Asta a Carmignano (PO) Via Asinai, 15, 59015 Carmignano

The cluster lies on the plain between Florence, Prato and Pistoia, with Monte Albano immediately to the south-west and low cultivated hills around Carmignano within a few kilometres. The Ombrone Pistoiese crosses the area. Poggio a Caiano is known for the Medici Villa of Poggio a Caiano, part of the UNESCO site of the Medici villas and gardens of Tuscany. Prato is the nearest larger town and has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections; Florence is also close for daily services and work but does not change the landscape score. The area is known for mixed plain-and-hill agriculture, including olive oil and the Carmignano wine zone on the nearby slopes.
