We are about 17 km east of Florence in Tuscany. We are located in the borough of Pelago, Our nearest town is San Francesco, but just over the river and 2 km from our house is the town of Pontassieve. Two towns divided by a river!
But more interestingly, we are at the gateway to both the Casentino and Mugello areas. Both hugely non-touristy and both beautiful and with amazing buildings, products and foods.

There is no shortage of towns to drive to (remember this is Tuscany and anything worth seeing is on a hilltop!). Days trips to visit a town or area are very doable.

Of course, Florence is just a 25 minute train-ride away (trust us, don't take your car).
But the very best place of all?
