Beautiful property for my friends and family to enjoy. The bus is close by although the times were never on schedule (not the property issue), Uber and taxis were a little hard to come by but we did find that bike rentals were the most convenient way to get around. Rooms were beautiful and beds were nice. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies and the views were gorgeous. Only thing to note that was confusing in the description is the charge for electricity due per kilowatt at the checkout. But other than that it was lovely and well worth the money!
We were twelve friends staying here for a week and it was amazing! Lovely old house, but maybe some more comfortable seatings for all of the twelve guests would be good. Francesca was very nice, replied very quick and helpful! It is a little bit of a walk to the pool (just a minute away), but it was well worth it in the 30 degrees heat! 😁
The property was very nice. Everyone was very excited about how pretty it was. The beds were really nice. Everything was clean. The pool area was a very pleasant surprise. Francesca helped us several times prior to getting there. We would definitely stay here again
The only negative had nothing to do with the property. We had trouble with taxis canceling on us. however when Francesca got involved, she got us taxis very quickly. We would recommend this property to anyone.

Great place for larger group to explore Florence and Tuscany
We (6 adults & 5 kids) had a very pleasant stay and recommed the property to others. It is a spacious and well maintained property (all the rooms have A/C and bathroom). As you can tell from pics its inventory is not really modern, but relaxing / cozy and fully functional.
Rooms are in first floor and there is a large terracce (be aware that you need to keep party/volume low at nights as neighbours are close by). BBQ in the garden. Large, clean and very nice pool with shower, toilet and refrigerator (but you need to walk a few meters as it is not directly attached to the house)
There is a bus to Florence center (app 15 minutes) and a few good pizzerias close by.

Fantastic !!!
Dear Francesca,
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our family holiday. The pool is fantastic and ideal with kids as it is gated off. The rooms are lovely and all have A/C and their own bathroom! We spent most evenings on the terrace which was lovely.
The best thing about the house is the location though. A bus stop is only a short walk from the house which takes you into the centre of Florence in no time! Ideally located for day trips such as Pisa or Siena as well.
All in all it really made our holiday and I can’t recommend it enough.
Francesca is a fantastic host and the communication before and during our stay was outstanding! She really goes the extra mile for her guest.
Thank you so much again! We had a fantastic time.
We were an extended family of 7 adults and 2 young children. This house worked perfectly for us. The family with the young children had one section of bedrooms, then there’s a double door so when we sat in the lounge area at night, we weren’t disturbing them. All the bedrooms were very comfortable and had their own bathroom. A large well equipped kitchen with a large balcony off it was great. Air conditioning in each bedroom. The kitchen and living room aren’t air conditioned but they will be next year apparently. That will be a welcome addition as they got quite hot and if you left the windows open the mosquitoes became a problem. Not all windows have screens. We appreciated the mosquito repellent and coils. We loved the extensive grounds and the pool. It is a truly beautiful place. There’s a kids playground in a public park next door. Loved pizza man which is a few minutes walk away. Caught the bus into Firenze very easily. Was a great location for day trips around Tuscany. We thoroughly recommend this villa.
Eine ideale Unterkunft für 12 Personen mit eigener Küche und einem Pool für die heiße Zeit zum abkühlen. Die Lage zur Stadt ist perfekt und die Vermieterin geht sehr diskret mit den Gästen um. Tute bene.
Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, wieder zu kommen , ist sehr groß.
We were a group of 12, 3 families and the property was the perfect size for us. All the rooms were a similar size and standard so there we no arguments about rooms! The owner, Francesca was really helpful and responded to emails immediately both before and during our stay.
The location is perfect for exploring Florence, the bus stop is a 5 minute walk away and the journey about 15/20 minutes. Taxis into Florence were about 15/20 euros one way.
There are a few restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance of the house.
The pool is set away from the house which could be tricky with younger children but wasn’t a big problem for us.
Mosquitos were a massive problem, which is obviously not the fault of the owner, they did their best to provide repellents etc but everyone got badly bitten every day. This was probably the only negative to our holiday.
The house is well equipped and the terrace off the kitchen is a nice place to sit in the evening.
Overall, I would highly recommend this house for people wanting to relax and also explore Florence.

A haven from which to enjoy Florence
Francesca was a very attentive hostess and provided advice about local travel as well. The property was perfect for a group of couples as we each had a room with an ensuite. The kitchen/ great room were our gathering headquarters to cook meals and play pool.
The grounds were expansive and the pool was an added bonus when the sun came out, it was difficult to leave the relaxing cabana area. The location provided a haven to recharge in, with the old city of Florence a 25 minute bus ride to all major sights. Bus stops were easily accessible from the property.
We hope to return soon, thank you Francesca for taking such good care of us.
5 stars for this property. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Un cadre très agréable, au milieu d'un parc. Aucun bruit sinon quelques aboiements de chien. Un accueil chaleureux - Une grande disponibililé pour répondre à toutes les questions - Il n'y a rien à redire à l'équipement. Seul point un peu négatif : la maison est sombre et l'éclairage un peu juste."
