Hotel
Set on a 350-hectare estate with vineyards, olive trees and a restored 12th century castle, these upscale villas and apartments are 11 km from the town of Pontassieve and 20 km from Florence. Individually decorated apartments, set in a villa and in the farmhouse, share a pool and offer TVs, living areas and modern kitchens; some add gardens, patios, and/or fireplaces. Posh villas add Wi-Fi and/or private outdoor pools. A polished restaurant, featuring the estate's wines and Tuscan fare, is set in a farmhouse cellar with vaulted ceilings and exposed-brick walls. Activities such as wine tastings, vineyard tours and cooking classes are available.
