GUEST REVIEWS
We loved our week here at Villa Le Panche, Nedo and Davide were very knowledgeable on where to eat and what to do locally and we had such a great time. The villa is very well equipped and it was a real treat to have 5 en suite bedrooms.
For us this was really important as a big family group, but everyone also wanting their own space. We never felt on top of each other as there is so much space both inside and outside.
Chrissie (UK) from Trip Advisor
Davide and his father are very welcoming and speak perfect French. They were present and attentive to our requests.
The house is exceptional, in altitude compared to Pistoia, which brings great freshness in summer. We were able to fully enjoy the facilities of the house (the most: sauna, swimming pool, huge jacuzzi).
Magnificent 18th century house!
