The Tuscany / Firenze Province region

By Plane, the main airport in Tuscany is Pisa airport, also Florence airport is quite important. International flights arrive in Rome or Milan

Tuscany is a year round destination and you can really come at any time without disappointment because every season has its own charme.
Of course during winter it does get cold, but certainly not as compared to central and northern Europe.
Not quite so busy and certainly recommended are the months of April, May and October. November is the month of the harvest either olive and Wine so those coming in this month will be able to live this important moment of the Tuscan lifestyle.

The Florence / Central Florence area

Main attractions near the house:Ponte Vecchio,Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo);Piazzale Michelangelo; the Astrophysical Observatory; Il Giardino di Boboli;San Miniato a Monte.Florence - "Florentia", the florid, was the name given by the Romans to this small settlement located at the foot of the ancient Etruscan Fiesole and founded in the first century BC.
Despite the internal struggles, first between rival families and then between the Guelfs (loyal to the Pope) and the Ghibellines (loyal to the Emperor), from the thirteenth century onwards it began to flourish as a city of art, culture and international trading, reaching its zenith in the fifteenth century under the Signoria of Cosimo and Lorenzo de’ Medici.
The territory of Florence is the guardian of an exceptional art heritage, a splendid testimony to its history and secular civilization from Fiesole with its Roman Theater to the hills of Chianti with its parish churches, endless itineraries may in fact be followed through the country side, offering a variety of different themes and high-quality content, both of cultural value and of environmental naturalistic interest.
If this is your first time in Florence, follow this link and find a comprensive guide to the area, with suggested places to see.
To visit the area around Florence we suggest to hire a car, or a moto. Distances are bigger than you may think.By carFlorence is geographically located in the middle of Italy, the main highway A1 which connect Milan to Naples, pass through Florence. Depending on your destination, you can exit Florence north, Centre, Certosa or South.Personally, I suggest to go to Florence, by train because the parking is almost impossible, the main parking is Santa Maria Novella, under the train station and it cost 3,50 Euro/hour. Many days during the year the city centre is not reachable by car, because the police block the traffic for smog, so you can also be stopped along the road with your luggages and constrict to take a taxi. If your hotel is in the city centre and the parking is not included, it can cost up to 30 Euro/day. Think about itBy TrainDue to its location, Florence is considered one of the most important train station in Italy.All the fastest trains stop here, in 2006 will be possible to reach Milan or Rome (300 Km) in 1,30 hours with the new fast train. There are many connections with these towns, every 2 hours there is a train and the station is centrally located, about 5 minutes from the city centre. Train is the best solution for those who want to visit Florence. By PlaneFlorence has an airport By BikeFlorence is not a main destination for bicycle lovers. The town is almost flat, but around there are many hills, Chianti area or Mugello are not very easy to see with bicycles. By BusBuses are also useful for Florence.See these companiesATAF for Florence townFLORENTIA BUS for Mugello, Valdisieve and ValdarnoLAZZI for Lucca, Pistoia, EmpoliSITA For the Chianti area or Val di PesaFlorence to Siena by bus or Siena to Florence by bus every hour, departure near the Santa Maria Novella train station. <<< MONTELUPO GOLF CLUB >>>at 30 mins drive website:www.golfmontelupo.it/ -

UNE ADDRESSE A RECOMMANDER"

Monsieur Régis( France)


"Maison, très bien située, très agréable, un lieu idéal pour découvrir Florence et ses alentours. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et font tous pour rendre le séjour le plus agréable possible."
Monsieur BRENDAN (France)



Uno dei modi migliori per visitare Firenze e i suoi dintorni: - una casa accogliente e spaziosa, circondata dai colouri della collina toscana, - lontani dal traffico cittadino, ma in 10 minuti siete in piazza del Duomo (gli autobus sono decenti e frequenti ). The best way to visit Florence and the neighbor: - a beautiful house, very comfortable and surrounded by the colours of the famous Tuscany's landscape - In ten minutes,using the public bus, you are in centre of the town avoiding traffic congestion "
Signor Renato (Italy)

"Very nice home. The three bedrooms and kitchen were spacious and there were two full bathrooms. The owner was very sweet and helpful. It felt like you were in the city and the country at the same time. The front door opened to the city, with downtown Florence being only a short bus ride away, and the back door opened to miles of countryside."
Mrs Shawn (USA)


"I think that nobody can find a better location in Florence {easy to find, close to the centre, plenty of space, new restored historic villa, private parking, splendid view of toscan yellow fieldsmodern system of security }. You can hear the silence of the property garden wich has grapes, olives, apples and pears."
Mr.Florin (Romania)

We really enjoyed our two weeks here.Thank you for your great welcome and your lovely house.It is a super place to stay - very close to the Art Galleries,churches,museums etc. in Florence which we visited.We also enjoyed playing tennis and walking on the small roads nearby.If you would like to come to stay in our home in Ireland with your family during the summertime,we could arrange it.
Many thanks again and God bless.

Cette location est idéalement située pour la visite de Florence et de la toscane. Havre de pais et de calme à quelques minutes en bus du centre historique, cette ancienne demeure est meublée avec le plus grand goût est très spacieuse et reste fraîche malgré la canicule. Nous avons passé une semaine formidable et remercions très chaleusement Nicoletta et son époux Roberto pour l'excellent acceuil et tous les bons conseils. Nous espérons pouvoir y revenir avec plaisir.

Mme Dominique - - (Belgium)

"Très belle demeure, joliment meublée, une face en ville une face à la campagne. Très belle vue sur les coteaux et très calme. Situation géographique exceptionnelle: proximité des accés routiers et autoroutiers ainsi que du centre historique à 10 minutes en autobus.Et, ce qui ne gate rien, un excellent accueil."
Mme Colette (France)


"Je recommande vivement l' appartement IRIS qui est situé dans un quartier résidentiel très calme avec un portail sécurisé pour garer une voiture en toute sécurité. L''appartement est très bien équipé : cuisine avec table à induction, machine à laver le linge, sèche cheveux, fer à repasser, ... Il y a une table de jardin et un barbecue dans la cour, belle vue sur les collines, résidence calme. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et prévenants. Nicoletta parle très bien le français et l''anglais. L''accès au centre historique de Florence se fait en 10 minutes en bus et la route pour aller vers Sienne ou pour rejoindre l''autoroute A1 n''est pas loin."
Mme.Isabelle (France)

"Le calme du logement IRIS est reposant après une journée en ville.Les bus nous emmènent à Florence facilement. Accueil chaleureux et en français.
Mme Pascale et Mons.Thierry" (France)

"C''est sans aucun problème que nous recommandons cette location, Nicoletta et sa famille sont chaleureux, accueillants, prévenants. La location est idéalement située, pour des marcheurs, aller au centre de Florence se fait en une demie heure, sinon les bus sont à proximité. La gare permet de circuler aux alentours et ainsi de laisser la voiture. Excellente location que nous recommandons !!!" (Iris apartment)
