Chianni is located in the Valdera region in Central Tuscany between Pisa and Florence. This colourful landscape of rolling hills is dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall dark green cypress trees, all of which epitomise the Tuscan landscape. The nearby città d’arte (cities of art) include Volterra, San Gimignano, Palaia and Florence, each offering splendid art and architecture to admire.

The spa town of Casciana Terme, also in the area, has thermal waters and historical spa which are open to visit and enjoy. It is a pretty town with piazzas and cafès serving the local wine.
