| The
farm
PODERE CASALONE is ideal for those who
like relax and contact with nature. You can
walk in the woods or you can cycle if you
prefer (we rent mountain bikes).
In
10 minutes it is possible to reach by
walking the center of the small town of
Limite sull’Arno, where you can find a lot
of shops, banks and a post- office.
At only
a few minutes you can also find the town of Empoli, where
there is an important railway station (by
train it is easy to reach Florence,
Siena, Pisa and a lot of Tuscan cities).
At
only 5 km from the farm you can find the small medieval towns of
Capraia Fiorentina and Montelupo
Fiorentino,
which are famous for the production of
ceramic art and terra-cotta since the Middle
Age.
The Montalbano area is famous for its
handcraft tradition that is still alive
thanks to local masters; for example in the
sector of shipyards (the small town of
Limite sull’Arno is
known for the production in this
sector).
In
a few minutes it is possibile to reach the
town of
Vinci,
the birth-place of the great Leonardo da
Vinci (you can’t miss the visit at the
museum and at the birth-house!) or you can
visit the nice town of Cerreto Guidi, small
Medicean centre that has maintened its
structure during the centuries (the Medicean
Villa
is now a national museum).
From
the farm it is possibile to reach even by
car the most important Tuscan cities: you
can reach Florence in only 30
minutes by car, Pisa in only 40
minutes, Siena and
San Gimignano in 50 minutes.
It
is easy to reach even the famous thermal
centre Montecatini
Terme and many sea places (the Versilia is
only 50 minutes by car).
