It features a private swimming pool and a garden on the banks of the river Reno. The 5 units, each personalized according to a theme and a prevailing colour, overlook the same corridor, thus recreating the atmosphere of a large house but assuring all guests the privacy and comfort of their large private spaces. Apartment Tradition, with an extendable table and its cosy atmosphere, houses the main kitchen, complete with induction hob, dishwasher, electric oven, microwave and the dining area with room for up to 14 people. This apartment has a mezzanine double bedroom. Together with the other studios Passion (double bed and bathroom), Elegance (double bed, sofa bed and bathroom), Glamour (double or twin beds, sofa bed and bathroom) and the new studio Nature (also suitable for disabled people, accessible by lift and equipped with 2 single beds or double bed and a specific bathroom), our holiday home can comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests in a refined and charming atmosphere. We called it 'Old Inn Le Panche' to emphasise the building's history that is lost in ancient times, when travelers and pilgrims from North stopped here, along the banks of the river Reno, on their way towards Rome. We restored it in 2010 in order to make it a cosy and comfortable place. We used traditional materials and ancient furniture to maintain its original character and charm. In 2023 we also made our property accessible to people with reduced mobility, creating a new entrance near the car park and an elevator that leads to the first floor, where the bedrooms, living room and kitchen are located, furnished with the typical taste of a traditional Tuscan house, from terracotta floors to wooden ceilings and with a touch of modern design. Located next to a restaurant with ancient and fascinating spaces, where you can rediscover the flavors of traditional Tuscan cuisine, our holiday home has a private garden with swimming pool. For the exclusive use of our guests, tables with chairs and a barbecue are available for outdoor dining as well as sun loungers and deckchairs for sunbathing or rather relaxing in the shade. The swimming pool, available from May to the end of September, is equipped with a night cover and heated with a heat pump. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Optional ski privileges - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 5 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - Handrails in stairways - In-room accessibility - Lift (80 centimetre wide door) - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible path to lift - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - On a river ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Heated pool - Optional ski privileges - Table tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Electric car charging station - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Living plant wall - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Solar energy - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 2,476 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:30 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:30 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Start the dishwasher Remove personal items and take out the rubbish Turn off the lights and return the keys Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs and cats only 3 total pets ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Wir waren als Familie ( 11 Personen) im Haus und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Haben gleich für nächstes Jahr gebucht. Nochmals vielen Dank an Davide und seinen Vater. ##### Oliver K. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miranda M. 27 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Superb location, excellent accommodation, delightful, helpful & thoughtful managers Location We were concerned that we would be too hot in August but the climate in the mountains was perfect. As well as days by the pool & building rafts on the stream right behind the accommodation; we had day trips to towns, cities & the beach. Walks in the forest were enjoyed by everyone, you can walk through the forest to the local town with an excellent butchers, café & mini market as well as a bakers & pizzeria. Evenings were cooler which meant that sleeping was not a problem. Accommodation There were 4 rooms/suites on the first floor, each very well equipped and self-contained with kitchens/kitchenettes & bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable and with all bedding & towels included it was very convenient. We stayed for 2 weeks & mid-stay our rooms were cleaned with all towels & linen changed. The 4 rooms have been rented out individually in the past (hotel style) so the only thing missing is an indoor communal area, the listing doesn’t state that there is one so it was our mistake to assume there would be a living room we could all congregate in. However, for the available accommodation the price was more than reasonable & reflective of the lack of additional living area (had this been included I expect the price would have been a lot more) so no complaints! We mainly used the room with the largest kitchen to eat & congregate in, it was a bit of a squeeze for our party to get round the table (there were 11 of us). However, the outdoor space is lovely with plenty of room, tables, chairs & loungers we had an extra 7 family members visit us one afternoon for a BBQ & it was perfect. There is also a washing machine which was an added bonus. Owners Davide and his father were the loveliest hosts, they met us at the property despite our late flight, they even thoughtfully had a bag of food for breakfast in their car for us in case we hadn’t managed to get anything (which we hadn’t !). They gave us lots of information, maps & leaflets about the local area and made it easy for us to contact them during our stay. Two of our children were supposed to be sharing a sofa bed but kept annoying each other so we made up a separate bed for the smallest one on a lilo. On the day our bedding was changed (without being asked) they found a put up bed which they made up instead which was much appreciated. At the end of our stay no one was taking the accommodation that day so they were happy for us to check out late which was very convenient. ##### Miranda M.

We really appreciated our stay at the locanda. After visiting numerous Tuscany historical sites (all of them easily reachable from there) by hot summer days, we were happy to return every evening to the fresh air of the Appennines enjoying the swimming pool and relaxing on a green lawn with beautiful mountain scenery in the background. The property is very clean and decorated with a lot of taste. The owners are charming and give you any necessary information to make your stay really enjoyable. Pistoia with some nice old villages around was interesting to visit as well. We were also glad to discover a number of good restaurants near the property and in the Pistoia area. The locanda is certainly the place to come back to when visiting Tuscany next time. Anna, France ##### anna o.

Chaud en journée quand même mais les nuits sont fraîches. Propriétaires très accueillants et à l''écoute. L''eau de la piscine est un peu froide à cause de l''altitude en montagne.
