Neighbourhood highlights

I am fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful and sought-after hills of Florence, just 8.5 km from the city center. So living in the countryside, but the city is really within walking distance.In fact, Florence is just 5 km away. Beautiful places to visit, such as Chianti, Siena, and many other locations, are very close by. Restaurants in the nearby hills offer real delicacies and great traditions of Tuscan cuisine. Scandicci offers a lot, many services, and one in particular, the tramway that can take you to the city center in less than 20 minutes, avoiding traffic and expensive parking.
