Apartments in Farmhouse: Outskirs
 The farm CASALONE is ideal for those who like relax and contact with nature. You can walk in the woods or you can cycle if you prefer (we rent mountain bikes). In 10 minutes it is possible to reach by walking the center of the small town of Limite sull’Arno, where you can find a lot of shops, banks and a post- office.
 At only a few minutes you can also find the town of Empoli, where there is an important railway station (by train it is easy to reach Florence, Siena, Pisa and a lot of Tuscan cities). At only 5 km from the farm you can find the small medieval towns of Capraia Fiorentina and Montelupo Fiorentino, which are famous for the production of ceramic art and terra-cotta since the Middle Age.
 The Montalbano area is famous for its handcraft tradition that is still alive thanks to local masters; for example in the sector of shipyards (the small town of Limite sull’Arno is known for the production in this sector). In a few minutes it is possibile to reach the town of Vinci, the birth-place of the great Leonardo da Vinci (you can’t miss the visit at the museum and at the birth-house!) or you can visit the nice town of Cerreto Guidi, small Medicean centre that has maintened its structure during the centuries (the Medicean Villa is now a national museum).
 From the farm it is possibile to reach even by car the most important Tuscan cities: you can reach Florence in only 30 minutes by car, Pisa in only 40 minutes, Siena and San Gimignano in 50 minutes. It is easy to reach even the famous thermal centre Montecatini Terme and many sea places (the Versilia is only 50 minutes by car). |
