Castelfranco di Sopra Holiday Farmhouse, Tuscany, Italy

Grace's Hayloft, Immersed in the green heart of Tuscany


Description of holiday farmhouse in Castelfranco di Sopra, Tuscany

“The Fienile di Grazia” (Grace’s Hayloft ) is the perfect place to allow yourself some time to relax, immersed in the Tuscan countryside, and a unique opportunity to connect with a land rich in culture and tradition.

Situated at an altitude of around fourhundred fifty meters on the slopes of Mount Pratomagno, which divides the Greater Valdarno of Casentino, the Fienile offers, in addition to a mild climate and healthy air, an ample view of the Arno river valley. From here you can easily reach Florence (40 km), Siena, Pisa and Arezzo, as well as many other towns and medieval villages. Rome is just 190 kilometers away and the Mediterrenean coast is around 100 kilometers away.

The “Fienile di Grazia” is a former 80 square-meter hayloft that, through an elegant remodelling, maintains intact its original characteristics. On the ground floor you’ll find the rustic kitchen and the dining room. The full bathroom and bedrooms are on the second floor. On the ground floor there is a working wood-burning stove. The Fienile overlooks a large garden with a wood-burning oven, space equipped for meals or dinners outdoors, and available uncovered parking space for a car.

The Fienile is offered for touristic purposes to the renter for periods of one, two or three weeks. It’s indespensible to have a means of transportation available in order to visit neighboring places of interest. Not far from the Fienile is the original main house, which was originally part of a medieval tower (1300 A.D.), and which is currently occupied by people who can offer directions or help in an emergency.

Location description

The “Fienile di Grazia” (Grace’s Hayloft) can be found 2 kilometers from Castelfranco di Sopra, a village of medieval origins of 2,500 residents; from here you can reach the cities of Figline and San Giovanni in about fifteen minutes. During your stay you can receive all the information you might need to visit cities of artistic interest and other places of interest (nature preserves, hot springs, museums, pools,spa).

Upon request dinners of typical dishes from Tuscan and Italian cuisine can be organized with local families or at the hayloft itself. The foods served change according to the season, and food choices are based on their almost entirely local production. It’s also possible to have a meal made at home and pizza cooked in the wood oven. Such events are organized by a person other than the house representative and have their own fee.
There is, though, a Tuscan dinner included in the rental cost as a welcome gesture.
The “Fienile di Grazie” can make use of an internet access with a wireless connection.
In the summer season it’s possible to access the pools of neighboring agriturismos (farm inns) for free or at a small cost. It’s also possible to take classes in Tuscan cooking. It’s possible to have Italian language lessons with a qualified teacher at any ability level. It’s possible to find a guide for excursions to Protomagno, visits to vineyards, and excursions to cities of artistic interest. In the village of Castelfranco there are open tennis courts. 20 kilometers away there is a riding school that organizes excursions on horseback in the hills.
