Casale Fontibucci

Originally an ancient watchtower in the Middle Ages, in the seventeenth century Casale Fontibucci was transformed into a farmhouse. Today, the buildings have been completely renovated, and equipped inside with all modern comforts while faithfully preserving the original aesthetic and architectural design of the buildings.

Casale Fontibucci has been featured, with numerous illustrations and an extensive description, in the book "The 70's House" edited by Wiley and Sons. The book describes the most important houses of the 70s; ". Casale Fontibucci ... was, "by repute, originally the home of Michelangelo's stonemason. The site of the house lies on a hill commanding a view down the valley of the Arno to Florence in the distance past the picturesque array of hilltop palazzi and villas in between".

In the midst of an unspoilt natural landscape and the characteristic peace of the gentle Tuscan countryside, the Casale Fontibucci bed and breakfast holiday home offers you all amenities for a pleasant and peaceful sojourn.

With a curved shape like a small lake, surrounded by flowers, shrubs, olives and cypress trees, our swimming pool is open from the end of May to September and, like the sun terrace, commands a spectacular view of Florence. It is equipped with garden umbrellas and deckchairs. Towels for the swimming pool are at guests' disposal.
