About this property

Exclusive comfort for a small group- Countryside Tuscan Villa near Florence

My villa is hidden in Tuscan countryside among olive groves, vineyards and woodland. However, downtown Florence is only 16km away (25 mins drive)! The villa can host max 6 people and one infant (one king bed, two single beds, one double sofa bed).
The property has a spacious living room with a couch sleeping two if necessary. Smart Tv, you can log into your Netflix, Amazon Prime or other streaming platforms. The kitchen is very big and has everything you might need to cook your meals. Two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, each on a different level, can comfortably accommodate 4 people. There is also a wooden cot and a chair for an infant, available upon request. Pet friendly property! The house stretches on 3 levels, there are stairs. While away, spend your time by relaxing in the garden, which is equipped with outdoor furniture, a barbecue to cook your charcoal grilled meats or vegetables, an outdoor shower to cool down while sunbathing and a ping-pong table. Florence itself, is like an open air museum, reserve at least two full days to visit the least you must see! Discover the beauty of surrounding countryside with a hike and unwind with a view of picture-perfect vineyards! There are multiple wine tasting opportunities, one also walking distance from here, so you can taste as much wine as you wish, no need to drive back! Yes, we border with the world famous Chianti wine region! Amazing, UNESCO protected landscape all around! One can also go for day trips to many beautiful medieval towns scattered on the hills of Tuscany from here.
I can recommend excellent restaurants; you must know where to go if you want an authentic culinary experience ;)
A deli store, where you can have a breakfast, lunch or do the basic grocery shopping is only 6 mins drive away from here.

Magdalena was more than helpful in providing information. The property was everything We were looking for in a relaxing atmosphere. When Americans view Italy (Tuscany) and dream of visiting, it's not the hustle and bustle of the city, it's the peace and tranquility. This was that and more. Magdalena has assembled a complete and comprehensive list of restaurants, local tourist spots, shopping and more. She provided detailed information on getting to the Florence train station from our port call then locations to rent a car and complete directions to her villa. We had wonderful time and the villa did not disappoint. Thank you againDavid and Kathy

Magdalena was welcoming, and beyond helpful in recommendations and explaining the property (despite our being tired when we arrived and needed a few things told to us again the next day). The Cottage is a perfect getaway, in a beautiful setting. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely go back in a heartbeat.

Wonderful farmhouse cottage situated in between vineyards. The accommodation location is very convenient if you have plans to explore the countryside of Tuscany and visit the ancient towns. The farmhouse is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Extremely peaceful environment and the host was very accommodating.

Relaxing Stay

The cottage and surrounding countryside are even more beautiful than the photos, Magdalena is a wonderful host with so much great advice on things to do in the surrounding area. Despite only being 30 minutes from Florence, this property really gives you a taste of the Tuscan countryside. We loved our stay!

Quiet, clean cottage with everything we needed and beautiful views.

Had a great stay with another couple staying upstairs and my wife and and in the downstairs. Host was amazing and her dog, Gustavino, checked in on us each morning! I wish there had been a vineyard with tasting room within walking distance but there were many within 15 minutes by car. Host set us up with restaurant options and they were all excellent.

Cute Cottage in Tuscany!

Our stay at this cottage was wonderful. It had everything we needed to make our visit comfortable. It was nice that it was in the countryside but still so close to several quaint villages and just 15-20 minutes drive from Florence. The owners were very accommodating as well. Such a nice place to stay!

Very quiet place in countryside

We had a wonderful stay here and took drives in nearby Chianti towns. The cottage is at the end of a private road and is perfect for a couple. Lots of birdsong and walks down the road showed views of the nearby vineyards.

“Wonderful Stay with an Incredibly Helpful Host”We spent a week here and felt right at home. The host was fantastic—so helpful with pre-planning and every restaurant recommendation was spot on. The home itself is spacious, comfortable, and the kitchen is large and well-equipped. Our only small suggestion would be to replace the cooking pans, as the Teflon coating is worn. Otherwise, everything was perfect and we’d happily return!

Everything was wonderful, my daughter didn’t want to leave. I wished we could have stayed an extra couple of days there. It was so peaceful and the house so spacious. We hope to come back someday! Maybe for my daughter’s birthday, as she requested.
