Our licensed holiday farm has been granted a 4-ear of corn rating and our family, which has owned the property since 1985, has been running it according to strictly organic principles since 1987. The last few hundred metres of the road leading up to the farm have purposely been left as a white gravel drive in order to preserve our natural setting, tranquillity, privacy and great wealth of flora and fauna. The structural and environmental characteristics of Il Praticino make it absolutely unique. It is, in fact, ideal for those seeking a holiday characterised by the utmost tranquillity, good wholesome cooking and many leisure opportunities, constituted by naturalistic, sporting and cultural activities, or simply for those who wish to relax beside the pool surrounded by marvellous scenery and perfumes. Indeed, in addition to its privileged location, in terms of both climate, which is ideal for the whole family all year round, and relaxing tranquillity, Il Praticino is situated at the centre of an area that boasts a rich artistic and cultural heritage: Florence 40 km – Arezzo 40 km – Siena 60 km – Chianti 30 km.
About halfway along the ancient Etruscan road of the Seven Bridges that linked Florence and Arezzo, also known as The Road of the Parish Churches, you encounter Castelfranco di Sopra, a characteristic medieval village that served as a stronghold in the days in which the Medici family dominated Florence and had to defend its territory against the forays of neighbouring Arezzo. As you climb from Castello, situated 400 m above sea level, to an altitude of 800 m, you will leave behind the chaotic rhythms that modern life imposes further down in the valley and enter our remote, private and exclusive world that is completely immersed in an unspoilt natural setting.
