Despite its peaceful rural setting, the agriturismo is less than 10 minutes from the centre of Castelfiorentino, where guests can find shops, a supermarket and a Saturday market for the best local produce, as well as clothing and homewares.

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is just 1 hour away and offers some of the finest galleries, museums and architecture in the world. As do the cities of Siena (1 hour) and Pisa, with its Leaning Tower (1 hour). Other towns worth visiting are San Gimignano (35 minutes), famous for its many towers, and, for “Twilight” fans, Volterra (45 minutes), a fascinating town with Etruscan roots.

There are wonderful hiking and cycling routes nearby which will immerse you in the woods and glorious Tuscan countryside.

The closest airports are Florence, 40 minutes drive, or Pisa, which is 1 hour away. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of May 2024 to the 31st of October 2024
