QUICK INTRO Villa Cafaggiolo in a few sentences • The Villa is a luxury farmhouse only 7/8 miles east of Florence, 20 minutes by car. It is located in the Chianti Ruffino countryside, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. It is at the top of a hill so you can enjoy a great view of the valley. • The Villa is composed of 3 luxury apartments, each a different size and shape, and each completely independent of the others. Each one has its own private entrance as well as its own private garden. • The apartments are tastefully furnished with antique furniture and chandeliers and decorated with paintings and ceramics. Terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, and stone walls are everywhere. We (the Owners) used to live in this big Villa ourselves, before we divided it into 3 apartments; that is why they have a genuine Tuscan homelike feeling. • Access to the Villa is by private road. You will never hear the sounds of traffic (day or night) during your stay. Our guests love falling asleep at night to the sounds of nature. • All the land around Villa Cafaggiolo (2.5 acres) is completely fenced; your children will be safe in any part of the estate. • There is a private swimming pool on the estate and also a private parking lot for your cars. • The medium-sized village of Pontassieve is less than two miles from the Villa. There you’ll find any of the shops, restaurants, supermarkets, or banks you may need. • There is a Railroad Station in Pontassieve with trains running frequently to Florence. The fares are inexpensive and the trains are comfortable and fast. It only takes 15 to 20 minutes to get to the center of Florence. It’s easy to find parking at or close to the Station. • The Villa is strategically located close to major highways. The following are some approximate driving times from Cafaggiolo: 20 minutes: Florence and Fiesole 1 hour: San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena, Lucca, Arezzo 1.5 hours: Pisa, Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto 2.5 hours: Roma, Venezia, Cinque Terre. • For bargain hunters…, the Gucci, Ferragamo, Armani, Valentino, Zegna, and other Outlets are just 15 minutes by car from Villa Cafaggiolo. • Presently, we (the Owners) live on the same estate but in a separate Villa. This means you will have your privacy but, at the same time, we’ll always be available to solve any problems or to offer suggestions. • If you think that Villa Cafaggiolo is what you might be looking for but you’d like more details before making up your mind, please go ahead and visit the rest of the website.
