Italian Country Estates - Petrognano, Florence East, Tuscany

Traditional Tuscany's Country Estate pages allow you to view any of our Italian properties that have two or more self catering apartments on site as a whole. This way you can see under the 'accommodation' heading how many apartments are on a particular estate and how many people those apartments will sleep. The self catering apartments listed under the 'accommodation' heading all have clickable links to take you directly to an individual description of that accommodation along with its current availability.

These pages are especially useful for family groups who are perhaps looking for one or two apartments on a larger estate, for couples who are looking for smaller estates with only two or three properties maximum or for larger parties who are perhaps planning a reunion or wedding. 

If you are specifically looking for an villa or apartment in Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche and Lazio and want to search by date availability or number of bedrooms etc, you can use the drop down menu in the Property Finder and select 'villas and apartments' for self catering apartments with a shared swimming pool or 'private villas' for a selection of independent villas with private pools.

Estate Overview

Set in a wonderful Tuscan landscape, the 15th century villa of Petrognano was the summer palace of the Bishops of Fiesole until the present owner's family bought it in the 1890's. The estate stands in its own woodlands in the peaceful region of Pomino, famous for its wine and olive oil, and just 30km from Florence. Surrounding the villa and dotted over the estate are several large farmhouses which have now been converted for holiday use. These houses have been developed to retain all the character of the original buildings and, in keeping with their origins, are styled and furnished very simply. 

Excellent wine and olive oil are produced on the estate. The estate has the added advantage of its own small country Inn, Praticino, with a good restaurant and bed & breakfast facilities with seven double or twin bedrooms. The restaurant's food is traditional and authentic focusing on seasonal produce and good quality ingredients. Here, after a stroll across fields, you can enjoy traditional local dishes and a glass or two of wine while admiring the views from the vast terrace that overlooks a valley of vine yards and olive groves.

It is as pretty here in the autumn and spring as it is in the summer months and since Petrognano is on the route to the Passa di Consuma, it is also a pleasant place to stay for Chritmas or later, with the possibility of skiing.

The estates swimming pool is discreetly placed below the Inn so that it shares in the lovely view without otherwise encroaching on it. The pool is for the use of guests of the farmhouses and B&B only. A conveniently sited tennis court is also available to guests and is situated on a terrace just below the swimming pool.

The houses here are rustic and simply furnished, making Petrognano ideal for those who love the idea of a simple and authentic way of life in a beautiful country setting.
