THE HOUSE The central part, in stone, derives from the transformation of a medieval watchtower for either Quona or Montefiesole castles, both reduced to romantic ruins. What was the barn belonging to the old farmhouse of Cafaggio di Sopra, has been transformed into an independent suite which can accommodate two people but it is more ideally suited to a couple. The house can host up to 11 people.

LIVING OUTDOOR - Cafaggio di Sopra is located in a dreamy green paradise, in an open and dominant position, on the crest of a hill (406m) above the Arno valley, guaranteeing coolness also during the long Florentine summers. With a glance it's possible to linger over Florence or to chase the soft profiles of the surrounding hills. The southern exposure and east and west openess render the place particularly light from the first rays of sunrise to the palpitating sunset in the evening. Even the night is an emotion. The sky is a sea of stars and in the silence, listening attentively, it's possible to “hear the grass grow”.
