About The Experience

What comes to mind when you hear the words “Tuscany vacation rental?” Here are few ideas to get yourself going: Chianti wine, sparking pool, and authentic Italian meals. Located near the largest wine festival of Chianti, this Tuscany apartment is the place to come with your family when you don’t want to have to worry about running out of things to do or even cooking meals, as there is a private restaurant on the property grounds available exclusively for guests. Stay locally in the countryside or venture to more urban areas like Florence or Siena. In any case, this is how holidays in Tuscany should be spent, especially when you are residing in one that looks like a medieval castle!

Location Description

The medieval town of San Polo is located three kilometers from the property. Not only are there plenty of shops, markets, and places to buy groceries and go wine tasting, but San Polo features numerous live events, such as classical music concerts and theater performances. San Polo can be traced back to the eighth century and is famous for its centuries old iris farms. In fact, an international Iris Festival is held here every May where irises are exported all over the world and used in making perfumes and cosmetics. Be sure to visit the 11th century church, the Officina della Music (music hall), and view the abundant vineyards surrounding the town. It’s also nice to know that you’ll be less than half an hour away from Florence, a city rich in architectural and artistic masterpieces. Visit the Piazza San Giovanni, also known as the religious heart of the city, and you’ll see the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, built in the 15th century. Other marvelous attractions include the Ponte Vecchio where you can go shopping, the Accademia Gallery full of Florentine paintings, and of course the Uffizi Gallery. Other possible day trips include San Gimignano and Siena.
