The river creates enchanting corners for hiking and observing: the engineering works for gathering water, the artifical canal system for carrying the water to the city, the caves. A particularly suggestive point is the Diborrato water falls, a 15m jump which is more than 10m deep, a sort of small lake where the locals used to go to cool off. Other places not to miss are the Grotta dell'Orso, the Conchina, the Masso Bianco, the Nicchia and the Spianata dei Falchi, each with its own particularities. This natural richness has been recognized with the institution of a protected area in the River Park of the Upper Val d'Elsa which includes the path of the river from the city of Colle Val d'Elsa which stretches from Ponte Santa Giulia to Ponte di Spugna and includes the Caldane, thermal springs which were known to the Etruscans and Romans. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000027885/3d52072f-6a1e-4294-8491-e30bc0d78a8f.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Alta Val d'Elsa River Park 6 min drive \- 4.7 km - Le Caldane Thermal Baths 8 min drive \- 6.1 km - Hedonistic Hiking 10 min drive \- 5.7 km - Sentierelsa Trail 13 min drive \- 10.4 km - Museo del Cristallo di Colle di Val d'Elsa 14 min drive \- 10.3 km ### Getting around - Monteriggioni Castellina Station 18 min drive - Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR) 56 min drive ### Restaurants - Bar San Marziale 9 min drive - Bar Rubino 8 min drive - La Bianca 13 min drive - Le Grazie 14 min drive - IL Colombaio 12 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Sweet home, the home of the small village have a pool? ### Is Sweet home, the home of the small village pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Sweet home, the home of the small village? ### What time is check-out at Sweet home, the home of the small village? ### Where is Sweet home, the home of the small village located? ## Have a question?

Sep 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Freundlicher Empfang, gepflegter Pool Die Wohnung im 1\. Stock liegt in einem Ferienhaus auf einem toskanischen Hügel, die kleine Straße hinauf ist steil und kurvig, nichts für z.B. Wohnmobile. Das Bett im "Elternschlafzimmer" hat eine neue, bequeme Matratze. Die Ausstattung der Fewo ist gut, über die kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten (Öl, Flasche Wein usw.) haben wir uns sehr gefreut. Der große Pool, den wir meist für uns alleine hatten, wird mehrmals wöchentlich gereinigt und gewartet 😀Einziges echtes Manko für uns: Leider gehört zur FeWo kein Außensitzplatz, also kleiner Garten oder Terrasse, dazu. Der Grillplatz wird, wie auch der Pool, von allen Feriengästen genutzt und wäre auch z.B. zum Frühstück im Freien oder Kaffee zu umständlich zu erreichen. Besonders bedanken wir uns für den sehr freundlichen Empfang durch Giovanni, den Neffen der Besitzerin, der nicht nur hervorragend Englisch spricht, sondern auch stets erreichbar war. ##### Cathrin R.

The living accommodation is situated on the first floor and access is via a short (100m) slope from the ample car park. The flat has a beautiful view and is tastefully furnished. The pool area is quiet and the pool is a good size for swimming. 2 sun beds and one sun umbrella are provided. The nearest supermarkets are about 10 -15 mins drive. Riccardo and Marta are very friendly hosts and were quick to respond to our needs. ##### Nicki H. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felix P.

Sep 4, 2018 #### Vacanza rilassante Con la mia famiglia, (mia moglie e mia figlia), abbiamo soggiornato presso questa struttura per dieci giorni dal 18/08/2018 al 28/08/2018\. L'accoglienza che abbiamo ricevuto da parte della signora Silvia che ringrazio pubblicamente, è stata splendida. La casa corrisponde in pieno a quanto visto sul sito, il posto è tranquillo con vista sulle colline toscane, si trova in una posizione da cui facilmente si possono raggiungere tante altre mete turistiche, tra cui Colle di Val d' Elsa, San Gimignano e Volterra, per fare la spesa si deve raggiungere (qualche chilometro) la località Gracciano dove si possono trovare dei super market. Consigliata a tutti coloro che vogliono prendersi dei momenti di relax lontano dal ritmo frenetico a cui siamo sottoposti tutti i giorni. ##### Giosuè M.
