The Bossi estate has belonged to a distinguished Florentine family since 1592, and provides an interesting and welcome retreat at any time of year. Beyond the main villa, facing south with fine views, is a group of houses each interesting and characteristic of the region. You may, on request, be shown round the cellars of the fattoria where you can buy their excellent wine or olive oil if you choose. Complimentary bottles of wine are provided in each house on arrival. Bossi offers an ideal combination of town and country holiday. The estate is set in tranquil, beautiful rolling countryside perfect for walking, fishing or riding. A rather steep lane past the house leads up through woods to a succession of different panoramas and meadows, ideal for picnics! Florence is only half an hour's drive away, with the further advantage that good train and bus services run there from Sieci (4km) if you want to avoid the hassle of city parking. Nearby Pontassieve is lively and prosperous with good restaurants, shops and a flourishing Wednesday market for clothes, household goods and food. The Autostrada del Sole is within easy reach, giving ready access to the rest of Tuscany and Umbria. Information on local events and facilities is provided at the cantina which is located at the main villa.
