Description of the Property - Vacation Apartment Castelfiorentino

Le Docce farm holiday resort rises on the enchanting estate of the same name, on a hill in the heart of Tuscany that gently descends toward Castelfiorentino. It lies at the border between Florence, Pisa and Siena, not far from other towns of scenic, historic, and cultural importance such as San Gimignano, Certaldo and Volterra.
The estate is part of the farming enterprise run by the Ciampalini family that has cultivated the land in this part of the countryside for centuries. The family renovated the estate and converted it into a farm holiday resort, preserving the typical features of the original rural buildings and characteristic Tuscan crops.
The farmhouse and barn dominate the summit of the hill and have been restructured to obtain eight apartments for our guests. Beyond the eight apartments there is a delightful reception area, a swimming pool that offers a superb, sweeping view from San Gimignano to the Apuan Alps, a large park with picnic tables and barbecues, a lawn bowling field and mountain bike trails.
Immersed in the peaceful countryside, our guests will enjoy long walks along the paths of the estate, among vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields that adorn the colorful slopes. Guests can admire the natural spring from which comes the resort's name, Le Docce (The Falls); the fields that yield our typical products, and take part in genuine country life thanks to the activities regularly organized by Cinzia and Cristina Ciampalini. Guests can easily reach, by car or by train, the principal Tuscan art cities and many charming little towns, enchanting for their beauty and variety of colors and flavors.
