The apartment was comfortable & homey, & the hillside view of the Tuscany hills was beautiful. Alvaro was a gracious host that went the extra mile to make sure our stay was the best it could be. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a hideaway outside of the hustle & bustle of Florence. Thank you Alvaro we look forward to seeing you again sometime soon!

Tranquil stay outside Florence

We enjoyed our stay in this charming and updated farmhouse. Our host Alvaro was helpful and communicated very promptly and clearly. Some things it's important to know about the property: 1. The roads leading in are very winding, 1-lane (2-way) roads and can be challenging especially at night. You have to execute an uphill 3-point turn to get into the driveway. If you are not comfortable with this kind of driving, it's not a good fit for you. 2. Driving into Florence is pretty easy, but takes ~30 min and you will need to pay for parking. Drive to bus is an option but takes a while and the buses can be unreliable (ours had special changed routes and schedules so it was a long trip). 3. The area of this rental is quiet and peaceful; there are no stores or restaurants in walking distance. There is good hiking nearby. 4. There is one bathroom, and neither the second bed (foldout) in the 2nd bedroom nor the sofa was very comfortable. We found the kitchen fairly well stocked, and appreciated being able to do laundry and dry it easily on a provided rack. The wi-fi worked perfectly. If the description suits what you need and you are OK with the location, it's a lovely place and the hosts are wonderful people.

A beautiful and picturesque property! Alvaro and Viviene are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We came over for the MogoGP and the Mugello circuit is 30 minutes drive away (longer on the Sunday due to much more traffic) and coming back to the peace and tranquility after a hectic day at the track I was bliss.Florence is also only a 20 minute drive away. A car is a must due to the location but worth it for the spectacular views :) Leanne & Andy

Cosy villa in the Tuscan Hills

The house is beautifully situated overlooking a Valley full of olive trees, and ultimately the city of Firenze (Florence). All the conveniences are there - the place is well equipped and very comfortable. Our hostess (and her son) were very accomodating and helpful. The weather turned a little cool and our hostess kindly brought over wood for a fire, making for a very cosy evening! Unfortunately we did not get to use the hot tub but it looked very inviting. As with most locations in Tuscany, be prepared to drive on hilly roads that are quite narrow and sometimes very steep. Still, the drive is worth it once you get there!

Beautiful, peaceful, farm-like atmosphere, near Florence

This was a great stay in a beautiful location near Florence. We didn't want to stay in the city, so chose this lovely house, with many amenities. The host is a nice lady who was very helpful and friendly. She even helped us to reserve tickets at the Uffizi museum in Florence. There is a great hot tub to soak in as you watch the lights of the city down below the mountain. Florence is about 20-30 minutes away, and very convenient by bus. I wish we had more time there, and will recommend this place whole-heartedly.

Tuscan Honeymoon

We had a wonderful stay at Viviannes property. She maintained the perfect balance of giving us our privacy and being available should we need anything. The property was clean and tidy with amazing views of Florence and the country side. She even brought us fresh cherries picked from the property and baked us a breakfast treat the day we had to leave. We are Americans and rented a car --be prepared for a shock when navigating the tiny roads up the hillside. In the end it was all worth it! Convenient location, beautiful scenery and lovely hostess!

Clean, tranquil, hospitable

Viviane is a wonderful host. She helped with transportation which was our only challenge with this location since we didn’t have a vehicle. Taxis are 35 to 50 Euros from the city center. However, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The house was exceptionally clean and functional. The location is very serene. I wish we could have stayed a month!

Fantastic house, spectacular view

We absolutely loved this house and the location. We found the property to be very peaceful and tranquil. The view of the countryside, with Florence in the distance, is spectacular. Each day we traveled to different locations in Tuscany, but one of the more enjoyable parts of our day was returning to the property and enjoying some great Italian wine and hors d’oeuvres on the patio. Our only real regret was that we did not spend a whole day just simply relaxing at the property. The house itself was spotless and very well equipped. Although we ate out for most dinners, the kitchen had everything that you would need if you were to prepare your meals at the house. Vivian was a excellent host who was committed to seeing that our needs were met. I would fully recommend this property if you are visiting the Florence area. I know that we would not hesitate to return to this property in the future. Thank you Vivian for making our stay enjoyable and memorable.

A Truly Special Easter Holiday

Our Easter holiday in Italy was simply unforgettable. Alvaro and his family welcomed us so warmly – we felt at home from the very first moment. The accommodation is a dream, with breathtaking views of Florence and surrounded by beautiful nature. There are wonderful hiking trails everywhere, charming little restaurants, and so many lovely details that made our stay truly special.Our children absolutely loved it, and we enjoyed every single minute. Of course, there were a few small negative things, but that’s just part of the experience – it makes the memories even more real.It was a time full of happiness and beautiful moments. We will definitely come back with all our hearts. Thank you for everything!

Einfach nur fabelhaft

Es war einfach einer der wunderbarsten Urlaube, die wir je verbracht haben. Dank auch an unsere Gastgeberin, die immer hilfsbereit war und geduldig alle unsere Fragen umgehend, umfassend beantwortet hat. Der Blick auf Florenz von der Terasse und vom Schlafzimmerfenster ist einfach atemberauend, unbeschreiblich und unvergesslich. Die Stadt erreicht man mit dem Auto sehr schnell, einfach und gut. Wir haben in der Regel im Parkhause Parterre an der Via del Ponte Rosso 4 ganztägig geparkt. Angefangene Stunde kostete 2 Euro, ganzer Tag 15 Euro. Von dort war alle gut zu erreichen. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit dort, alles genoßen und waren traurig, diesen wunderschönen Ort verlassen zu müssen. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!
