Agriturismo on a magnificent estate near Florence

This property belongs to agriturismos numbers 126 and 103, which are also on my website. It is situated just a few kilometres further on from the main road, hidden in the hills. It is of course wonderfully quiet here. Three buildings together make up the property: A B&B (that can be rented exclusively) a cottage with an apartment that sleeps 4, and a smaller cottage for 2.

The B&B and the apartment 

The 5 B&B rooms are situated in a characteristic terra cotta red villa. On the ground floor is a spacious kitchen, a living room and a dining room with a large table. Outside is a beautiful veranda where you can enjoy your breakfast, in summer, with a view of the garden. The rooms – including a family room – are on the first and the second floor. And ideal for a larger family: the villa can be rented exclusively! 

The house next to it, the former limonaia, has been lovingly renovated as an apartment (B) with 2 bedrooms. The apartment has a private terrace with a dining table. There is a sauna for shared use. Both houses are surrounded by a large garden with a beautiful lawn, and share the outdoor pool. 

Free-standing cottage with spectacular views

The smaller cottage is about 500 metres from the B&B and apartment B, on a hill top that offers a spectacular view! The cottage has a large garden and a small private pool (about 2 x 4 metres). It is also fitted with its own spa with steam bath and jacuzzi. It is an ideal place for couples who set store by quiet and privacy. 

Breakfast

Breakfast is served in the B&B’s cosily furnished living room, and if the weather is fine, on the large roofed veranda. Breakfast is included for guests of the B&B. Guests staying in apartment B can order breakfast, for an additional fee, which is then served either in the B&B or on their own terrace. Guests of the cottage can also order breakfast for an additional fee. They will then have to walk the 500 metres to the B&B, but I cannot imagine a nicer morning work-out than going along this pretty country lane with breakfast to look forward to. In the garden, there is a large BBQ for guests to use.  

Wine bar

If they want to go out for a drink, guests of this property can visit the wine bar at agriturismo No 103, which is only a 10-minute drive away. They also serve simple but tasty dishes, every evening between about 6 and 8 pm, accompanied by a decent/good glass of wine. You can dig into a cheese platter, various salads (e.g. mozzarella with tomato and basil), pizza and ribollita (a Tuscan soup). Booking in advance is key here! Alternatively, 2 km down the road is a nice restaurant where you can enjoy typically Tuscan food in a relaxed atmosphere.

In short

A wonderful, quietly situated agriturismo offering several accommodation options varying from a room with breakfast to a romantic cottage for two. Florence is only a half-hour drive away, and there are a few outlets nearby, for those who like shopping. You can leave it to the professionalism and hospitality of the friendly owners: Here you can really relax, revel in the Tuscan landscape and savour the local cuisine!
