Visiting Florence − or Firenze, as Italians call it − is, of course, something special. But are you also looking for rural tranquillity? Then choose an agriturismo nearby. My Italy has a number of luxurious, comfortable agriturismos around this incomparable city of art. Some of these agriturismos are child-friendly. I – Margot – have personally visited and carefully selected them. So you can trust my selection.

Enjoying your holiday in the Italian countryside
An agriturismo is a farm with luxury holiday accommodation. This could be a room or apartment in a beautifully renovated country house, or a luxury villa. The farm often grows grapes or olives. They sometimes also produce jam, honey or cheese. You will therefore be staying in the Italian countryside, with respect for nature. A wonderful place to relax after a day in the city. No wonder that an agriturismo in Italy is becoming so popular.
Art City Florence
Florence is Italy’s supreme city of art and culture. It’s lovely just to wander through the centuries-old streets and beautiful squares. There are interesting shops, bars, restaurants and terraces everywhere. Have a look at the lovely goldsmiths’ workshops on the Ponte Vecchio. Visit the leather market behind the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (also known as the Duomo). The Duomo, with its enormous dome, is Florence’s most beautiful church. And of world fame is the Uffizi museum. And if you want to get an insight into the lives of the locals? Have a coffee at Caffè Pasticceria Serafini. Their pastry is to die for too!
An agriturismo near Florence
After spending a day in the city, what could be lovelier than to relax in an agriturismo in the country? My Italy offers several agriturismos in the vicinity of Florence. All of them with a pool. Some of them have their own restaurant, serving local dishes and their own products. We also offer child-friendly agriturismos with family apartments. Enjoyment for the whole family. From some of the agriturismos you can take the train to Florence. So you won’t need to look for a parking space in the city.
Personally visited and selected by Margot
I have personally visited and carefully selected every agriturismo that I offer. I have selected them for quality, atmosphere, authenticity and hospitality, amongst other criteria. I have lived in Tuscany for over 10 years, so I know the language, the culture and the agriturismos, as well as their owners. Would you like to hear more about the possibilities? Do contact me, I’ll be happy to advise you on your ideal agriturismo near Florence.

Vincigliata Adventure Park
This beautiful climbing park is only 10 minutes from Florence and has the longest courses in Tuscany. There are climbing courses for small children as well as teenagers and adults. There is also a Net Experience: sprung nets suspended 4 meters above the ground on which you can safely play and jump. No climbing harness is required for this. The Net Experience is suitable for children from 3 years old. For teenagers and adults with guts, there is the Salto Nel Vuoto (“jump into a vacuum”). From 15 meters high you will jump down! www.treeexperience.it
Pinocchio Park
When our son was born, my colleagues gave me a giant wooden Pinocchio as a gift. Because Italians are particularly proud of their own fairy tale. That is why in Collodi, the village where the story is set, there is even a Pinocchio Park. It was built between 1956 and 1987 as a theme park for children. It is not the usual modern amusement park, but rather a place that gives you the feeling of being in a living fairy tale. There are historic attractions, performances in the Marionette Theater and a route with statues retelling the story of Pinocchio. Meanwhile, the park also has modern play attractions and a playground. A special experience, even with young children. www.pinocchio.it.
Bakery Antico Forno Giglio
For fresh bread, you can wake me up at night. Every time I'm in Florence, I go to Antico Forno Giglio on Via Vincenzo Gioberti, 151R. This is in an elegant residential area outside the center. The stores, bars and restaurants are focused on locals rather than tourists.
Good to know: in Italy, bread is sold by weight. The price you see is the price per kilogram. So feel free to buy half a kilogram of bread; they are used to it. Often bread in Italy is white and extremely fluffy, but not at this bakery. They have delicious rustic breads made from antique Tuscan grains ground on stone (maccinata a pietra). Also, be sure to try the Catalana. This is a focaccia with Extra Virgin olive oil called Schiacciata. During harvest time - in September and October - they have Schiacciata con l'uva. This is bread with fresh harvest grapes. You definitely have to taste it!
