About this property

La Vecchia Posta Holiday Apartment in the heart of Tuscany - Free WiFi

Very spacious and comfortable, in the center of the village. Built in 1920 by my grandmother, the house has always been the home of my family.

The house has been recently renovated, with attention and respect for the constructive and affective features; in fact, some grandmother's furniture has been preserved. It can comfortably accommodate up to five people.
Is on a first floor. The lightblue bedroom overlooking the garden has a double bed and the bathroom with private shower. The room has an antique wardrobe of the nineteenth century and a large and comfortable double bed. The living area is very large, it is decorated with "patinating" technique, with light orange walls and light green ceiling; in the comfortable living room sofas, library with tourist guides and books available for consulting. The kitchen is microwave, electric oven, refrigerator and other small appliances, Nespresso machine, kettle, extendable table with chairs and TV. The large terrace, open from the living room, is equipped with a parasol, table and chairs. Adjacent to the kitchen, a small veranda / laundry room with sink and washing machine; from the terrace overlooking the garden.

On the ground floor, the large entrance with the grandmother's furniture, a bathroom with a shower.
The large private garden, with a view to the back of the house. Here you will have the opportunity to enjoy moments of relaxation, fitness or simply leisure, there are chairs and exercise equipment at your disposal.

In about 10 minutes you can reach three public swimming pools: Las Vegas in San Giovanni Valdarno, Municipal Pool in Montevarchi and Valdarno Pool in Terranuova B. ni.

The house, located in the center of the village of Cavriglia, remains very convenient for any need; a few meters you find the pharmacy, the restaurant the Osteria dei Trenta, the Pizzeria La Cantinetta and then in the central square the ice cream shop, the supermarket, the tobacconist bar, the laundry etc.
The village of Cavriglia is considered the gateway to the Chianti area, the splendid Tuscan landscape where you can immerse yourself by taking the minutes by car. An important landscape from the trees and vines, interspersed with woods and pastures, where you can taste the products of this marvelous territory, bump into the works of great Renaissance artists or even contemporary artists who have chosen Chianti as a stage for their work.
Cavriglia enjoys a central position with respect to Florence, Siena and Arezzo, all of which is an ideal base for visiting all of Tuscany. Easily accessible to major cities of Tuscany, Lucca, Pisa, Livorno, but also Montalcino, Pienza, the Crete Senesi, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Certaldo, Volterra, Vinci, Anghiari, Sansepolcro ... the list is really along the excursions of the Tuscan territory.

Marvellous Stay at Vecchia Posta
Recently we have spent 10 wonderful days in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Apart from all the different places of touristic interest we really enjoyed staying at Vecchia Posta in Cavriglia, a quiet little town 60 km south of Florence. The former post office constitutes a lovely old house, which has been embellished on a grand scale. Vecchia Posta is surrounded by a big garden and offered more than enough space for the three of us as well as all comfort and facilities we were looking for. Eventually we would like to thank Lucia, who is the owner of the house, for her great hospitality and kind assistance on several occasions! Zahra, Melika & Dirk

Villa typique au coeur d'un village toscan sans touristes:immersion garantie !
On se sent immédiatement chez soi dans la maison de lucia, très propre et très bien équipée et avec deux terrasses. Pas besoin de prendre la voiture pour aller faire ses courses, on trouve de tout au village, même un glacier ouvert jusqu'à 22h30. Cavriglia est très bien située entourée de vignes et d'oliviers, à 10' de montevarchi où l'on peut prendre le train pour Florence et à 45' de voiture de Sienne. Seul bémol, la grosse chaleur et les moustiques nous ont empêchés de profiter du jardin et des ballades dans la campagne toscane au plus fort de l'après-midi. Nous avons déjà envie d'y retourner. Merci encore à Lucia , nous avons goûté à la dolce vita pendant 2 semaines !

15 jours idylliques en Toscane
La Vecchia Posta de Lucia est très agréable, confortable et très bien amenagée. Lucia nous a très bien accueilli et nous a laissé des petites intentions qui permettent de se mettre dans le bain. La proximité des petits commerces est un atout appréciable pour les courses de tous les jours. La location est très bien équipée pour cuisiner. Pour les sportifs, il y a deux pistes à moins d'un kilomètre qui permettent de courir ou de faire du vélo sans se soucier de la circulation. La Vecchia Posta est idéalement située pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent visiter la Toscane et plus particulièrement la région du Chianti.

I love traveling and meeting new people and new friends

Why they chose this property

I was born and raised in this house built by my grandparents and where my family has always lived.
Life has brought me to Florence, where I live and work, but I always come back here with great pleasure and every time I realize how comfortable and welcoming this house is.

What makes this property unique

The garden is the real added value of this dwelling: we are in the village but with a large private outdoor space that is truly enviable.
