Along the wine-route, a bridge links the Chianti and the Valdarno areas. The town of Ponte agli Stolli was set founded there, where two of the most beautiful Tuscan countrysides meet; it grews and developed as a trade center where travellers used to stop and where land products were sold (wine an oil, wood, corn, chest nuts, vegetables, fruit and cheese).
Nowadays even if time has passed, it still preserves its those traditions and offers besides a warm hospitality and delicious dishes the possibility to find a cosy and nice accommodations.
Surranded by intact copses, along two stream’s banks where one cam fish salmons there is a very peaceful place.
Here you can really get in touch with nature and with things that the modern technological progress has made us forget about.
It takes 7 minutes by car from Figline Valdarno and 15 from Greve in Chianti to realize a dream: that it means discovering Tuscany, the wine-routes and the Chianti, visiting Florence (which is easy to reach by car in 30 minutes, following the motorway for 19 km), Siena and Arezzo (40 minutes by car, 100 km from Pisa and from the sea).
Furthermore, you can enjoy the traditional country-life without giving up all the modern comforts: this is Villa le Fornaci.
