Montelupo Fiorentino is a pretty village, located just on the outskirts of Florence, that has been an important centre for handmade ceramics in Tuscany since the Middle Ages. Montelupo ceramics were traded and dispensed all across Europe and quickly became synonymous with quality and beautiful craftsmanship. Today, it is home to plenty of workshops still producing the pieces and a museum dedicated to the craft, the Museum of Ceramics in Montelupo. If you have found a vacation rental in Florence and are interested in Tuscany's long legacy of excellence in all of the arts but need a break from the busy historic centre and bustling museums of the city, this is a great place to soak up the region's history of artisanal prowess and even shop it, all while enjoying a slower pace and calmer lifestyle.

Guest Reviews for La Casina
Sehr schön gelegenes Haus umgeben von Olivenbäumen, super für Hundebesitzer da komplett eingezäunt und so gross wie ein halbes Fussballfeld. Der Pool ist super ca. 8x 4 Meter und man hat wirkliche Ruhe vom Alltag. Wlan kostenlos und eigentlich sehr gut ab und zu setzt es aus. Die Küche ist für kleine Mahlzeiten ausreichend ansonsten steht draussen ein Grill. Einkaufen kann man in der nächsten Stadt ca 5km. Emboli ca. 8 -10km. Das einzige kleinere Problem die Anfahrt zum Haus ist sehr sehr eng also so ein T5 oder dergleichen hat ein Problem der kommt nicht weit ausser man nimmt in Kauf das man sich das Auto verkratzt von den Bäumen. Die Anfahrt zum Haus sind ca. 2 km. Ansonsten keine Mängel sehr sehr sauber alles, die Besitzer sind sehr nett können aber nur Italienisch.
