"Florence is only 12 km away from VILLA CAFAGGIOLO... it's only 15 minutes drive"
• Villa Cafaggiolo is very close to Florence... only 12 km South-East, means 15/20 minutes by car.
A large and comfortable road will lead you from the bustle of the City to the tranquillity of the Florentine hills.
You’ll drive in the Chianti Rufina area, through the countryside, along the Arno river; left and right you’ll spot castles, farmhouses, old churches, vineyards, olive groves… all the famous features of Classic Tuscany landscape.
• Access to Villa Cafaggiolo is by a private road. You will never hear the sounds of traffic (day or night) during your stay.
The Villa is immersed in silence and our Guests love falling asleep to the sounds of nature.
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.
"" ...the grounds are as authentic as Tuscany gets and it is as beautiful as the website pictures show.
The views of the vineyards, olive trees, cypress trees and rolling hills interspersed with terracotta and gold stucco homes were absolutely breathtaking.
The grounds are pretty with lavender, rosemary, thyme and rose bushes throughout..."" Mary on Tripadvisor
Villa Cafaggiolo: ""... surrounds are picture postcard and extremely relaxing""
• The small village of ROSANO is 1 Km from the Villa Cafaggiolo.
