Il Ponticello
Vaiano (Prato)
- Traveller rating:
The ?Azienda Agricola Fabio' is situated a few kilometres outside Prato, in the foothills of the Calvana mountains, in the little rural village of Fabio, which has ancient Roman origins. The area has a scenic landscape: the dark green of the woods contrasts with the light green of the meadows and slopes, with natural terraces dominated by olive groves. The farmhouse and the hayloft of the Ponticello farm have recently been restored and a comfortable Agriturismo has been created.

The ?Agriturismo' is situated on a little hill near a stream, in a sunny position, surrounded by the greenery of the woods, and overlooking the olive groves and the meadows.
The beauty of these ancient cottages guided us in the restoration: they didn't want to divide the large interior spaces so that we could accommodate our guests in fully-equipped lofts which retain the atmosphere of ancient farmhouses, the wooden beamed ceilings, the lovingly-restored old family furniture, the scenic views from the windows, allow our guests to have their holidays in a friendly and romantic atmosphere.
The Agriturismo has four lofts, each with one or two bedrooms and a private bathroom, a large living-room and a fully-equipped kitchen including dishwasher and microwave oven. Outside each loft, there are plenty of green fields and convenient parking spaces.
