The entire estate is surrounded by age old olive trees, in an area that is particularly representative of the typical Tuscan beauty. Not only is the villa in an excellent position for day trips to the larger more famous sites such as Florence and Siena - but by following the main road which leads to the villa all the way through the nearby town Montespertoli you will treat yourself to Tuscany at its best with olive groves, vineyards, sloping hillsides and stone farmhouses.
The nearby Montelupo Fiorentino has a beautiful historic center and we recommend for dinner the restaurants „Antica Osteria del Sole” (excellent for Pizza and beef) or the “Osteria Livornese” (for delicious fish meals). For dessert try the well-known ice cream shop “Malagigi” – all in the centre of Montelupo.
