Bed& Breakfast Casale Fontibucci

Located in one of the most fascinating and evocative hillside areas in Florence, Casale Fontibucci, bed and breakfast and vacation home in Florence, is surrounded by olive-groves, cypress trees and vineyards. A convenient 20 minutes from Florence, the beautiful estate offers a fabulous view of the city from windows and gardens. A vacation paradise! Originally an ancient watchtower in the Middle Ages, and later said to have been home to Michelangelo's stonecutters, in the seventeenth century Casale Fontibucci was transformed into a farmhouse. Today, the buildings have been completely renovated, and equipped inside with all modern comforts while faithfully preserving the original aesthetic and architectural design of the buildings. The Bagno a Ripoli area of Tuscany, where the bed and breakfast and vacation home Casale Fontibucci is located, is rich in art and culture. Excavation in the south of Bagno a Ripoli has revealed ancient structures from the Roman Empire (Third Century B.C.).
