had a great time laughing and cooking, not to mention, enjoying a very informative class about using what you have to make a fabulous meal!! It was my favorite meal of our whole trip. The facility is... More

If you're looking for the REAL Italy this country accommodation is it! Situated in the heart of rural, non-commercial Tuscany, your stone farmhouse looks out over serene rolling hills, iconic vineyards and neighboring hill towns. Even better, your hosts -- the energetic and irresistible Patrizia, and her kind husband Massimo -- will emerge you into the Italian culture faster than... More

We had a fantastic experience cooking and eating with Patrizia and Massimo. The location was fantastic and it was great to learn about the Tuscan and Italian way of life. The views were stunning over a vineyard and I would definitely come again.

Dinner and breakfast were both interesting and good, and the host were friendly and hospitable and helpful. Location was beautiful and off the beaten track, but not far from many places worth visiting.

Let me first emphasize that we really enjoyed the breakfast which was rich in terms of variety and full of excellent local products (which is normally the case in every Agriturismo, right ?!) Now, considering the place we had to stay for the night ... 1) we found some "stuffs" from the previous lodgers as an empty bottle of wine,... More

We had such an amazing time we extended our trip a day, spending one less day in Florence. Patrizia and Massimo are wonderful hosts. They made us a delicious meal the first night, and we had a great conversation over liver toasts, pasta with artichokes, and roasted guinea fowl. Patrizia has a million great suggestions, and Paneretta is located in... More
