Ask a questionAbout Tommaso & Nanette
Buongiorno, we are Tommaso and Nanette, we live in the barn house nearby casa Valpiana and we take care of the Villa with its surroundings. Valpiana was originally an old farmhouse, since 1645 in our family. In the past, even 24 people lived here and worked in the vineyard and in the fields around the house. A few years ago we transformed Valpiana into a holiday-house, saving the original Tuscan atmosphere, while offering all the essential comforts. We are a friendly family with two children, olive groves, oil-milll, vineyard and small winery. We do everything in an organic way out of respect for the nature and the next generations. Tommaso is a wine and olive oil expert and Nanette is the one with green fingers. We both speak English.
Tommaso & Nanette purchased this Farmhouse in 2010
Why Tommaso & Nanette chose Londa
It's located in a central position between three beautiful regions from Tuscany, like Montagna Fiorentina, Casentino and Mugello, Florence is only 35 km away. The house and surrounding have a very relax atmosphere and is located in a peaceful green environment at the border of a National Park. Many of our guests fell in love with Valpiana and enjoyed much the offered hospitality and the possibility to make a wine and olive oil tour and taste.
What makes this Farmhouse unique
Villa Valpiana lies at the border of the National Park Casentino Forest. It's a green and peaceful little paradise. It's on the flat top of a hill, overlooking the charming vilage of Londa and its lake. The view is really beautiful everywhere you look. Villa Valpiana is very sunny and for this reason it is a perfect spot for growing vines, olives, fruit trees and to enjoy a large beautiful garden with a pool you don't have to share! This big house is pittoresque and appreciated for its embracing atmosphere, privacy, pleasant coolness during warm days and childfriendly. Its position is ideal to make day trips to the famous Tuscan towns and to enjoy Nature in a relaxed or sportive way. The host (ess) are happy to give you tips for your needs and trips! They can organize wine tastings, visits to their olive oil mill, etc.. Valpiana is beautiful, welcoming and relaxed. The house is detached and surrounded by it's own lovely garden with cypresses, flowers, cooking herbs and fruit trees, a vineyard, olive tree fields and forest. Everything is permeated by a peaceful Tuscan-country atmosphere and located on the border of a nature park. In the cozy village Londa (3 km near by) the people are kind and helpful. You can find there everything you need. It is as well easy to go out for dinner, within a radius of 1 to 4 km you find 4 good restaurants. If you come to Valpiana it is necessary you come by car (or rent). Parking is never a problem. Public transport tip: Jump on the train in Contea-Londa train station. Florence is just 35 kilometers away and very easy to visit by train (nice relaxing Tuscan journey, and no parking stress).
