La Cantinetta is located on a small but prestigious boutique winery. Situated on a hill top of over 130 acres, the vineyard is along the famous and picturesque Chianti Wine Road offering the most beautiful views of vineyards and hills. Equidistant from Florence and Siena, its history as a farm dates back to 1085 and its current owners have restored it to a gracious vineyard residence. This wine estate is often featured on posters and postcards for sale in neighboring towns. Paintings and photos adorn the walls of several businesses and restaurants.

You are just 3 kms to the popular town of Panzano in Chianti – home of the famous butcher, Dario Cecchini who has opened a few restaurants including Soliccia, where diners sit at long comunal tables. Panzano has a number of festivals, the most popular is the Vina al Vino, the Chianti festival held on the third weekend of September. From La Lepre, within 50 minutes you will be in Florence, Siena or the entrance to the major autostrada and in Lucca in one hour fifteen minutes.
The property is for the sole use of the guests,and you will enjoy complete privacy without being disturbed by the winemaker or guests at the tasting shop below.
