The Region
Fall under the spell of Prato and its province ! Its varied
landscape ranges from the green mountains of the Bisenzio Valley to a
vast flatland surrounded by the lovely Montalbano hills. The small
Province of Prato remains deeply attached to its culture that is a
perfect blend of history, arts and nature.
Florence, capital of the region of Tuscany is only a 20 km
drive away. The cultural and historical impact of Florence is
overwhelming. Discover the city with his monuments, museums, famous
palaces and bridges. One of the bridges in particular, however,
stands out as being unique – The Ponte Vecchio, whose most
striking feature is the multitude of shops built on it. The city is
one of Italy's most atmospheric and pleasant, retaining a strong
resemblance to the small late-medieval centre that contributed so
much to the cultural and political development of Europe.
