Location Information

Nearest Airport: Florence Peretola 40 min Nearest serviced town: 5 min Nearest major city: Florence 36 min Driving time estimated by Google Maps Famous for its art and architecture, Florence is an obligatory destination for the first-time visitor to Italy. However, while exploring the historical center is something that cannot be missed, the pristine, studded landscapes and the enchanted medieval villages set on the famous Tuscan rolling hills surrounding Florence are well worth a visit. The most famous area to explore is the Chianti, a blessed land that covers a rather large wine-producing region of Tuscany, reaching from Florence to Siena, and all the way out to Pisa. Chianti's must-see sights are the wine villages of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole.
