This home is a charming family apartment set in a beautiful farmhouse, perched on the hill of San Jacopo. Outside facilities are shared with other apartments in the house – these include a large pool, an outdoor gym, a well-equipped playground for little ones and plenty of space for alfresco dining. The single raised bed in the second bedroom is suitable for an older child, and furry friends are welcome to join you here. There is the potential for some noise from neighbours, but if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere away from the big cities, this spot is ideal. For day trips, the city of Florence is around an hour away by car.
