The Casa di Zefiro is located in Castra, a small village nestled in the tranquility of the Montalbano natural park, in the heart of Tuscany. We are in the municipality of Capraia e Limite, ideally situated between Empoli, Vinci, and Montelupo Fiorentino, surrounded by hills dotted with olive groves, vineyards, and cultivated fields, where the landscape still reflects the rhythm and authenticity of the Tuscan countryside.
This area, in addition to its natural beauty, serves as an excellent starting point for visiting the main art cities of the region: Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca, Prato, and Pistoia are all easily accessible by car or train, thanks to the nearby Montelupo Fiorentino station, which is less than ten minutes from the property. Close by, you can also find remarkable towns such as Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo, with its museums and themed paths, Montelupo Fiorentino, known for its ceramic tradition and local craftsmanship, and Empoli, which features the Glass Museum, the historic center, and the Pinacoteca della Collegiata.
The Montalbano area is perfect for those who enjoy walking, trekking, and cycling: well-marked trails wind through hills and ancient woods, passing through archaeological sites and offering stunning views. Approximately two kilometers away, there is also a riding stable that offers guided horseback excursions, designed for those who wish to experience the territory from a new perspective.
Moreover, Tuscany is a land of flavors: our region is home to numerous wineries where you can taste local wines, as well as farms that provide culinary experiences. Just minutes from the property, you can join guided tours, tastings, and even truffle experiences in the San Miniato area. Finally, for those who love relaxation, we recommend spending a day at the nearby thermal baths or wellness centers.
Choosing Casa di Zefiro means indulging in an authentic vacation, where each day you can decide whether to immerse yourself in art, nature, fine dining, or simply enjoy the pleasure of slowing down and appreciating the beauty that surrounds you.
