Description

The Farm Holidays Agriturismo Valleverde is situated halfway Florence and Arezzo as well as on the border to the Chianti Classico Area in Tuscany.
In the green of the Chianti hills, only 5 minutes from San Giovanni Valdarno away, in a very peaceful position, is situated the antique farmhouse Buca ai Falchi. It was once lying on the main connection road to Florence, Siena and Arezzo. The farm is composed of 40 ha of land, covered with wood, vineyards, olive groves as well as cultivation of fruit and vegetables according to season. The farm takes its name from the green valley (it. valle verde), a real oasis of peace.

The farm holiday itself was opened in 1997, after a complete restructuring of the antique farmhouse and the annexe buildings that were changed into apartments and rooms with bathroom, each with own terrace. During low and mid season there is the possibility to book short stays of 2 nights for the rooms and 3 nights for the apartments. Furthermore guests can book breakfast (B&B) or half board. There is a small farm restaurant with typical local cuisine and mainly farm products are used.

In the well-kept garden, right in front of the farmhouse, a huge swimming pool (14 x 8 m) with whirlpool, boccia and volleyball field, table tennis as well as barbecue area.
Relaxing in the pool or at the veranda, guests can observe from far the goats in the hills around the farm.
Next to the pool was created a wooden pavillion, offering space for up to 180 seats, for special occasions such as weddings. At the guest's disposal there is furthermore a laundry with washing machine and iron.

Beside the farm's goat, chicken and turkey breeding, Agriturismo Valleverde produces wine, olive oil, different types of jam, preserves as well as pickeled vegetables and vegetables in oil.
Only 3 km from the farm is situated San Giovanni Valdarno, birthplace of Masaccio and today one of the most important places of the Arno Valley near Arezzo. Already during the middle ages it had an important role in the area. Testimonial of these times are the narrow alleys, lined with important palazzos in San Giovanni Valdarno's historic centre. People can visit there the Basilica museum, Palazzo d'Arnolfo or Masaccio's birthplace.
