Tourist activities

The House is stratigically located for those who want to visit the Chianti, the Vald’arno (Arno is the river of Florence) and the city of Florence, Siena and Arezzo. It is just few (about 2) km away from the village of Figline Valdarno and (about 6) from the entrance to the highway A1 (Milan – Rome).

Florence, Siena and Arezzo are more or less equally distant between each other from La Scampata. They are all easily reachable by car or by train from the very near (just 3 km away from the House) train station of Figline Valdarno (only 17 minutes by train to Florence and 35 to Arezzo).

Walking, biking and horse riding. The countryside and the hills around La Scampata are the ideal places for those who desire to practice such activities. There are quite a number of trails indicated by CAI (Italian Alpin Club). Routes going towards the Chianti (e.g. Greve, Impruneta o l’Ugolino) are ideal for bikers.

The 18 holes Ugolino Golf Club (county of Impruneta) is just about 20 km away from the House www.golfugolino.it

La Scampata swimming pool. It is the swimming pool shared among the owner of the houses of La Scampata. It can be accesed by the guests of the House as well as by the owners of the few other houses of the convent. All the owners are people living in Tuscany keen to keep a very quiet and discrete behavior and all that makes this place ideal for those who love piece and relax.

Thanks to being located right in the Chianti, it allows guests to follow the large number of itineraries where it is possible to taste wine, olive oil and food typical from this region. Upon arrival in the House, the guests will be provided with a list of such recommended itineraries. www.florencewine.it
