Antica Sosta, Castelfiorentino - Florence and Chianti

A staging post for passing travelers, set just off a road linking Florence to the hilltop town of Volterra. This villa provides a peaceful haven for a group of friends or a family get-together, while still being close to local amenities (the town Castelfiorentino is a short drive away). As well as wine- and olive oil-tastings, tennis and horse riding are on offer locally for the active members in your group. While others can linger over lunch on the terrace or soak up some sun by the private pool.

The two-storey villa, surrounded by tall hedges, overlooks a well-kept lawn and the pool. Inside, there is a rustic appeal to the airy rooms, with plenty of wooden beams and traditional terracotta tiles. The colourful décor – pretty lilac, peach and olive pastels – and the comfortable classic furnishings make the place feel plush, too.

Antica Sosta is so close to the local amenities yet provides guests with a great sense of tranquility, thanks to the well-kept gardens that surround it. Young visitors will be thrilled to discover the outdoor trampoline and table football. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom make it a good option for parties with guests who wish to avoid stairs.
