Apartment of 105 Sq in Villa Florence countryside

Description from the owner

Apartment for 9 people located at the first floor.

Apartment has a size of 105 square meters.

Living room with kitchen area, one junior suite with a loft and two queen size bed; 3 king size bedrooms, private terrace with view of the swimming pool.

Poggio castle, is located in a very panoramic position overlooking the hills of Florence and a small lake, consists of 3 parts, the oldest of which was built in the 15th century.

Located only 15 km far from Florence, immersed in the typical Tuscan countryside, surrounded by a peaceful and silent atmosphere.

All the castle has been recently restored maintaining its cha...rming country style but adding all modern comforts.

The 2000 sqm of garden is accessible from the apartment entrance and also from a large verandah furnished for outdoor dining.

From the windows and from the terraces you have the opportunity to admire beautiful panoramic views over the river Arno valley.

The house is isolated and silent but, at the same time, really close to Florence and within easy reach of Siena, Arezzo and the Chianti region.

In the nearby, in the villages of Pontassieve or Rignano (both 3 Min. by car), you have all the principles services: supermarkets, shops, banks, railway station (with lot of connections to Florence central station, five minutes walking from the Duomo), markets, restaurants and many others.

Only five km far from the house you can visit the famous Outlet store The Mall in wich you can find the most important Brands and Griffes such as Gucci, Ferragamo, Armani, Yves saint Laurent and many others.

The Valdisieve and the Valdarno areas are still quiet unknown and not turistic but really full of attractions: wine road of chianti Rufina e Pomino, monastery of Vallombrosa (12° century), Poppi (village with artisan of cast iron) and ZOO for the children, Park of Casentino's forests, the small medieval village of Pelago and his wandeful nearby, the forest of La Consuma (around 1000 mt high), the medieval city of Arezzo, and much more.

There are lots of things to do when you are at the house: it can be funny to take some walks in the green outside the villa, with vineyards and olive trees beside you, or "picking" vegetables directly from the garden, or discover ancient villas and romantic churches in the close old wine road of Chianti Rufina and Pomino full off cellars where you can taste the typical local red wine.Read more

  We have had a wonderful week there. The location of the Villa is very charming, 15 km from Florence. Again emphasize is the caring nature of the landlord, who is really hard to make you feel comfortable. We will be back!

  Ordre et beauté, calme, luxe et volupté

  Left on 03/22/2013 for a stay in August 2011
  
  

  La qualité du Poggio, c'est de participer d'une aventure humaine, celle de la famille d'Enrico et de Gigliola, au coeur d'une campagne toscanne intacte, parmi les oliviers, la lavande et le jardin potager biodynamique.
  La piscine débordante est très agréable, les studios sont agencés avec beaucoup de simplicité et de goût par la maîtesse de maison, ancien "podere" nobilaire fortifié.
  L'embarras du choix pour qui souhaite s'isoler ou participer de la vie trépidante et exceptionnelle de Florence qui n'est qu'à 20 mn de voiture ou de train.
  Un paradis pour les enfants aussi.
