Location & Accessibility

Located in a rural area of Tuscany, the space offers a tranquil retreat that requires planning for mobility. The community provides a shared car for local errands, and carpooling is encouraged. For broader exploration, renting a car is recommended, and a pre-booked local taxi service is available.

Public Transport

Public transport options in this rural area are limited. The nearest major city and transport hub is Florence, approximately 30 km away. Access typically requires a car or pre-arranged taxi from Florence or nearby towns.

Car Considerations

A car is highly recommended for flexibility, especially for grocery shopping (10-minute drive) and exploring the region. The community provides a shared car for local movements. Parking is available on the property. Renting a car is advised for weekend trips or longer excursions.

Walkability

The immediate area is not walkable for daily necessities due to its rural, forested setting. Local transport relies on the shared community car, carpooling, and a neighbor's pre-bookable taxi service. The property itself is ideal for walking and hiking in nature.

Key Distances

Supermarket: 10-minute drive. Florence city center: Approximately 30 km/45-60 minute drive. The property is surrounded by forest, hiking trails, and historical sites like Medici castles and Etruscan archaeological areas.

Challenges & Tips

The primary challenge is the rural location, which limits spontaneous travel without personal transport. Planning grocery trips and using the shared car system is essential. Arrivals and departures are coordinated for Saturdays to streamline community logistics. Embrace the slower pace and plan ahead for supplies and travel.
