Large family villa with private pool in the heart of Tuscany

VILLA FLORALE – PONTEDERA AREA
Villa Florale can be found within only 20 minutes drive from the large Pontedera town, with other smaller towns nestled in between. An, 18th century Tuscan house, it has been restructured and refurbished with preserving its architectural roots in mind, with floors in cotto and stone, antique furnishings, vaulted brick ceilings, and beautiful paintings. The large property offers a large private swimming pool for the adults and a small pool for the younger children, making this an ideal location for a large family reunion. The villa is located near Palaia, an 11h century town, famous for the quality of its truffles.
