Relax in the Chianti,
Just 15 minutes from Florence
Situated on the outskirts of a quaint village by the name of Impruneta, the Relais Villa l'Olmo is perched on a hill dotted with grey olive trees, overlooking the Chianti valley. Lying a mere 10 kilometres from the city of Florence and its airport, a 10-minute drive from the main road to Siena and from the A1 motorway linking Milan to Rome, this is the ideal location for relaxing in the Tuscan countryside without forfeiting the chaotic bustle of Florence. ... [+] More While the city can be reached by public transportation every 30 minutes, the village centre is a 5-minute stroll from the Relais, where the Tuscan culinary delicacies can be savoured in typical trattorias.
The Property:
Nestled in a 70-hectar landscape of rolling hills, the 16th-century Relais mirrors the careful renovation completed in 2000, work that was painstakingly undertaken to preserve the original architectural structure. In addition to the 7 apartments, 2 cottages and farmhouse available for guests, the property encompasses vineyards, olive groves, the owners? private residence and an operating farm.
The Apartments and Cottages:
Made up of a living room, a fully equipped kitchen area, bedrooms and bathrooms, each apartment is tastefully decorated with hand-made lamps, cheery gingham and stripe fabrics, traditional rod-iron tables and chairs, and comfortable sofas. Comfort is assured by modern kitchen and bathroom fittings as well as amenities, i.e., direct phone lines, satellite TV, CD players (a selections of films is available at the reception), air conditioning, independent heating, and daily cleaning, towel and bed service. Washing machines are available in certain rentals.
While the two private cottages offer the same comforts as the apartments, they each benefit, in addition, from a private pool and garden overlooking the valley.
