Distances and Attractions
Buca delle Fate enjoys a privileged position in the Valdarno area of Tuscany, situated between the Pratomagno ridge and the nearby Chianti region, and positioned approximately halfway between Florence and Arezzo. The property is located just a few kilometers from the Autostrada del Sole, making it easily accessible from major Italian cities and international airports.
The surrounding landscape is one of the most evocative in the valley, distinguished by the presence of the so-called crags, dramatic rocky erosions formed following the drying up of a large ancient lake that once covered the Arno valley, and which many believe to be portrayed in the backgrounds of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. These formations offer enchanting scenery particularly at sunset, when shadows play across the steep walls and furrows of the terrain.
The property is accessed via the Setteponti road, the ancient route linking Arezzo and Vallombrosa, along which numerous CAI hiking and mountain biking routes depart, allowing guests to explore the entire area of the crags on foot or by bike. The surrounding countryside is dotted with rural architecture and Romanesque churches, including the famous basilica of Gropina, which dominates the village of Loro Ciuffenna, classified among the most beautiful villages in Italy.

Description
You will discover that the 'Balze' are a landscape of rare beauty, centuries-old examples of erosion that over the years have formed towers and rocky blades that rise majestically in the valley bottom, and that will catapult you into a suggestive, almost magical world.
The Agriturismo Le Balze is located in the heart of the Alto Valdarno, at the foot of Pratomagno, and 4 km from the village of Castelfranco di Sopra. The nearest shops and supermarkets can be found in Montevarchi or San Giovanni Valdarno, about 10 km away. Here, in the small, pretty towns, you can spend an evening out for dinner or organise an aperitif with friends.
The property is divided into three apartments resulting from the restoration of old farm outbuildings close to the main house where the owners live. Traditional materials such as wood, terracotta and stone were used in the renovation carried out to maintain the building's rural and peasant origins. All the apartments overlook a wooden porch on one side, where you will have your own private space equipped with table and chairs to spend the cool summer evenings at dinner or with your family or friends.
In the large, green garden you will have a practical barbecue and a table tennis. The swimming pool in common use is located at the back of the building (size 6x12 m, depth 1.40 m - open from 10 May to 15 September) and is completely fenced. Laundry and ironing facilities in a common room.
At Agriturismo Le Balze you can taste and buy excellent wine and extra-virgin olive oil, vegetables, fruit, and all the farm's products. But certainly one of its highlights is the small restaurant (maximum 25 seats - reservation required) run by the owners and located on the ground floor of their home, open both to the public and to guests of the agriturismo, where you absolutely must, at least for one evening, taste the delicious typical dishes, which are cooked using tasty local products.
