Borghettino di Ripoli - Nested on the sun-drenched hills Valdera
Apartment with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Swimming Pool
Originally an ancient watch tower, Borghettino di Ripoli goes back to the XIII century and has been sympathetically converted into apartments by a team of well known architects from Pisa.
Tuscany is a truly unique land despite being a rather large region, Tuscany answer's every tourist's expectations by offering a diversity of activities, only a short journey away. The best time to visit Tuscany is in the spring and autumn when the air flights are at their most competive and the temperatures are still 65 - 75 degrees centigrade.
The seaside, for those who cannot go without a swim in blue, crystal clear waters; the countryside for those seeking relaxation and tranquillity among green hills and scented woodlands; cities of art for those who love immerging themselves in the history, culture and emotions of the region's glorious past; the mountains, in winter and summer, for keen skiers or dedicated hikers.
A spacious two bedroom apartment with wonderful views and within a one hour drive to the coast and many local places of interest. Ripoli is the perfect base for exploring central and northern Tuscany.
The apartments have been completely restored in line with Italy's rigorous historical buildings regulations, which demand traditional methods and period materials including sandstone, open face brick, exposed wooden beams and terra cotta floor tiles.
After a refreshing swim, sitting alongside the pool is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the scenery, with its panoramic views.
