Residenza Le Sante Marie
Independance right outside Florence in the Chianti Classico Area

The Sante Marie abodes are set on the hillside of Impruneta, charming village at the beginning of the Chianti Classico area. The Residenza Le Sante Marie is in the Falciani hamlet at about 4 km from the chief town of Impruneta. Set in a hilly position the place offers pleasant landscapes over the country and a special cool climate, even in full summer, due to the presence of deep woods of pines and oak trees which can be crossed by foot, departing from the Residenza, as far as the main square of Impruneta in about two hours of walking: a wonderful walk which allows you to visit the old town of Impruneta famous for its church, the cotto kilns and the excellent extravirgin olive oil.

Easily reachable from the A1 Motorway (Exit Certosa) and from the Siena Freeway from which the Residenza is about 5 km away, the resort represents a strategic point to visit Florence, the Chianti and Siena areas. Florence is just 12 km away from here and it is well served by public transportations, whereas Siena is reachable in 30 minutes by car. Within a range of one hour it's possible to get to a lot of famous towns as Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano, Greve, Volterra, Montalcino and so forth.

A nice and relaxing stay for country lovers at short distance from the most charming places of Tuscany.

Until 1985 the complex served as rural annexe of the farm "Podere Santa Maria" where a very good Chianti wine was produced. Later the country structure was transformed for getting two holiday apartments and other buildings related to the tourist activity.

The building consists of two L- shaped contiguous apartments which are let separately or together according to the number of guests. In this second case we can get just one apartment, without separation, at disposal of the entire group.

A large equipped garden (200 sq.meters wide) with barbecue surrounds the property. It has been fenced for children or animals safety. One side of the garden stands in the shade for relaxing, the other side in the sun to sunbathe.

In front of the apartments it has been made a laundry with washing machine and other facilities which also serves as storage for the garden equipment.

Outside the property two car spaces are reserved to the guests.
