" Montagna Fiorentina "
It is the so-called " Montagna Fiorentina " , a territory east of the capital town of Tuscany, which encompasses part of Upper Valdarno and the valleys of Sieve and Comano. Divided into six municipalities (Londa, Pelago, Pontassieve, Reggello, Rufina and San Godenzo), it is the ideal destination for those tourists who during their holidays in Florence would like to relax in close contact with nature.
Small hills covered with forests alternate with gentle slopes covered with vineyards and olive groves. Moreover, right in this area stand some of the most charming Florentine castles and many aristocratic countryside residences that have nothing to envy to the villas in Florence.
Want some example?
The castle of Nipozzano in Pelago and the Torre a Decima in Pontassieve, Villa Poggio Reale in Rufina or Villa le Fonti in Pontassieve.
And then there is Vallombrosa with its abbey. Built around mid-18th century - but the monks have lived in the area since the year 1000 -, the abbey hosts a museum and an ancient drugstore selling honey, marmalades and jams, herbal teas, syrups, liqueurs and even chocolate.
As we have already said, however, a stay on the Florentine mountains is above all synonym with nature and sport: many tracks are waiting for you to have wonderful walks and mountain-bike or horseback rides. At the end of which you will have the opportunity to taste the delicious local products!
