Only a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Florence, you can treat yourself to a stay in lovely rooms with private bathroom and enjoy an extraordinary panorama in the midst of the peace and quiet of the countryside.
Renewable energy, wholesome foods, and a swimming-pool flanked by secular olive trees will make your holiday a unique experience
The holiday farm Casale Le Pergole is immersed in the splendid countryside of the Florentine hills and looks out over an immense valley. A breathtaking panorama takes the eye as far as the foot of Monte Falterona, the mountain which gives birth to Florence’s renowned river, the Arno. Immersed in the heart of the countryside, its exclusive position nevertheless allows the visitor to reach the centre of Florence in only twenty minutes, the city then being the gateway to the whole of Tuscany with its wealth of places steeped in art and history to visit.
The name of the farm comes from the original pergola which shades the front of the old farmhouse, making it an enchanting summer retreat and ensuring a cool, relaxing stay. The 14th century house and its barn have been completely renovated in the original style and are flanked by olive-groves, vineyards and fruit trees. Close by, there is a swimming-pool surrounded by secular olive trees.


Situated only twenty minutes from one of the world’s most beautiful cities of art: Florence. How can one resist a visit to the Uffizi, a stroll along the banks of the Arno or shopping in the famous Via Tornabouni?
Fiesole is only a stone’s throw away. A visit to this charming town is a must, both for its Etruscan and Roman remains and for its monuments such as the Cathedral, the Church and Convent of San Domenico, founded in 1400, or the Badia Fiesolana where an elegant early renaissance cloister has been preserved.
The surrounding hills offer various walking opportunities with well signposted, graded walks, trekking and biking tracks for relaxing excursions. A short trip takes one to the monastery at Montesenario, to the 12th century sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso and numerous other places steeped in history and where it is possible to find traces of a thousand-year heritage.
For those who are keen on horse-riding, the Corte Chiarese Riding Centre, only a few kilometres away at Bivigliano, offers both private lessons and fantastic rides through the Florentine hills.
