About Pontassieve
Pontassieve sits at a railway and road junction, which brought it heavy bombing in the Second World War. The Ponte Mediceo, commissioned by Cosimo I in the 16th century, has two red brick arches and the Medici coat of arms on its central pillar, and three of the four old city gates survive. The Sieve rises near the Futa Pass and joins the Arno here. Around the town are hills of vineyards and olive groves, and the area makes Chianti Rufina, one of the smallest zones of Chianti DOCG. The homes are spread over about 10 km, so check where each one is. Evenings are quiet.
Is Pontassieve right for you?
- Best for
- Wine lovers wanting a pool, with Florence by train
