Amazing location, fantastic holiday
A huge thank you for a fantastic holiday! The beautiful house and setting were perfect while the excellent pool, air con, spacious rooms and amenities ensured we had a brilliant family holiday, despite a 40 degree heatwave. The villa’s proximity to Florence and so many other locations is obviously a pivotal feature, but it’s the villa, its grounds and the views down the hillside that are most remarkable. It’s an amazing location that I’m struggling to find superlatives for - it’s simply stunning. Thank you again - we had one of the best family holidays ever!

Beautiful relaxing property
My parents and partner and I were lucky enough to spend 9 nights here. The house is large and fitted out with good quality furnishing. This house is used and well lived in by the owners so it is not your regular holiday rental. After arriving we felt very much at home for 9 nights and it was hard to leave the place to explore Tuscany. The beautiful pool is set back from the property and we used it daily. The olive tree next to the pool has a day bed/tree house which was perfect for reading. Property is extremely private and peaceful we would highly recommend it to anyone. Florence was an easy drive away and close by a large shopping centre had everything we needed to stock up for our stay. We had a local Lady Monica come several times and she cooked for us and kept the house clean. It really was such a lovely holiday.

Charming farmhouse in a stunning setting.
Our stay at this charming farmhouse exceeded our expectations in every way! The house is lovingly and artfully restored and updated, rustic and elegant at the same time. It's comfortable and well equipped with a great kitchen and wonderful books. The grounds are gorgeous; the photos simply cannot do them justice. The home is perched on a small mountain accessible on a windy, semi-private drive, surrounded by olive groves. The pool overlooks the valley with a stunning view. It's difficult to want to leave the property to do the many interesting nearby excursions! We went to all the restaurants recommended by the very gracious homeowner, and enjoyed them all. Our favorite was Da Delfina, which entered the rankings of my top 20... anywhere. Another highlight was our tour and lunch at Capezzana, which the homeowner facilitated. Beautiful wines and award winning olive oil , enjoyed in a Renaissance villa. Our lunch was delicious and cooked by the cooking school there. The home is really well located, with a short drive to nearby Signa or Lastra a Signa where one can access the train. Getting into the city center of Florence is a breeze and takes about 20 minutes with trains running frequently. We also drove to Lucca one day and wished we had had more time there because it is a completely charming walled city. The guys did a bike tour with Ibiketuscany and loved it, but it was quite challenging. The homeowner is very accommodating and helped us with suggestions and arrangements. I do recommend having the cook prepare a few meals. When we arrived late and jet lagged, there was a wonderful meal waiting that was very delicious. We had her cook for us another night as well, and it is quite a treat after a long day of touring! So, we cannot recommend the property more highly!

A most charming house in a fantastic location
We had a fantastic stay in this very Tuscan yet personal house hidden in the most charming part of the region. To wake up every morning with the most spectacular view and drink the morning coffee while looking out on the hills and smelling the fragrance of all the flowers in the garden, have given us a remarkable memory. Even if we are a big family, everyone found their own space in the house and garden and the vincinity to Firenze and other pretty villages made it possible for everyone to find something to do during all four weeks of our stay. The owners engagement and service mindness made the stay even better than what we ever could have pictured. There is no question we will come back to this place in the future.
