New Year's in Florence

We are looking at booking something for New Year's in Florence.

We came across a celebration in Castle Torre Al Sasso Pontassive. Anyone attend this in the past or have any other recommendations for me?

Thanks!

We'll be in Florence as well. We made reservations for dinner and after are just going to wander from piazza to piazza. We'd thought about putting forth more effort but we seem to have a better time when we just wander. Plus, they have the lights festival going and the streets should be lovely and crazy :)

Thanks! that may in fact be what we do. Our trip is mostly unstructured so this would be fitting.

The town of Pontassieve is a fair distance from central Florence, 20-30 minutes by train. If attending the event there, you would either need to overnight or arrange car service back as there are no trains to Florence after about 10:30pm. Not sure about bus service, as I used the train when I visited (Ruffino winery is in Pontassieve).
