Villa Cafaggiolo is very close to Florence; just 12,5 km east, that means 15/20 minutes by car.
A large and comfortable road will lead you, through the countryside, along the Arno river (surrounded by hills, vineyards, castles, farmhouses and old churches), from the bustle of the City to the tranquillity of  the Chianti lands.

To have an idea about where the Villa is, take a map of Tuscany, look for Firenze, than look for Pontassieve (on the east side); now ideally cross the river and you’ll find Rosano. Villa Cafaggiolo is settled top 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 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 Km 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.
