I greatly appreciate the time you will take to provide me with this.
Best regards,

Owner profile
About the owner
I was born in Florence, lived and studied there and graduated in architecture.
I used to work in an architectural studio, where I got experience restoring old villas-farmhouses and designing fashion shops.
Since years, I directly manage the holiday apartments in many beautiful Villas and Farmhouses settled in the hills around Florence.
Each apartment is strictly inspected by me to ensure quality stay for my guests.
I love to welcome overseas visitors to Tuscany, because it means having a window on the world and having contact with different cultures and traditions.
It gives me pleasure in being able to introduce people to Florence and the surroundings: Tuscany, my beloved, wonderful land, with its Art, Beauties and flavours.
Year purchased: 1970's
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Villa Cafaggiolo is a charming, ancient stone-built farmhouse which sits atop a hill in a panoramic position, surrounded by open farm-land, cultivated with olive groves and vineyards.
The Villa is the Pucci’s family home; we live here in a detached Villa within the same estate and we're pleased to open our home to a select number of guests each year.
We'll be here to welcome you when you’ll arrive. We'll give you the insider's guide to Tuscany, including personally arranging trips to local wineries and places off the beaten track from Florence to Siena…
Villa Cafaggiolo is situated in a perfect location (amid the Florentine hills), to make day trips all around Tuscany: Siena, Pisa, Cinque Terre…
If you look for a peaceful country setting that is close to shops and restaurants.
Unique benefits of the property

The medium size town of Pontassieve, is less than 3 km from Villa Cafaggiolo.
