Casa Palmira welcomes guests in a beautifully restored ancient Tuscan farmhouse that retains the charm of an old barn while providing all the comforts of a modern home. Nestled in greenery and just 30 minutes from Florence, it serves as the perfect retreat for relaxation without sacrificing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the city.

The house features seven bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, all located on the first floor. Every room is thoughtfully decorated, blending rustic elements with contemporary furnishings to create an intimate and comfortable atmosphere. Communal spaces include a spacious breakfast area with direct access to the garden, where guests can sip coffee, read a book, or enjoy a glass of wine. The expansive and well-maintained garden boasts a swimming pool, a soccer field, and areas dedicated to play and relaxation.

Casa Palmira is also well-suited for larger groups, offering the option to rent the entire property, including the kitchen, garden, and common areas. During the summer, guests can enjoy the shade under the gallery, while in colder months, the environment remains cozy thanks to heating and the warmth of the stove.

Every morning, a buffet breakfast is served, featuring both sweet and savory items, creating a friendly atmosphere to start the day with flavor and energy. Upon prior request, guests can have dinner on-site or take advantage of a pick-up service.

Surrounded by the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside, the property is an excellent starting point for excursions in the area: from Fiesole with its Roman theater to the Medici Park of Pratolino, from the Montesenario Sanctuary to the natural trails of Mugello. For shopping enthusiasts, the Barberino Outlet is about half an hour away, while those seeking a different kind of day can enjoy experiences in nature at Lake Bilancino and the Adventure Park Il Gigante.

Maria, the host, will be delighted to welcome you warmly and share her recommendations and favorite spots, ensuring that every stay is authentic and memorable.

Area Campagna

Casa Palmira is situated in a prime location amidst the Tuscan hills, just 30 minutes from the historic center of Florence, yet surrounded by the serene countryside. This balance of tranquility and accessibility makes the area perfect for those wanting to discover the artistic treasures of the city as well as for those seeking a restorative stay in nature.

There are numerous hiking trails in the vicinity, including the Burraie path and the one leading to the Montesenario Sanctuary, a spiritual and scenic destination located at an altitude of 800 meters. Nearby, you will also find the Medici Park of Pratolino, one of the most captivating estates of the Medici family, featuring expansive green spaces and monumental works such as Giambologna's famous "Appennino." The region is dotted with quaint villages, Romanesque churches, and historic villas, ideal for day trips that combine art and nature.

For culture enthusiasts, the Etruscan town of Fiesole, with its Roman theater, is just a 15-minute drive away, while those who enjoy shopping can easily access the Barberino Designer Outlet. The Bilancino Lake, perfect for water sports and relaxing moments by the shore, is also a short distance away.

The area is rich with traditional restaurants and trattorias where you can savor authentic Tuscan cuisine and local wines. For travelers without a car, a convenient bus stop just a few steps from Casa Palmira provides direct connections to Florence, making it easy to get around without a vehicle.

This part of Tuscany, still authentic and less frequented by mass tourism, offers a wide range of experiences: from wellness to trekking, from art to fine dining, all within easy reach.
