About The Experience
Grab your family and friends – and rent this 13th century manor house near Florence! Recently restored, it features nine bedrooms, several sitting rooms with kitchenettes and great amenities, such as a home theatre system, private pool, Jacuzzi, air conditioning, and WiFi. It is set within a large park and is within walking distance of the village of San Donata in Collina.
Location Description

This property is located 1.1 km from San Donato in Collina, a typical small Italian village with markets, cafes, and a post office. Due to its location in the Florentine hills south of Florence, it is about a 20-minute drive into the city (depending upon the time of day and traffic!), but there is also a bus stop in the village. Other day trips from the villa include the Chianti area, Siena, and Arezzo.
