La Torricella is a Renaissance dwelling located in the hills surrounding the city of Florence. Set in a rural area just a few minutes away from the Historic Centre of Florence, La Torricella is the ideal place for anyone who wishes to enjoy the beauty and quietude of the Tuscan countryside within easy distance of Florence's monuments and works of art.

Each room has a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. All our rooms have private bathroom with hairdryer, TV satellite, safe and phone. The architecture and furnishings reflect the history of the building, with terracotta-tiled floors and beamed ceilings. Our swimming pool mt. 5 x10, is open from May to October.

The Charterhouse of Galluzzo is located in the south of Florence, on top of a hill and it is more than a convent, is a real citadel of monastic looks like a fortress. Excellent Model of medieval monastic life (as was implied in a perfect autarkical and economic organization) was one of the most powerful monasteries of Europe, enormously rich, hosted hundreds of religious, and there were stored before the spoliation Napoleonic works well 500 art.

The visit to Charterhouse still offers a valuable testimony of monastic life because there lives a small group of Cistercian monks, who provide much of their livelihood with work inside the monastery and were handed over time, as the distillation of liquors derived from herbs, as well as small handicrafts religious objects.

Impruneta is a Tuscan hill country, located between Val di Greve and Val d'Ema, about half an hour south of Florence. In the past it was known as "prunetis" or "pine" and indeed you can always visit the remains scattered among the beautiful pine forests of the hills surrounding olive groves. The Church of Impruneta became famous for its beautiful image of the Madonna which was the destination for many pellegrini. Also today there is a fair note on 18 October, the day of St. Luke.

Originally fair livestock, has become a celebration with dinner and horse racing. Near the church has developed a small country that became important for the production of terracotta. Preliminary indications about the terracotta date back to 1098 and the production of tiles, ceramic bricks and continues to this day. The church and its treasure, kilns with their goods constitute the largest reasons for a visit Impruneta.
