Among them are to be mentioned the small romanic ancient churches of Valdarno, the most important of which is S. Romolo at Gaville, the medieval towns of S. Gimignano, Cortona, Volterra and the park of the casentinese forests with the hermitages of Verna and Camaldoli, which were quite dear to S. Francesco; last but not least there is also Chianti with its splendid farm houses, medieval villages and ancient castles.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1995
Why the Owner Chose Figline Valdarno
In 1995 when my husband and I saw Il Gavillaccio for the first time, we were very impressed. Although it was only a ruin, we were bewitched by it dreaming of what could become of such a magical place. When we read the old stories about this place (mentioned also in the Divine Comedy) we decided that we wanted to restore it and bring it back to life.
