Welcome to Madu's Countryhouse Cerchiaia, an authentic 19th-century Tuscan farmhouse surrounded by the nature of the hills overlooking the Arno Valley, just 20 km from Florence.
Set within a natural park and embraced by the quiet of the countryside, this place preserves the timeless charm of the most authentic Tuscany.
Here, days unfold slowly among golden light, fresh air and wide views over the gentle Tuscan hills, where nature, silence and landscape become part of the experience.
The swimming pool, nestled in the greenery of the natural park, is one of the most special features of the property. Open from June to October and reserved exclusively for guests, it offers beautiful open views over the valley and surrounding hills.
Around the pool there is a relaxing sunbathing area with loungers, and guests can also enjoy a small Pool House, designed as a convenient space to change and prepare before or after a swim. On warm summer days it becomes the perfect place to cool off, read in the shade or simply relax surrounded by nature.
Guests will have access to the entire ground floor of the farmhouse. The heart of the house is the spacious library-living room, a characterful space with walls of books, a piano, fireplace and TV. The antique terracotta floors and vaulted ceiling tell the story of the farmhouse, while natural light makes the space warm and welcoming. It is the perfect place to read, listen to music or enjoy quiet evenings.
The rustic kitchen, fully equipped, is designed for those who love cooking and sharing convivial moments. It features a gas cooktop, oven, refrigerator with freezer, kettle and coffee machine.
The large solid wood table invites slow breakfasts or relaxed dinners prepared with local products and accompanied by a good Tuscan wine.
Next to the kitchen is the dining room, elegant and authentic, with a table for eight guests and paintings on the walls. The stone vaulted ceiling and terracotta floor create a refined and timeless atmosphere, perfect for turning every dinner into a special moment.
The house offers four bedrooms, bright and furnished in classic Tuscan style. Two double bedrooms provide a warm and relaxing atmosphere with views over the surrounding park. The other two bedrooms feature single beds and maintain the same authentic character of the farmhouse, with wooden furnishings, traditional details and pleasant natural light. One of these rooms is decorated in Indian style, with authentic furniture and traditional textiles that give the room a unique and exotic atmosphere, creating a fascinating meeting between Tuscany and the East.
The spaces are designed to comfortably accommodate families or groups of up to eight guests.
The farmhouse sits at around 300 meters above sea level, immersed in the natural landscape of the hills. Thanks to its position and the thick stone walls typical of traditional Tuscan homes, the interiors remain naturally cool even during summer, and in the evening the temperature drops pleasantly thanks to the breeze from the valley. For guests' comfort, the house is equipped with fans in the bedrooms, while one of the double bedrooms also features air conditioning.
The three bathrooms combine modern comfort with traditional materials. One features an elegant ceramic sink set on a dark stone countertop and a glass walk-in shower, while the others offer spacious showers and refined finishes, maintaining a style in harmony with the architecture of the house.
Outside, the farmhouse opens onto a large garden with a furnished terrace. Here guests can enjoy breakfast outdoors, have lunch under the umbrella or relax with an aperitivo at sunset while the hills turn golden in the evening light.
Among the most charming spaces of the house there is also the winter garden, a veranda with a beautiful glass and wrought-iron arch that opens directly onto the park. The terracotta floor, natural light and plants create a bright and relaxing space, perfect for reading, working or enjoying breakfast in any season.
