Everything was terrific. A really great villa, superbly located on the hills right over Florence. Super convenient. Great kitchen, great pool, great AC and bathroom in every bedroom. Daily cleaning (and emergency pool cleaning on the day it was windy!!). Don’t hesitate—this was a great choice for the 15 of us to come and socialize and explore Florence and Tuscany.
An amazing property and incredible customer care throughout. Can not say enough great things about the experience from the personal chefs to the drivers to the accommodations etc. Can’t wait to come back
Even as seasoned travellers who had all visited Tuscany before, we were very impressed with La Fonte villa. The photos do not do it justice and the owners / hosts were extremely helpful.
Amazing property just a mile or so outside the center of Florence. Easy to get to and from via taxi. Beautiful property with a pool. Kids, parents, and grandparents all loved it.
The Vila was beautiful. The beds were heavenly. The property manager is wonderful. The chef they arranged was great. The view is gorgeous. Highly recommended place to stay.
Maria, edit as you need to. We booked Villa La Fonte in Florence, Italy on VRBO. We are a family of 13. About 3 weeks prior to our arrival we received detailed instructions, suggestions, restaurants, etc. when we arrived, the vivacious Maria met us there, welcomed us, put us all at ease, and gave us a tour of this magnificent villa. It exceeded all our expectations! She gave us terrific tips and advice about every situation, best restaurants. ordered taxis for us . Because I had not been able to organize chefs,( we have severe dietary restrictions) she and her partner (both chefs) executed two fabulous dinners for us right there in our villa. Before leaving, we asked what are exit instructions- bedding, trash, etc. She replied - Nothing. You do nothing! On morning if our departure, she hugged each one of us. What an amazing experience!

Excellent for our group of 16. An Oasis on the outskirts of the beautiful Florence with easy access to all the city has to offer and the villa a superb retreat away from the busy crowds when wanted.
Stunning villa with beautiful sights and well maintained. Marinella, the property manager, is top notch and was extremely helpful during our stay.
The best time and memories of a lifetime. Thank you so much!!
It couldn't have been more magical. 6 couples shared the house for the week and it was perfect. The owner provides plenty of information ahead of time to plan out the week's activities. The house and the grounds are beautiful with lots of space to relax. Close enough to the city but far enough away to feel the hills of Tuscany. The kitchen had the basics so we did cook a few meals there and the casual dining space was perfect for long evening dinners with wine and conversation. Would not hesitate to stay again and again and again.........
This property is truly special. A group of 12 family and friends stayed here in April of 2023 to celebrate a 40th birthday. Everything was perfect and just as described in the listing. Communication was exceptional from pre booking through the stay. The location cannot be beat - so incredibly close to Florence city center but yet in the countryside. I highly recommend this villa and I will be back when the opportunity presents itself!
Beautiful villa
A bit far out of town you will need a car .
the only complaint is that they need a garage can in the kitchen
Italy is strict on recycling therefore the garbage is a huge problem
We absolutely loved our stay at this villa. The proximity to Florence, the view the house decor and amenities were all top notch!!!! Would love to stay there longer some time in the future. We had three families with 7 kids ranging from an infant to 13 year old. They all had an incredible time!!
Marinella was super helpful and accommodating!! She even met us at 4 am as we were checking out and leaving early in the morning. Superb service!! Thank you!
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024

Amazing oasis!
We were there to celebrate a friends (BIG!) birthday and had a total of 13 people at the villa. It could not have been better. The rooms were very comfortable, the grounds beautiful and the kitchen and dining space made it a pleasure to stay at the Villa. Apart from all the sight seeing, we had many fun dinners all sat around the outside dining area-the large fully equipped kitchen easily catered for many cooks!
One night we were even serenaded by opera singers from across the valley!
The villa was close enough to Florence to walk or get a cab for about 10-15 euro, and easy access from the train station. The owner and housekeepers were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble to organise.
I would definitely go back!
We rented the Villa for my 50th birthday. 10 of my family members each had the time of their lives. Having the Villa as the central location was genius. We were still able to travel around but coming "home" was amazing. The Villa itself was perfect. The heated pool layout of the home was perfect for a relaxing get away. The location could not have been better. We rented cars and were able to do day trips to Sienna, San Gimingnano, Pisa, and easy access to the city for shopping and fun.
We did a cooking class with Christina at the house and the food was better than any restaurant, having her for a few nights was the best thing.
