Great escape!
Our family of 4, incl 2 teens really enjoyed the quick commute to the countryside after a busy day in Florence. House had 2 bathrooms, large bedrooms and enough space to spread out. Backyard view and patio space made meals outside a treat! Cable TV was a hit with the teens. Owner was very responsive…

Wonderful Tuscan stay
Fantastic location near Florence. In driving distance to Florence yet it feels secluded and private. The view from the bedrooms and backyard is stunning. The house was in immaculate condition with all amenities for a wonderful stay. The host David was extremely responsive and professional. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a house with character in the countryside yet accessible to the main city centres.

Tuscan Heaven
This house was exactly what we wished for on our first visit to Italy for our 20th year anniversary! The views from the house and the back yard are extraordinary! The heated floors were a very comfortable feature. We didnt use the kitchen for very much cooking but it great for morning coffees and evening drinks and snacks. The host was very helpful in providing transportation information and always responded to our questions. The road to the house is definitely narrow and you have to be cautious and fully attentive. We had a car the whole time. When we went into Florence or to catch a train we would leave our car in a free parking lot about 3 minutes away and ride the bus into the city. Very convenient! Thank you very much David for being a great host and sharing your beautiful home with us.

What an incredible place
We loved our stay. From the start David sent all kinds of information. We had a few more questions about the bus and the area, David sent answers with in minutes with GPS maps. We loved the view, the Persimmon and Pomegranate from the trees in the yard were delicious. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were awesome, everything was clean. We stayed at 3 other locations this trip and this was our favorite. My wife said the blow dryer was the best blow dryer in Italy.

Beautiful vacation!
My husband and I stayed a month here. While access is kind of a challenge (need a car and the roads are narrow) the location is beautiful and very quiet. We decided it was a nice change from the crowds and noise of Florence and other tourist spots at the end of the day. The villa itself is exactly as portrayed in the pictures. Big, clean, well equipped for any stay. We found the best way to get into Florence was to drive into Grassina, park and take the local buses. Great access and saved a lot of money on parking. Enjoyed restaurants and other services in Grassina.

The house was awesome, the location well worth the experience of getting up the hill. Delfina and David were incredibly helpful in every way possible. They also introduced us to Francesco, who helped get us around, he was awesome as well.

We enjoyed our stay in this house. Delfina was very nice and helpful. The house is in a lovely quiet location with a great view, everything was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped. We are glad we booked a car so we enjoyed the local food and wineries around. The streets are very narrow, but we eventually got used to driving. It was one of the best holidays for our family!

Beautiful villa for Christmas
Fantastic villa for a family. We stayed for 4 x nights over Christmas. Nice Kitchen with a dining table near.Lounge a little small but cozy. There is a seperate small lounge near the bedrooms, tv didn’t work, but probably good as it was near the bedrooms.Has an upstairs mezzanine bedroom with small ensuite, a little load if people are still awake downstairs, but great.Beautiful garden and table area outside, it was Christmas so very cold, but enjoyable.Has a bbq pizza oven, but did not use, too cold.Villa is very nice, but away from any restaurant or shops. You need to be self sufficient, so buy your groceries at the nearby town, as it is a narrow road all the way up... spectacular views.This place is nice if you want a quiet villa in the hills.Enjoyed our family Christmas in Florence at this villa.

The pictures in the listing don't really do justice to how beautiful this home and the surrounding countryside truly are. The owners were very responsive and helpful with everything from settling in, to information about the nearby town of Grassina, to educating us on the public transit available.

Quintessential Tuscany
LOVED the property and surrounding area (even the windy 1 lane road up!) Get snqcks and food beforehand if you dont have a car! Its hard to get a taxi and is really not walker friendly (narrow, curvy road up/downhill) BUT, the quiet. The scenery. The songbirds. TOTALLY set the scene for 1st bisit to Italy! Would definitely stay again!
