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.

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…

We had a great time at David`s property, the property is luxurious and spacious., making it a perfect base to explore tuscany for our group of six. The communication with David has been smooth and he went out of his way to ensure our stay is as enjoyable as possible.

Amazing stay!

David provided very helpful and accurate information to transportation, groceries and more. This house was even better than I was expecting. It was so roomy. It was clean and extremely comfortable. The views were unreal from every single room. We had no trouble finding the place and it was so close to the bus stop where there was free parking so we could go into the city for the day. It was close to a grocery store which we utilized. We seriously loved this house so much. We def plan to come back again!!

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!