The absolute best part of our trip was our host, Marinella. She provided experiences we would never get going through a tour service. We were able to do a private wine tour with the Cavalli family at Tenuta Degli Dei. The experience was amazing. We did a family dinner at Ristorante Il Battibecco in Impruenta instead of being at a local touristy place. We got to meat the famous butcher, Dario Cecchini and eat at his restaurant. We had a private jewelry showing of very unique pieces and did not have the hustle and bustle of the Ponte Vecchio. There are not enough words to express how amazing the Villa, the cook, and most importantly Marinella made our visit more than perfect.
We booked this villa so we could visit our daughter and have her school friends over, which would not have been nearly as comfortable at a hotel. It was a wonderful choice. We had plenty of bedrooms for our family to have space and friends to sleep over after a catered dinner. We hired chef Alessio who was lovely, very accommodating, and made delicious food (we chose the traditional menu #1 with homemade ravioli and a wonderful beef). The friends who joined us for dinner didn't have to worry about taxis back to the city (sometimes tough to get), but we had to pay the standard €5 per person per night for them too. The Villa's location is a hilly, rural, old residential area with beautiful views near Due Strade, close to Florence center, but with traffic, it took a while to get there from the airport. FYI no direct public transport to villa. The decor/ art/furnishings were beautiful. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, expresso machines, popcorn maker, and every kitchen gadget we needed. The villa is really lovely and not run down at all- in fact,well-maintained despite being very old and large. There was a daily housekeeper, which was nice. Heated pool (Nov), ping pong table and lots of outdoor areas to enjoy. If there was a downside, it would be that the owners stay on the property in one of the locked off wings and although they never bothered us, every now and then we would see them walk by outside, which startled us. We would highly recommend the villa.
Villa is wonderful and exactly as it seems in photos. We had the chef for 5 nights and 6 breakfasts which was amazing. Marinella the concierge was good but not always 100% on top of every detail. The taxis just wouldn’t come when we called. Marinella said they are never a problem but this strains credibility. We ended up hiring car services each morning to go into town at 50E a trip which was fine once we figured it out. We walked a couple times but the last 1/3 mile was too narrow to feel safe. So we just took car service in. Cooking school at La Quercia was amazing. We did the grocery pre-stock and it was amazing. They restocked water within an hour of Marinella texting them! The area around the villa is very high end — large villas for miles. Felt very safe. One of our guests had a car which was useful a few times. The private vans to winery and Siena were great quality but the drivers varied in terms of how helpful they were — some were great, others okay and one was bad. We would rent this lovely villa again but we would make sure we had pre-scheduled cars services to take us into Florence each morning. The rooms vary in size — the 4 top floor ones are special. The ones on the other two floors are nice but more modestly sized. The outdoor spaces are wonderful. My rating is 96 overall
This property was a dream for our family. We traveled a group of 11 adults & kids and the accommodations were more than perfect. The house felt SAFE, grand & luxurious and a nice touch was daily maid service which we were not expecting! The views are incredible. The bedrooms were big with comfortable bedding. The bathrooms were all updated with great water pressure also! Gated!
We had Marinella plan everything top to bottom and I truly don't think we could have done it without her. She was worth everything and more. An example of her efforts: One of us left a bag at the Airport as we were departing. Marinella was on the phone with the airport that day, tracked our bag down and sent it to us promptly. This is a small example of her extraordinary efforts. We only started planning a few months before the trip! She nailed every step! With a large particular group, Great accomplishment.
Chef Novella was an absolutely amazing experience!. She cooked for us 4 of the nights and each meal was prepared and served with LOVE. An excellent cook and host each night the dining room was set with decor. Each meal came with wine- One of the wines was a trip favorite! We have already purchased for our home in the US. Our group also had dairy allergies. Chef Novella went above and beyond to accommodate the allergies. She designed each menu with dairy free substitutes where no one would have noticed! An impressive touch for a family that has to deal with allergies. Thank you!
A wonderful home, in a great location, with a warm, friendly and hospitable team! My ten guests and I so enjoyed this lovely home, it was so comfortable, quiet, clean and had all the amenities we needed or could ask for. This trip was to occur in 2020, however, the gracious homeowner allowed me to secure the villa during the past two years. It was well worth the wait!
La Fonte is the perfect place for an absolute perfect family vacation in Italy, right on Florence’s door step. The property is exactly as advertised, and that’s saying something. Alexandra is a gracious, elegant hostess. And Marinella made all our arrangements for us to ensure the vacation came off without a hitch. Just magical!! This is literally the best Villa, in the best location in Florence. And the pool was a life saver for everyone (from grandparents to grandkids) on the hot/humid summer days in Italy. Couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Life experience!!
