Perfect for families, great host

Villa Colomba lives up to the dream Tuscan vacation villa! This rustic century old villa is located in an olive grove high up on a hill, offering gorgeous views all the way to the city of Florence. At night the glittering lights of the city unfolds below, while the sky twinkles above. There is a beautiful outdoor dining area under a canopy of vines to enjoy the view. Our host Dan was amazing and made us feel right at home. We were a three-generation family of six. Per our request, Dan had done a great job stocking up the refrigerators with food, water and wine. He also had a delicious pasta dinner ready for us on arrival. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking by ourselves, and Lastra a Signa has wonderful restaurants, gelateria and a supermarket that Dan happily showed us around. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. With warm sunny weather, much of the day was spent at the well-appointed pool, with wonderful views, a pool bar, grill and cabanas on hand. The villa is ideally situated to explore the city of Florence and various parts of Tuscany. Siena, Cortona, Pisa, Cinque Terre and Maranello were within a couple of hours by car. It is very easy to park at the Lastra a Signa station and take the local train into Florence. The Google maps route from the station to the villa is narrower over the first half, avoid if possible and use Dan’s route. Dan lives on the premises and is always ready to help. We would highly recommend this villa!

What an incredible property, perfect for a families!

We honestly had the most amazing time at Villa Colomba. We were 12 members of the same family, 3 generations, from 5 to 66yrs. We were welcomed at the property with a Tomato Pasta lunch (organised with Dan beforehand) which was delicious and very much appreciated. There is so much room in this ‘home from home’ that you never feel like you’re on top of each other. Lovely air conditioned, spacious bedrooms (necessary with the gorgeous temperatures we had!) were cool and comfortable. 2 huge fridge freezers and plenty of space to eat inside or out. Now, the view….the pictures cannot do it justice - it is just incredible. For the first few days we just couldn’t get over how lucky we were. Sitting at night on the terrace with the lit pool in front of us, our own bar to the side, the twinkling lights from Lastra a Signa below and Florence in the distance. Absolutely stunning. Dan is on site if you ever need him, we didn’t get a hire car in the end (would probably recommend if possible) but he took us to the shops a couple of times so we could stock up on food a drink! He cooked a the tastiest Argentinian Steaks on the BBQ for us one evening, with lovely salads and this actually was one of our favourite evenings. He also dropped us to the station so we could catch the train to Florence. The distance to the station isn’t very far but it’s high up (remember those views!) and so we didn’t attempt the walk as it was just too hot. The outside area and pool were perfect - many games of family volleyball took place there! Lots of sun beds and sofas to make lazing in the sun very easy :) All in all a fabulous place to stay, we felt so at home and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week! We would happily return :)
