Serviced Apartments in Impruneta

Sitting on top of a hill, surrounded by lush olive groves and fragrant pine forests, this delightful town in the Florence province of Tuscany offers a myriad of architecture, museums, traditions and a thriving terracotta industry providing plenty of interest, intrigue and entertainment for any discerning tourist holidaying in Impruneta.

To discover more about terracotta production in this region take a short stroll from your Impruneta serviced residence or holiday letting to the Artenova Terracotta Workshop. Here they produce some exquisite pieces, both mould made and by hand, from urns and large, impressive garden ornaments to smaller items such as bowls, jugs and cups.

Watch the craftsmen as they skilfully work the clay into the desired shape with what looks like relative ease. Discover the entire process of production and view the vast kilns used for firing the pieces. At the end of the tour why not pick yourself up a couple of pieces as the perfect, traditional souvenir of your holiday in Impruneta.

Much of the incredible architecture of this region is within walking distance of your apartment rental or aparthotel in Impruneta and one place that is an absolute must see is The Sanctuary of Santa Maria. This incredible structure was built in the mid 11th century over the top of an ancient Etruscan place of worship which dated back as far as the 6th century BC.

Inside the sanctuary you will find some lovely works of art including an image of the Madonna, said to perform miracles, to which the building was dedicated. Legend has it that this particular piece was actually painted by St. Luke. A really intriguing visit.

If you are staying in an Impruneta holiday apartment or holiday let in mid October then you will be privy to the week long festival La Fiera di San Luca, the Fair of St. Luke. Although originally a livestock fair there are now more attractions for all to enjoy. You can browse the numerous stalls and admire some delightful folk art, learn the history and tradition of local farming, taste delicious dishes produced from locally sourced meats and, at the end of the festival, watch a spectacular firework display.
