Vacation Rental Description

Zigolo is one of the apartment of a restored ancient building. This building has had various uses in the past, accomodating animals, families and pupils, too! It used to be the elementary school for this part of the country. Now it is a complex with beautiful views on the surrounding countryside that hosts 6 apartments, all tastefully furnished in a simple Tuscan style.
Just outside your door, there is a very nice part of the garden. It is provided with garden forniture, so that you can relax and have breakfast, lunch, aperitivo and dinner alfresco. Not to mention after dinner relax with your family, friends, a good book and some very good Chianti wine!
Zigolo is on the ground floor. There is a large living room with double sofa-bed, dining area and kitchen, a double bedroom, a bedroom with two beds (that can be arranged in a double bed if you want) and bathroom with shower. Please tell us if your children are boys or girls, we will be happy to put bedspreads with their favourite cartoon characters on their beds.
Our beautiful swimming pool, with a shallow end perfect for the children, is situated in our own characteristic olive grove. There is also a BBQ house for yummy Fiorentina steaks (we will be happy to give you tips on where to shop and how to cook it properly)!
This apartment is loved both by couples and families, with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during the stay. It is situated in a peaceful and panoramic location, immersed in the green hills of the Parco delle Cerbaie and in the Padule di Fucecchio (unique area where even storks come to nest). It is in the heart of Tuscany, with the art cities of Pisa, Lucca, Vinci, San Gimignano, Volterra and Firenze within very easy reach and many lesser know treasures still to be explored nearby.
Private parking.
A nice bar / restaurant / pizzeria (also to go) is conveniently located less than 1 km away (pleasant and easy walk) and more typical trattorias are less than 10 minutes away.
5 minute easy drive to town and well stocked shops as in Fucecchio there are typical restaurants, pizzerie, wineries, characteristic shops, shopping centres, sports grounds (tennis, golf, horse-back riding facilities).

Owner Location Comment

On the penultimate weekend of May the town of Fucecchio hosts the traditional horse race Palio delle Contrade. The Palio delle Contrade is an important kermesse, a sort of commemoration of the Contesa which took place in Fucecchio around 1200. The last Palio performed on June 14th 1863: in that moment, the Giostra was buried, until today, when the twelve contrade give life to this old challenge. It is a day that passionates of traditional festival should not miss: an historical parade takes place in the morning, while the horse race is held in the afternoon, at Buca del Palio.
