Fantastic stay!

We had such a wonderful stay at this apartment Villa. The property is absolutely beautiful and the hosts were the BEST and most kind hosts we have ever had. We cannot wait to come back for another visit.

Best stay ever

The property is beautiful. The apartment has everything you need. Host Doreen is absolutely amazing. We stayed for a month, and in a month, something is likely to go wrong so we like to measure a host by how they handle it. Doreen had three fixes in a day, and the kindest concern over our comfort. We will stay here again!

Beautiful Villa with stunning views!

Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The views were absolutely stunning, the Villa was everything we expected and more. The property is so peaceful and serene making such a delight to go for short walks. Doreen and Anna were by far the most gracious and helpful hosts. It was so easy to access the bus stop which brings you to the center of Florence. There is a small market within walking distance and plenty of restaurant options within a short bus ride. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place yet a short ride ride into the city.

WOW! WOW! WOW! This was the highlight of our trip! What an incredible house, incredible views, and INCREDIBLE hosts! Doreen is a wonderful host and really a gracious and beautiful woman. She was so sweet to check on us each day, even taking us to the local grocery store for supplies. The location of this house is perfect! A quick 15 minute walk to a bus stop that takes you into town. The views are fantastic, overlooking all of Florence and great views of the sunset. The house is very comfortable and clean. All things considered; the views, the house, the location and, of course, Doreen, we will most definitely be back! Maybe for a month the next time!

Calm and peaceful oasis

The highlight of the stay was the kindness and responsiveness of the host, Doreen. She was attentive to our needs and very accommodating. The booking from start to finish was informative and smooth. The grounds of the home are breathtaking and calm, there are expansive gardens and walking paths that include a stunning view of the city. The home was more than enough for our family of four. With two teenage daughters the two bathrooms were a very welcoming feature. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessities to prepare our meals. The location is approximately 15-20 minutes from the city center, and therefore transportation needs to be carefully considered.

Our dream vacation and dream villa!

We were SO delighted and completely satisfied by our stay at this beautiful villa. It was even more lovely than advertised! The location was exquisite, had an incredible Tuscany countryside view, and easy access to a bus stop that brought us right into the city of Florence. Our host Doreen was extremely welcoming, kind, thoughtful, and went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. She showed us around the property, opened the chapel doors so we could have a peek, brought us fresh apricots from the land, and also some of the family's delicious homemade olive oil. She helped us with a ride to the grocery store, a ride into town, and when the taxi service was swamped the day of our departure, she quickly offered us a ride to the station. If you are seeking an exquisite villa, in a tranquil location, with a wonderful host, and with easy access to the joys of the city of Florence, this is your spot! We will definitely consider a return visit. Ciao ~ Maria & Steve

Remarkable views

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The hosts were very attentive and ask frequently if we needed anything. The accommodations were very good. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything that we needed. The patio was delightful, very charming. The grounds were well maintained and the views were awesome. We were very fortunate that the host gave us a tour of the house and Chapel. We marked down the listing because it read like the bus was right at the gate, which it was, but maybe because of our age, it was not walkable. So, the small village was not easily accessible. We were hoping to walk to the village for expresso and fresh bread daily. However, we still had a marvelous stay. Orginally, we had thought of staying a month and we very much wished we had kept that plan. We hated to leave. The only real thing we would suggest is to get a new mattress for the queen bed. It was an unforgettable time.

Dear Margaret, thank you for your nice review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay, it was nice to meet you. Thanks also for the advice on the mattress, we have already replaced it. Not staying in the house ourselves we are not able to realize certain things so any advice is welcome!

Ungewöhnlich schönes Anwesen mit tollem Blick auf Florenz

Wir (vier Erwachsene, 66-82 Jahre alt) haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Doreen ist eine sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Gastgeberin. Die Wohnung ist gut und bequem ausgestattet und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sie ist Teil eines herrschaftlichen Anwesens hoch über Florenz mit der entsprechenden tollen Aussicht. Der einzige Nachteil ist nur relevant, wenn man das Auto stehen lassen möchte: Bis zur nächsten Bushaltestelle sind es - je nach Fitness - zwischen 8 und 13 Minuten Gehzeit, auf dem Rückweg zwischen 12 und 17 Minuten. Die Entfernung zur Innenstadt ist zwar nicht groß, aber je nach Verkehr und Gehgeschwindigkeit dauert der ganze Weg vom Haus zum Beispiel bis zum Domplatz durchaus zwischen 40 und 50 Minuten.

Unique Florence experience: almost-Tuscan-countryside/almost-in-the city

Stunning views of olive groves in the foreground and Florence's Duomo in the background. Doreen and Ana were great hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay a lovely one. They even shared their freshly pressed olive oil (which had just been harvested)! This is an ideal place for someone who doesn't necessarily want to be in the center every day during their trip (perhaps for someone who has been to Florence before or if you have a long enough trip planned this time) and who is hoping to have a semblance of the bucolic quietude that one might get if staying further out into the Tuscan countryside. The apartment, itself (bottom floor of one large guesthouse), is lovely, full of character, spacious, and clean.

Excellent option in Firenza

We have been staying in this magnificent house for a week during this past month of July (2022). The experience has been very positive. Everything perfectly clean and conditioned. The room with beds upstairs and downstairs a delight for the kids. Huge and comfortable living room. The fully equipped kitchen. All perfect in short. If you have a large car there is no problem with parking. Nearby shops to do some food shopping. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is a blessing in these summer days. Dealing with owners Doreen and Anna is quick and easy. Very serious people and attentive to what is needed. We especially want to mention Doreen who gave us fruit from her garden and makes a superb crostata. Very affectionate and attentive. In short, a highly recommended option in Florence. Thank you Anna and Doreen for your attention and treatment.

Beautiful House in the Hills

With my husband and 2 grown up daughters we stayed here in the middle of June. Everything worked well in the Apartment, it was very clean and comfortable. Just as pictured and described on Homeaway site. Florence was experiencing a heat wave when we stayed here so the Air Conditioning was so welcome. The apartment is a 10 minute walk to the Bus Stop. The frequent buses take you to the centre of Florence for under 2 Euros. Anna’s mum Doreen is so helpful and obliging, she took us to the supermarket and the Train Station and was always contactable if we had a problem. A very pleasant hostess indeed. We would love to go back as this was a super place to rent.

lovely family

This property is beautiful and well-located - it's near a bus line into Florence but you are away from the crowds. There are olive and apricot trees, chickens and a dog, and two lovely (mother and daughter) landladies. It's a very good space for a family with children. If you want total privacy, it may not be optimal because there is shared outdoor space. If you want to get to know a very nice Italian family a little bit, however, it will be a good fit. We were very happy to make this place our beautiful home for 5 months, and we will miss Doreen and Anna and their families. We hope to return. Grazie mille.

Gracious Hosts and Fabulous Views Overlooking Florence

Our family of four stayed here in early July. The apartment was well appointed with all of the comforts of home. Everything was as pictured and described on vrbo. It was absolutely spotlessly clean and a great place to spend the final seven days of our three week stay in Italy. The air conditioning was a life saver as it was very warm in Florence during our stay. The apartment is located not far from a bus stop. This bus takes you to San Marco Plaza where the sites of Venice are only a five minute walk away. We had a rental car but chose to take the bus and avoid the traffic of a busy city and parking fees. Anne's mother Doreen was an absolute delight. She took us to the grocery store the first day we arrived so we could get the items we needed. Doreen was always on hand to help answer any and all questions we had. She is the epitome of truly a warm and gracious hostess. This is a great place to rent and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone!
