In the green hills surrounding Florence

Each of the 5 holiday apartments features a kitchen furnished for preparing breakfast or light meals. There is WiFi throughout the property and the apartments all have SAT TV.

Classic Tuscan Decor

Simply, yet tastefully decorated, the owners chose to compliment the typical Tuscan architecture with a collection of Tuscan furniture from the 1800’s. There is a garden area dedicated to each apartment where it is possible to enjoy a leisurely meal. The inviting crystal clear pool is in a panoramic position to capture the warm Tuscan sun all day long.

On the ground floor, there are two independent apartments: Erica and Ginestra, named after flowers that grow wild on the hills of Tuscany. Ginestra (35 sqm) is a one room suite with kitchen and a full bathroom, discreetly divided into a day area and night area by a screen. Both apartments feature a patio with lots of shade, SAT TV and ceiling fans. The Erica apartment (55 sqm), with one double bedroom, bathroom, spacious living room with sofa bed and kitchen with dishwasher is located right next door. These two apartments can be rented together for up to 6 persons.

On the second floor, promising picture perfect views of the Florentine countryside, vineyards and olive groves, you will find the apartments La Vigna, Il Bosco and I Cipressi. The smallest of the three is La Vigna (38sqm), with a double bedroom on the half level of the apartment. Il Bosco (68 sqm) and I Cipressi (65 sqm) both have two bedrooms. The second bedroom for both apartments is located in the attic. The two apartments have a bathroom with shower and a spacious living room with a fully-equipped kitchen in the corner.

Within walking distance to La Tinaia is a small but very popular restaurant. However, save at least one day for Tina and Franco, who during the high season like to cook a real Tuscan meal using veggies from the garden, seasonal fruit and, of course, offer their wines to a community meal.
