This house is part of Villa Casabella "Casa Bella" is an ancient villa, built in 1796, surrounded by the beautiful Florentine hills. The villa had been built by the monks of the nearby monastery of Montesenario to host the numerous pilgrims who came from Florence; at that time they had to walk a day and a half to go from Florence to this famous sanctuary. "Casa Bella" was built to allow people to sleep and eat, and the day after they could continue their journey. The refurbishment of this house was completed 2 years ago, respecting the traditions and spirit of the period in which it was built. Today we are an organic farmhouse, we produce olive oil and vegetables. We are near to Montesenario, Lago di Bilancino, Siena, San Gimignano e Vinci.
