It sits on top of a hill overlooking the Valle del Mugnone, a gorgeous valley that offers panoramic views of gently slopping hills cultivated with well-tended olive groves as well as views of the town of Fiesole and the city of Florence. Giovanni Boccaccio in his 13th Century Decameron, locates some of his stories in this valley.

About the host
Hosted by Andrea Passigli
My wife and our two children live on the property. My wife and I are professionals, she is a business administrator and I’m a Pianist and a Professor of Piano at the Conservatory of Ferrara. Our son and daughter, as well as managing the farm, are both University students.
Why they chose this property
I inherited this property. The vacation rentals help subsidize my son’s Agricultural firm 'Fattoria Il Leccio' that produces top quality olive oil.
What makes this property unique
Peaceful country stay overlooking one of the most beautiful valleys in Tuscany and enjoying a refreshing swim in the pool after spending a morning or afternoon immersed in the beauty of the Renaissance that is found in Florence or other nearby towns like Siena, Pisa, Lucca and many more. As well as tasting one of the world’s top quality olive oils.
