Two cottages in the Florentine Hills Two cottages restored in 2007 with approximately 5 hectare of land. The properties stand in an elevated position close to the tiny borgo of Ristonchi facing west with wonderful far reaching views across the Arno and Sieve valleys below and above towards the Appennini and a twinkling Florence at night in the medium distance, just 25 kms to the east of Florence. The two cottages are approached from the local road via a drive terminating in a large private car parking area.

The village of Pelago (3kms) has a number of shops, bars, post office, banks, and pharmacy. Pontassieve (about 10 kms) is the nearest large town, which provide frequent rail and bus access into Florence (about 15 kms). Rome and other large Italian cities. International communications are excellent from Florence airport (30 kms), Pisa and Bologna airports (100 kms) providing regular flights to most European capital cities. Recreational facilities include golf at Ugolino and the surrounding area provides access to the many historic towns.

The two cottages are former Tuscan farm buildings and have been converted using traditional materials. Both cottages are surrounded by oak trees and enjoy views into an old orchard.
