The house is located in the small and charming medieval town of Chianni and witness of that period is the urban structure, with its houses and buildings close together and its narrow stone streets, with shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Surrounded by vegetation composed primarily of chestnuts and olive trees, Chianni is placed at 350 meters on the sea level and has a splendid views over the valley. Its hidden position has helped it to remain almost intact though the ages, although the International Airport of Pisa, the seaside cities of Castiglioncello and Cecina on the Tyrrhenian coast, or the golf courses of Pisa and Castelfalfi, or the remains of Etruscan or historic towns, such as Volterra, are all within 60 minutes drive. In Chianni there are many activities on offer: cooking classes, painting classes, italian language classes, tasting of wine, oil and other typical products, hill walking, Vespa tours on the hill roads, guided tours to the historical localities in the area, golf and lot more.

Chianni is also located just 5 km from Casciana Terme, a spa resort of national importance.
