L'Olmo is situated in a secluded and elevated position, 600 metres above the village of Londa with spectacular panoramic views of a unique and undiscovered area of Tuscany known as the Mugello/Val di Sieve. The Mugello was the home of the Medici, men of great culture and patrons of artists and writers as well as businessmen and bankers. The lush green rolling landscape is dotted with tall cypresses, peaks and passes and many old Medici palaces and villas remain. The whole area is rich in culture and art and provides the perfect setting to explore and investigate or relax and enjoy the many riches the area has to offer. The area is served by 4 major airports - Florence, Pisa, Bologna and Forli and is easily accessed from the A1 autostrada. Londa is just 45 minutes from Florence by train or car and major Tuscan towns such as Siena, Pisa, Lucca and San Gimignano are easily reached for day trips.
