La Casa di Zefiro is a cozy family-run establishment overlooking the gentle Tuscan hills in the picturesque village of Castra, part of the Municipality of Capraia e Limite. Managed with passion by Alessandro Cenci, the villa was renovated in 2017, offering all guests an experience of comfort and tranquility. Located 400 meters above sea level, the structure enjoys a strategic position, allowing exploration of the historical and cultural beauties of Empoli, Vinci, and Montelupo Fiorentino, while the Montalbano Natural Park surrounds the area with its unspoiled nature.
The four rooms of the B&B, all equipped with private bathrooms, have been furnished with taste and simplicity, providing a warm and homely atmosphere. Each room, characterized by evocative names like Agrumi, Olivo, Rosa, and Salvia, offers a charming view of the characteristic hills, where olive groves and vineyards alternate. Every morning, guests can enjoy daily room cleaning and a change of linen every three days, ensuring a fresh and pleasant stay.
One of the highlights of La Casa di Zefiro is breakfast, a special moment where fresh and local products are served. Guests can choose to savor homemade cakes, croissants, fresh bread, and a selection of cold cuts and cheeses, accompanied by juices and Lavazza coffee. During the summer months, breakfast can be served on the panoramic terrace, offering a delightful awakening in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.
The facility also boasts an outdoor pool, reserved for guests, where one can relax under the sun, enveloped by the beauty of the landscape. The garden and solarium area, equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, offer further spaces for moments of tranquility and to sip a glass of Chianti while reading a good book.
Additionally, La Casa di Zefiro is an excellent starting point for discovering Tuscany. With the Montelupo Fiorentino train station less than ten minutes away by car, the most important Tuscan cities like Florence, Pisa, and Siena can be easily reached. There are plenty of opportunities to visit charming historic villages and artisan locations, renowned for their beauty and tradition.
Alessandro, the owner, personally dedicates himself to making every stay special, with the desire to help guests discover and appreciate the culture, cuisine, and history of this corner of Italy.
