TENUTA CANTAGALLO This is a 200 hectare property in the heart of Montalbano, a hilly area west of Florence (28km). The farmhouse, which dates to the beginning of the last century, is situated at the top of a hill with a splendid view of the surrounding countryside featuring lush woodlands, olive groves and vineyards. Inside the building, whose original architectural features have been restored, there are 8 apartments; 4 on the ground floor and 4 on the first floor. In the adjoining cottage there are two other apartments on the ground floor, with private entrance (Fienile and Nido).
Each apartment, furnished in typical Tuscan style, has wooden-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and fireplace in the living room. Each has its own outside area with garden furniture; in the garden for the apartments on the ground floor and with scenic terraces for the first floor apartments. There is a common guest area with gazebo, barbecue, wood-fired oven, swimming pool (15 x 8 - open May/Sept), tennis, five-a-side football, children's playground and shop with farm produce.
The farm, in fact, produces IGT and DOCG wines, extra virgin olive oil and various kinds of oil-preserved products. This is an extremely favourable location for visits to the area's most famous "places to see".
