Vacation Rental Description

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 furnitures 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 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 contact 
us and Visit the Villa Cafaggiolo's Web Site. 
 
Sincerely, 
the Pucci family

Activities and Attractions

Villa Cafaggiolo is very close to Florence; just 7/8 miles east, that 
means 15/20 minutes by car (a large and comfortable road will lead 
you, through the countryside, from the City to the Villa).  
 
If you want to have an idea about where the Villa is, take a map of 
Tuscany, look for Firenze, than look on the right along the river Arno 
and you’ll find the village of Pontassieve; ideally cross the river 
and you get in Rosano. The Villa is settled on a hill around, just 1 
miles away. 
 
This location is ideal for those wishing to visit Florence and all its 
glories, while at the same time experiencing the quiet and tranquility 
of a rural setting away from the noise and bustle of the city. 
 
Villa Cafaggiolo is immersed in silence with a private road leading to 
the farmhouse.  You will never hear the sound of traffic (day or 
night) during your stay.  Our guests love falling asleep to the 
nightly sounds of nature. 
 
The town of Pontassieve is less than 2 miles from the Villa.  It is an 
attractive medieval village where you will find many shops, banks, 
markets, several very good restaurants, and a shopping center.  There 
is frequent train service to the center of Florence.  The train takes 
about 20 minutes and is an easy way to travel for those who do not 
wish to take their car into the city.  It is easy to park at or close 
to the Pontassieve Station. 
 
Near Villa Cafaggiolo there are many historic places to visit:  
- the 11th century Benedictine monastery at Rosano 
- the Vallombrosa Abbey with its surrounding forests 
- the Etruscan settlement of Fiesole with its unforgettable views of 
Florence 
 
The Villa is a short distance from the most famous towns of Tuscany: 
20-50 miles from Siena, Greve-in-Chianti, San Gimignano, Montalcino, 
Volterra, Vinci, Lucca, Pisa, Arezzo, and the beaches at Viareggio or 
Forte dei Marmi. 
 
In addition, fashion-conscious bargain hunters will find the outlets 
of Gucci, Ferragamo, Armani, Valentino, Prada, Zegna, YSL, Dolce & 
Gabbana, and Fendi just seven miles away, in the town of Rignano 
sull’Arno. 
 
Many people, however, come to Villa Cafaggiolo not “to do” but “to 
be;” to enjoy the tranquil location, beautiful grounds, and excellent 
Tuscan food.  This is life as it should be, calm and unhurried; time 
to talk and listen to friends and family and regain one’s lost vitality.
