The
Outside
From the train station, it is an easy five-minute walk through small streets lined with local businesses — a neighbourhood bar, an antique shop, a painter’s studio — offering a glimpse into everyday life beyond the tourist routes. As you approach the tower – one of two historic town gates that once marked the main routes through the old centre – the surroundings gradually quieten. Through a private gate, you enter a newly created and intimate terrace, designed as a calm threshold between town life and home. From here, the main door leads you into La Porta Fiorentina – a peaceful retreat, discreetly tucked away within the town.
By foot.
La Porta Fiorentina is set within one of Pontassieve’s historic town gates, part of a pair of towers that once marked the main routes through the old centre. Today, the surrounding streets are home to small local businesses, cafés, and workshops, offering a glimpse into everyday Tuscan life.
