Nestled in the lush greenery of the Montalbano natural park, La Casa di Zefiro welcomes guests to the quaint village of Castra, situated between Empoli, Vinci, and Montelupo Fiorentino. Its strategic location makes it perfect for exploring the main cities and the most authentic villages of Tuscany. The establishment was born from Alessandro's desire to share his love for his homeland with those who choose it as their holiday destination, providing sincere, attentive hospitality always accompanied by a smile.

The B&B features four tastefully decorated rooms, each with a private bathroom, inspired by the scents of nature: Citrus, Olive, Rose, and Sage. They offer a soothing view of the Tuscan hills adorned with vineyards, olive groves, and wheat fields. Each space is designed to ensure comfort and tranquility, equipped with heating, air conditioning, Smart TV, free Wi-Fi, daily cleaning, and linen changes every three days. Each guest also receives a set of keys for unrestricted access to the premises.

Every morning, a rich and carefully prepared breakfast is served, featuring a sweet and savory buffet made with local and artisanal products. Guests can enjoy yogurt, fresh fruit, freshly baked pastries, cold cuts, cheeses, eggs, and a variety of other offerings in the indoor dining area or outside on the panoramic terrace or in the furnished garden. There is also a coffee corner available for guests, equipped with a Lavazza coffee machine, kettle, and a selection of teas, herbal infusions, and chocolates.

The outdoor swimming pool, open from June to September, is exclusively for guests and serves as a relaxing oasis, surrounded by a sun terrace equipped with loungers and umbrellas. Towels and bathrobes are provided in the rooms for guests to fully enjoy this rejuvenating space.

To enhance the stay, Alessandro is pleased to recommend and book personalized experiences: guided tours of museums in Florence and historic villages in the region, tastings at local wineries, horseback riding at nearby stables, pottery experiences in Montelupo Fiorentino, and truffle hunting in San Miniato. There are also wellness options available, including access to thermal caves or nearby spa centers.

Easily accessible by car, with private parking and free luggage storage, the B&B is just a few minutes from the Montelupo Fiorentino train station, which is well connected to Florence, Pisa, Siena, Livorno, and other Tuscan destinations. La Casa di Zefiro is the ideal starting point for those looking to experience an authentic journey through nature, art, flavors, and genuine hospitality.
Rooms and Rates
Breakfast at Casa di Zefiro is designed to kick off the day with flavor and energy, pampering guests from the moment they wake up. Every morning, they are greeted with a diverse and plentiful buffet, where the aromas of homemade cakes—such as doughnuts and tarts—blend with those of warm croissants filled with chocolate or apricot jam.

Fresh bread and toast, local jams and honey, yogurt, fruit, butter, cereals, juices, cold cuts, cheeses, and savory options like hard-boiled eggs and slices of bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil or topped with tomato are all available. Upon request, guests can also enjoy freshly made omelets or sunny-side-up eggs.

To enhance the experience, there is a corner dedicated to freshly squeezed juices and smoothies made from fruit and vegetables, customized to individual tastes. This generous breakfast reflects the thoughtfulness and care put into every detail to ensure guests feel at the center of attention.

Hey, I'm Alessandro

Every morning, I enjoy welcoming my guests with a carefully prepared breakfast, as I believe it is the most important meal of the day. I’ve designed a buffet that caters to all tastes: homemade donuts and tarts, jam-filled or chocolate croissants, fresh and toasted bread, local jams and honey, fruit, yogurt, butter, cereals, cold cuts, cheeses, and a variety of savory options like eggs, bread with oil or tomato. Upon request, I’m happy to prepare omelets or sunny-side-up eggs. For those who like to start their day with an extra touch of freshness, I’ve set up a corner where you can make fresh juice or smoothies from fruits and vegetables. Every detail is intended to make you feel welcomed and pampered, just like at home.

Area Collina

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.
