Description:Hotel Casci is a small family run hotel centrally located in the heart of the historical center of Florence, only 150 meters from Florence Cathedral (Duomo) and the Academy of Fine Arts (David), just 10 minutes' walk from the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio. Our hotel is located inside two palaces of the 15th century built at the time of the Medici family, and the rear part was a convent, hence comes a pretty special atmosphere of old-world charm, with original fresco ceilings and a maze of long carpeted hallways. Hotel Casci was started in 1926 by Mrs Casci and it was happily welcomed by the local press as the first hotel in Florence with hot and cold water in all rooms. Things have changed since then and it is now bigger and offers a lot more facilities.In central Florence:As the hotel is located in such an historical palace in central Florence, all the 24 rooms are different as far as space, décor and view are concerned - however they are all equipped with private bathroom and modern comforts such as air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat screen TV/DVD, telephone, safety box and refrigerator!Although we don’t have sparkling luxury décor, we are happy to welcome guests in 24 rooms that are extremely clean and comfortable, all offering en suite private bathrooms, new firm beds, air conditioning, wi-fi, etc. Several non smoking rooms are available on request.SINGLE ROOM:A room for one person only.DOUBLE ROOM:A room for two people with one large bed, i.e. usually for a couple.TWIN BEDDED ROOM :A room for two people with two twin beds.TRIPLE ROOM:A larger room for three people, with either a double bed plus a single one OR three twin beds.QUAD ROOM:A larger room for four people, with either a double bed plus two twin ones OR four twin beds.For larger families and small groups, we offer two quintuple rooms, i.e. rooms for five people with children’s bedroom in separate alcove off the main room.

Description:The Sunshine Village estate covers an area of 1,000 hectares (about 2,500 acres). It is situated at an altitude of 400 meters, ranging up to 900 meters on the crest of the Pratomagno mountains. The residential part, a convent dating back to the late 17th century and subsequently transformed into a farm, is surrounded by extensive olive groves. Woodlands, also part of the property, are characterized by the presence of springs and varied flora and fauna. The original 17th century convent, later converted into a farmhouse, has been carefully redesigned to offer today's guests both traditional charm and modern comfort. It is tastefully appointed with both antique furniture and contemporary pieces. Situated between the apartments and the olive press, the library and theatre represent an opportunity for the guests of SUNSHINE VILLAGE to meet, enjoy a cultural life and relax among a wide range of books and magazines, together with the areas for reading, talking, games and shows. The theatre and indoor areas are set up to host artistic and musical events, meetings and conferences. Outdoors, in the stunning scenario of the Pratomagno, among the olive groves and dry stone terraces, a number of paths lead through the wonderful private nature reserve, along the river Resco with its waterfalls, among the chestnut and beech woods. In the areas closer to SUNSHINE VILLAGE are a pavilion, on the borders of a small lake, where lunch can be had, or a moonlit dinner, and the tennis and football fields. The library The beauty of the original architectural elements of the old carpenter's workshop, the five trusses, the stone walls, the round arches, the spaciousness, are all elements which made it the ideal site for a library. The library, planned in full respect of the 1994 UNESCO programme, which sees this place as a symbol of easy access to multimedia information, offers the guests of SUNSHINE VILLAGE an opportunity to consult books, magazines, Italian and foreign newspapers, to follow recent events or get to know more about the history and culture of the area and of Italy. On the gallery floor of the library is the multimedia area: apart from giving free access to internet, the computers may be used for access to on-line information. The library therefore represents the successful union of tradition and computer science. The library space will be used for organizing art exhibitions, conferences and meetings. The theatre Situated between the two courtyards of the SUNSHINE VILLAGE, the Theatre, which maintains its ancient charm, is used as an entertainment area for guests, or for cultural activities and conferences. The most advanced technology of modern installations and equipment for the shows live alongside the old architecture of the room, endowing the place with a new charm. The woodland paths SUNSHINE VILLAGE is surrounded by eight hundred hectares of woodland, going from 600 to 1000 metres of altitude up to the crests of the Pratomagno mountains. When walking along the paths of the estate, the guests of SUNSHINE VILLAGE are surrounded by beech and chestnut trees, and the waters of the Resco river add further sound and colour to the scene. The estate is populated by many different species, such as wild boars, deer, pheasants and hares. One of the future plans of the estate is to rear animals in a natural state, such as the cinta senese pig and chianina cows, in the areas near the Pratomagno. The restaurant The old stables at the SUNSHINE VILLAGE have been completely redesigned and renovated to house our restaurant, whilst retaining the original character of the place: three octagonal chestnut pillars, plain brick barrel vaults, three large windows. This is the setting for the over 20-foot long showcase, in light-coloured wood, a generous pantry loaded with the products of the Fattoria, wine, vinsanto, oil, honey, marmalade, chestnut flour, potatoes, chickpeas, lentils, zolfino beans from Pratomagn these old flavours will lend their zest, in the different seasons of the year, to our house recipes and to the local cuisine of the Valdarno. Five sculptures in wood, representing a cane thicket, are placed around the room to separate each of the ten tables, to ensure atmosphere and charm, whilst the old family prints on the walls – horses and riders - bring back to mind the original use of the building. The yellow linen tablecloths, the elegant armchairs, the tables and ivory porcelain tableware bring warmth and light into the picture. Under the arches of the portico opposite the Restaurant we will serve breakfast or candle-lit dinner in summer, among stone capitals and rounded boxwood hedges. Biliard hall The square room underneath the huge cross vault is dominated by a large Renaissance open fireplace: on one side of the room we find the precious family billiard, a 1914 Della Chiesa, in another corner a wonderful French gaming table, and six antique pictures on the wall. An ideal room dedicated to games, conversation and entertainment. Connectivity A wi-fi switchboard guarantees full connectivity with Internet in the indoor areas of the Fattoria: it is therefore possible to check one's e-mails in one of the reading areas of the library, as well as download multimedia material during a conference in the theatre. All the apartments are supplied with telephone connections for those who don't have Bluetooth in their laptop. Business incentives The SUNSHINE VILLAGE's facilities are available to companies interested in organising conventions and events in a prestigious and refined setting surrounded by olive trees and hectares of pristine nature. The management of the reception services, offering the same attention to detail that distinguishes every interior space, can also organise important events, destined to satisfy the most demanding expectations and to guarantee an unforgettable experience for all participants. The theatre, the library, the swimming pool, the tasting room and the outdoor areas can be prepared to suit the requirements of any team-building programme or company meeting.... more info >>
