About this property

Ancient country house recently restored - beautiful private garden - panoramic

Ancient country house (originally built in the XIII century), recently restored with respect of its historical characteristics, located in the village of Fornello, on the beautiful hills between Florence and Mugello.

It’s only 18 km far from Florence and at few minutes car from Fiesole, Borgo San Lorenzo, Pontassieve. Located at 400 m AMSL and surrounded by unforgettable landscape of vineyards, olive groves, cypress, chestnut, pine and oak trees, it' s a very good starting point to visit the whole Tuscany.

The house is disposed on two floors and consists of four bedrooms, two large living rooms with sofa beds and a very large eat-in kitchen with a typical fireplace perfectly working. Furniture are traditional but all modern comforts are available.

The house is enclosed in a 1500 sqm wide green park, with trees and flowered plants. It’s perfect for outdoor dining as well as for resting or reading under a pine tree, but you can also practice many different activities in the neighborhood.

Ping-pong table available in the garden.

Peace and quiet near Florence.

A wonderful location in the Tuscan hills within easy reach of the beauty and history of Florence. Peace and tranquility in the old house and lovely gardens. A 15-20 min drive to Seici where there are frequent and fast trains into the centre of Florence. House is well equipped with the only downside being only 2 bathrooms with one downstairs. The house remains cool in the heat of the day. A lovely base to explore Florence and within day trip distance to Siena.

Sfeervol huis met schitterende tuin op landelijke locatie

De locatie is landelijk, beschikking over een auto is absoluut noodzakelijk. Je komt er heerlijk tot rust. Mooie sfeervolle kamers in authentieke stijl. Volop serviesgoed, alle apparatuur aanwezig. Grote open haard. Fijne wandeltrails direct vanuit het piepkleine dorpje. Het in-en uitchecken met de gastheer verliep prettig.

Stay at fornello

Wonderful, but also rustical place in the mountains above Florence. A place to enjoy the silence of the mountains. Therefore you have quite some distances to places of actions. Wonderful and easy going hosts.
