Customer feedback
Prices and discounts

Idyllically situated, this 240 sq m country villa sleeps up to 8+2 persons and is fully furnished in typical tuscan style. A total of 3 open fireplaces in the living and kitchen dining areas give that warm tuscan flair and feeling to this country villa. From the swimming pool you have breathtaking panoramic views across the green Mugello valley .

This organic farming estate covers a total area of approx. 200 hectares, on which the Country Cottage Londa 2 and the Country Manor Apartments Londa 3, with 5 separate holiday apartments, are also located. The 3 properties are approximately 2,5 km apart from each other.

The owners are extremely hospitable and enjoy showing their guests the typical Tuscan culture. Especially families with children will enjoy discovering and experiencing the adventurous nature-based surroundings as well as appreciating a healthy lifestyle of organic produce direct from the farm. For example, get to know the farm animals close-up and see how the goats, rabbits and chickens are bred and raised as healthily and as happily as possible in a natural environment, learn all about organic gardening from the digging stage to the final cooking of the vegetables and fruit and discover just how well the organic crops thrive and prosper.. Your hosts invite their guests to actively participate on the farm - a welcoming opportunity for many that rarely have contact with animals and wildlife in their normal everyday life. Children will have fun feeding and helping out with the animals and fetching the eggs straight from the hen's nest. For those who enjoy cooking and would like to watch and learn for example, how to make homemade pasta or prepare tortellini, Gianna would be delighted to show you. And for those wishing to purely relax and unwind, the peaceful and tranquil surroundings and the beauty of the countryside ensures that guests enjoy a relaxing stay.

The village of Londa
The village of Londa is approximately 7km away from the estate and located about 30 kilometres North-East of Florence, which can be easily reached across the Pontassieve along the banks of the river Arno. The area surrounding Londa is characteristic Tuscan countryside with woods and olive groves in abundance and many wonderful hiking paths. In Londa you will find shops, banks, chemist and restaurants, for general provisions and important needs.

The village of Poppi
Poppi is situated approximately 20 kilometres South-East. The former main town of the Arno valley lies in the upper part of Casentino, a less well-known area, even amongst Italians. Due to its geographical location and its history, Casentino has remained a distant and isolated island in the heart of middle Italy. Once the residence of Count Guidi in the 13th century, the Castello dei Conti Guidi has become the visible symbol of Poppi.

County Villa Londa 1 - Tuscany County Villa Londa 1 - Tuscany



The Mugello Racing Track
For all motor sports fans, the Mugello racing track is located just 25 kilometres away. The Italian Grand Prix for motorbikes takes place here every year as well as the German Touring car masters. The track is also often used for Formula 1 training and test drives, especially by Ferrari. The racing programme and dates are published on the official website of the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello.

Moutain bike tours
To the east of the estate is a vast conservation area and the Casentinian woods with glorious tracks for mountain bike trips and tours. A great way of discovering the wonderful, enchanting countryside and idyllic villages.

Golf, with a view
The Casentino golf club lies in a panoramic location near Poppi, (500m high), with views across the entire Arno valley. The complete course can be observed from the clubhouse. The clubhouse, surrounded by oak and chestnut trees, dates back to the 14th century and has been fully renovated. The 9-hole course is very interesting and must be played with great care; technique and precise strokes are required.

Attractions in the area
La Verna, the oldest Franciscan monastery was founded in 1214 by Francis of Assisi. Vicchio, the birth place of the famous Renaissance painter Giotto di Bondone. Scarperia, famous since 15th century for production of knives. Designer-Outlet in Barberino di Mugello. Here you will find over 90 fashion shops and boutiques, mostly from italian designers.
