La Limonaia - originally the lemon hothouse - is a separate part of the ancient Villa Battaglia, a country house built in the 1500's at Bagno a Ripoli on the Tuscan hills covered by olive trees, with magnificent view of Florence.
The center of which lies at a distance of 3 miles. The bus stop is at 700 mt and allows to reach Bagno a Ripoli (with its shops and services) as well as the downtown of Florence.
The Highway Firenze Sud is at 2 miles and allows to reach Siena, Lucca etc.
A private garden, in romantic eighteen-century style lies in front of the Limonaia and open like a terrace on Florence and the surrounding countryside. Its central location makes it the perfect starting point for about ten itineraries which can be covered by foot or bike, as well as offering sports, cultural and relaxing activities including visits to ancient farms producing high-quality olive oil, wine, fresh vegetables and eggs.
Moreover, by a 15 minutes drive along "the Chianti way" you may reach the Ugolino Golf Club, a particular itinerary along which may be visited noble Tuscan castels, the oldest and most famous Tuscan wineries as well as the small towns of Greve in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti, Brolio etc.
