The Home Think Italy, think Tuscany and Florence. Well we have the farmhouse in the Tuscan hills, but just 25 kms from the city of Florence, so you get the best of both worlds. Step outside the door and you are in the garden with an incredible view over the vineyards and olive trees, and the village of Rufina at the bottom of the hill. There is a covered eating area with table, perfect for dinner outside on a hot summer's night with a refreshing glass of wine. So although the poor Florentines can't sleep for the heat you will find our place pleasantly cool and a pleasure to come home to after a day's sightseeing. There is also a barbeque in the garden. There will be a swimming pool from summer 2008. We also have a outhouse in the garden which has been converted into a small appartment with pulldown sofa bed and kitchen and bathroom - ideal for a couple or an au-pair. We have a cleaning lady who can come several times during the week, if you need her.
We have friendly italian neighbours so we are not isolated but also we have our privacy. The village of Rufina (famous for it's wine) is just 5 minutes by car.
