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.
