Farmhouses

Location

The stone farmhouse is located near San Casciano Val di Pesa, a charming village in Florentine Chianti.

The most northern town in Chianti, San Casciano Val di Pesa boasts Etruscan origins, as the archaeological sites of Montefiridolfi (the Tomb of the Archer is really worth a visit) and Valigondoli demonstrate.

The territory of San Casciano is rich in interesting churches, castles and villas that once belonged to the families of the Florentine aristocracy. The church of Santa Maria al Prato has been defined the richest religious building in the Chianti region; among other works of art, it houses a crucifix by Simone Martini. The castles of Montefioralle, Gabbiano and Bibbione are worth a visit as well.

In the nearby village called Sant'Andrea in Percussina is the Albergaccio, the place where Niccolò Machiavelli, the author of "The Prince", lived during its exile.
