The local tourist offer is complemented by charming farm houses, that are idyllically set just in the heart of enchanting natural settings.

Pontassieve's highest part still retains the aspect of a Florentine fortified town, and its nineteenth-century rural village is totally surrounded by impressive fortifications. Pontassieve's picturesque old town is completely encircled by lush natural settings, that are peppered with splendid villas and enchanting parish churches and can be explored both on foot and by car.
The old town can be reached through three monumental entrance gates, Porta Filicaia and the fourteenth-century Porta Aretina and Porta Fiorentina. The city centre revolves around the Parish Church, that was rebuilt after the war in 1948, and the eighteenth-century Town Hall, that is hosted inside the elegant Palazzo Sansoni Trombetta.
Pontassieve's most representative landmark is the seventeenth-century  Medici Bridge, that passes over the river Sieve and crosses the entire city. Not to be missed is the splendid Church of St. Francesco, that is embellished by a beautiful XVII-century porch. Its interior cherishes precious seventeenth-century paintings and a famous sixteenth-century glazed earthenware depicting Madonna and Child.
