Il Poggetto

Amidst the lush, tree-covered hills, valleys, and winding roads of the famous Chianti wine region of Tuscany, you might come across the impossibly charming Villa La Canonica Di Pietrafitta, a unique and charming property that crowns the sweet little hamlet of Pietrafitta, 5km from the town of Castellina in Chianti.

This lovely stone building is impossibly pretty and boasts endless character. A former priest’s home, Villa La Canonica Di Pietrafitta is made up of an old converted church with a bell tower and different little stone buildings that have been combined to form one impressive property within a paved courtyard. The result looks like a little hamlet in its own right and gives guests the sense of having taken over a little Tuscan town for their time on vacation in Tuscany!

The pretty town of Impruneta boasts great proximity to Florence (it is in the metropolitan area, around 14km away from the city), a location among the rolling green hills and vineyards of Chianti. It is also impossibly pretty and charming in its own right, with a wonderful historic core featuring elegant palazzi, wide piazze, and leafy greenery throughout. Residenza Del Dosco is a gorgeous duplex apartment in a historic building right in this beautiful old town and is the perfect place to experience all the delights of a dream getaway in Tuscany…

Dreaming of a vacation rental in Florence and time spent exploring the endless incredible cultural attractions of the city? Considering a visit to the Uffizi Gallery? Well, then these are the questions that you are going to need answered to plan a perfect visit…

What Are The Average Wait Times For The Uffizi Gallery?

While the option to get skip-the-queue or fast-passes exists, the average wait time for the Uffizi Gallery is already pretty short nowadays due to online ticket booking and many fast-pass tickets will not actually get you through the queue for security checks any faster. So, don’t worry, if you have booked a villa in Florence and want to see the Uffizi during your time in the city, you won’t have to waste all day lining up for this most famous and unmissable tourist attraction! You simply need to book your ticket online for a certain time slot and show up around fifteen minutes prior to your official entry time. Most people can expect to wait five to twenty minutes in the queue, allowing visitors to pass through security. As you no longer have to collect pre-booked tickets physically at the box office, there is also one less thing to queue for.
