Set in the hills just 20 km from Florence, this countryside holiday home in Tuscany offers a serene retreat for families or groups of up to 6 guests. The 3-bedroom property is part of a restored historic estate, featuring a panoramic shared pool, a private terrace, and breathtaking views of Valdarno and the Florentine hills.
The residence, which dates back to the Lombard era, blends Tuscan tradition with modern comfort. Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, forests, and a scenic lake, it's an ideal spot for nature lovers. Guests can hike, mountain bike, fish, or simply relax amid the peaceful countryside. Wildlife watching and foraging for mushrooms or berries are added bonuses.
On-site, you’ll find furnished outdoor areas with barbecues, and an organic farm offering extra virgin olive oil, wine, honey, eggs, and fresh produce. A restaurant at the estate occasionally hosts dinners, especially in July and August or during private events. With Chianti, Siena, and Arezzo nearby, the home is perfect for blending cultural discovery with relaxation.
In the neighbourhood you can visit Firenze, Arezzo, Siena, San Gimignano, the Chianti and the Casentino. Pisa and Lucca are not far more then one hour and a half by car.
The quiet that you can enjoy never would imagine the terrible battles that took place within its walls.
The Tower, built by the Florentines around the eleventh century probably on the ancient remains of a Lombard tower and soon included among the fortifications of the Florentine Republic, victoriously faced many battles; destroyed in 1312 by Arrigo VII troops, was rebuilt after their departure.
Today stands mute witness of those days, available to those who even just for one day want to experience the thrill of feeling a lord of the castle.
