Villa Floriana E, San Baronto

Villa Floriana is a beautiful villa built as a vacation home. It features terraces facing the sun and the wide scenery of the valley and the hills. It is at about 400 meters (about 1,312 feet) of altitude in a prominent position on the slope of a hill overlooking the valley of Valdinievole, formed by the river Arno. The villa is in the middle of a small “fraction-town” of San Baronto.

You will be on the hills of Montalbano, not far from the sea. Only 40 km (about 25 miles) away, you will find the small town of Viareggio, famous for its splendid beaches. The scenery around the villa is one rich in hills, with vineyards covering the lower areas, olive groves on the slopes, and woods of chestnuts and oak trees on the top. The Chianti wine of Montalbano is produced in the area and there are several wine cellars around.

Amidst the green, you will see elegant villas and beautiful farms which offer hospitality to tourists: the area boasts many trails and cycling paths.

You will be close to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, and San Gimignano: you can even search for the cities or art of Tuscany and also its beautiful castles and historical hamlets on convenient daily visits or excursions.
