La Fornella is located in eastern Tuscany, just 18 kilometres from the city of Florence [local map | map of Tuscany]. Built in the early middle ages as a dwelling for the Vallombrosa monks who farmed here, it was greatly expanded during the Renaissance when the Vallombrosa Order reached the height of its wealth and power.
The monks' quarters have been restored and converted into three characterful holiday apartments, each of which is suitable for four to six guests. Each apartment has a beautiful north/south view over the 25 acre estate of olive groves and vines. The rooms have excellent natural light and have been decorated and furnished with impeccable taste.

Apartment Giotto: Kitchen/dining room with fireplace, two double bedrooms and bathroom. A single bed can be added to to each of the bedrooms.

Each apartment is available on a weekly basis at the following rates (EURO, per week):
