- Travel Info: La Tinaia farm holiday was created from our love of this area and of nature, and from the desire to share, with friends from all over the world, the tranquillity, the beauty and fine living of this enchanting corner of Tuscany, only 15 minutes by car from Florence.
A holiday at La Tinaia becomes an ideal time to discover a unique artistic and naturalistic heritage and to sample the great quality of Florentine Chianti products: Chianti wine DOCG (controlled and warranted designations of origin), IGT (Typical Geographical Indication) wines and extra virgin olive oil that we produce.
A holiday is an occasion for relaxation in a comfortable apartment that we have personally designed, finished and furnished with particular care, to give you the feeling of “just like home.
Each window of this villa – which in its previous life was a great farm house – serves as a frame for a living painting.
The ample park-like grounds, in flower a good part of the year, provide a stupendous panorama of the surrounding countryside. This includes an area equipped for just “lazing around,” for eating al fresco and to enjoy the sun and the beautiful swimming pool with a panoramic view.
It would truly be a pleasure for us to guide you in the discovery of the real Tuscany and its traditions!
