Property Description

You will find the Agriturismo Le Balze in the heart of the Alto Valdarno, at the foot of Pratomagno, and 2 km from the small village of Castelfranco di Sopra. All around is a natural landscape of rare beauty, which will captivate you from the first moment, characterised by the presence of the 'Balze', secular examples of erosion that over the years have formed towers and rocky blades that rise majestically in the valley bottom.
In about 30 minutes by car you will be able to reach Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. City of the ancient Medici family, a heritage not to be missed, with its artistic masterpieces, the colourful marble of the churches and the lofty architecture, the ancient bridges over the Arno river and the majestic noble palaces with their immense gardens adorned with fountains, sculptures, grottoes, staircases and paths.
The villa is divided into three independent flats, in one of which on the ground floor there is a double bedroom with a bathroom suitable for persons with disabilities. The structure was born from the recovery of old farm outbuildings close to the main house where the owners live, who will be, albeit in a discreet manner, a point of reference for all your needs.
The owners, thanks to careful renovation using traditional materials such as wood, terracotta and stone and comfortable furnishings, have ensured that the villa is perfect for spending a comfortable and restful holiday.
Villa Le Balze overlooks on one side a wooden porch, equipped with table and chairs and perfect for your dinners and evenings in company, and the lush garden where you will have a barbecue and a table tennis. On the other side, the house overlooks the swimming pool area (size 6x12 m, depth 1.40 m - open from 10 May to 15 September), which is completely fenced off and for the exclusive use of guests.
At Agriturismo Le Balze you can taste and purchase excellent wine and extra-virgin olive oil, vegetables, fruit, and all the products of the farm. In addition, on the ground floor of the house where the owners live you will find a small restaurant (maximum 25 seats), open both to the public and to guests of the villa. We absolutely recommend that you do not miss the delicious typical dishes cooked with love by the owner in the old-fashioned way, and made exclusively with local products.

Wir verbrachten zwei wunderschöne Wochen in der Villa Le Balze. Die Anlage ist hervorragend gepflegt und besitzt einen schönen großen Pool. 10 Personen können hier komfortabel wohnen. Mitten in einer einzigartigen Landschaft kann man relaxen und hat doch schöne Ausflugsziele (Florenz, Chianti, Arezzo,...) in der Nähe. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und man kann auf Vorbestellung in Ihrer Gaststätte gut und preiswert essen. Ein 3-Gängemenü mit allen Getränken kostet 20.- für Erwachsene und 10.- für Kinder. Einzig das WLAN ist schwach. Aber im Urlaub soll man sowieso abschalten. Die Gegend ist touristisch nicht so überlaufen und es gibt in der Umgebung einge günstige und gute Lokale (z. B. Pizzeria Tony in Faella).

In the middle of a unique landscape you can relax and visit beautiful destinations (Florence, Chianti, Arezzo, ...) nearby. The landlords are very friendly and you can order good and cheap food in their restaurant. A 3-course menu with all drinks costs 20.- for adults and 10.- for children. Only the WLAN is weak. But on vacation you should switch off anyway. The area is not too crowded with tourists and there are cheap and good places in the area (for example Pizzeria Tony in Faella).

Unsere Familie mit 7 Personen und Hund haben einen traumhaften 2 wöchigen Urlaub hinter uns. Die Unterkunft war super sauber und gepflegt. Wir wurden so herzlich von den Besitzern empfangen und haben am ersten Abend so wundervoll gegessen, dass wir uns entschlossen haben gleich den nächsten Tag wieder dort zu essen. Das Essen wurde absolut frisch und so lecker zubereitet (und es war unschlagbar viel) das wir dort 10 Tage Abendessen zu uns genommen haben. Die Besitzer inklusive der ganzen Familie mit Oma sind so zuvorkommend und liebenswürdig das uns der Abschied sehr schwer gefallen ist.

Superbe maison, propre, adaptée aux enfants, permettant aussi une autonomie si on est nombreux avec des rythmes différents. Grande piscine très agréable. Le cadre aux alentours est très beau également. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et le restaurant très bon. Nous reviendrons en famille ou entre amis !
