Less than ten municipalities compose Valdisieve, a Tuscan region stretching east of Florence and surrounded by Mugello, Casentino and Upper Valdarno. And the most important of them can be counted on a hand: Pontassieve, Rufina, Pelago and Londa.

Renting a holiday villa in Tuscany in Valdisieve means choosing to spend one or more weeks in an area with a strong agricultural tradition that was well renowned already in Etruscan and Roman times.

Most of the villas in Valdisieve are situated in panoramic position and surrounded by hectares and hectares of nature, either uncultured or skilfully and respectfully cultivated in the course of the centuries. It is not by chance that right in Valdisieve are produced two famous and appreciated wines: the Pomino and the Chianti Rufina.

Renting a villa in Valdisieve means also being just a few kilometres from Florence and from other Tuscan cities of art; or having the opportunity to easily reach the outlet village in Barberino for a day of shopping at convenient prices (especially dedicated to women).

• And it will be really amusing to trek or do Nordic walking at the discovery of wineries, farms and grocers` where to taste some real treasures of the Florentine and Tuscan cuisine.

• Or you could also stroll along the narrow streets in Pelago, surrounded by the protagonists of the "On the Road Festival", an event dedicated to street artists that every year in July animates this small town of less than 8,000 inhabitants.
