The Area
Surrounded by tranquil, verdant hills, and yet just 10km (as the crow flies) away from Florence, Casetta Firenze is ideal for anyone wishing to relax in seclusion while still being irresistibly close to one of Italy's most iconic and fascinating cities.
The capital of Tuscany, with its fabulous architecture, its artistic treasures, and its vibrant restaurant and café life is a 30-minute drive away, but it may be easier, in terms of parking and navigation, to head over to Scandicci (a 15-minute drive) and then hop on one of the frequent trams into the centre, which take about 20 minutes.
In terms of beaches, the coastline around Marina di Pisa (1 hour approx.) is home to long, quiet stretches of sand, vibrant resorts and interesting towns, including Viareggio and Livorno.
Drives of about 1 hour to the west and southwest will take you to some of Tuscany's other gorgeous cities and towns, including Pisa, Lucca and Siena.
Some 30-to-45 minutes south of Siena, meanwhile, is the Val d'Orcia, whose villages and towns - Montalcino, Pienza, Bagno Vignoni and Montepulciano, to name but a few - are renowned for their wonderfully preserved mediaeval centres, their wines and cheeses, and the scenic landscapes that surround them.
