Fantastic view!

Owners are on site and responded quickly to any questions and needs. Comfortable place to stay between outings around the area. The balcony is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the view. Understand that this is a really old house and you won't be disappointed.

Anna and Julian who are the owner of the house and ground are very friendly and always helpful.The refurbished flat is located in a hamlet builded in the thirteenth century. The terracce is small and cosy. Sleeping room is big. - Kitchen-living room the biggest. They have really good organic olive oil and honey you should taste it.

Un appartement de rêve à seulement 12 km de Florence

Au bout d'une longue allée d'oliviers bio, entre les vignes et les champs d'oliviers, un très agréable appartement dans une partie d'une ancienne ferme florentine. Nous avons apprécié le calme, le paysage, l'extrême gentillesse des propriétaires et leurs conseils pour les visites. Tout pour passer d'excellentes vacances.

Une beauté au cœur de la campagne toscane

Quel cadre remarquable et apaisant, dans une carte postale. Beaucoup de gentillesse de la part des propriétaires. Dommage: un peu difficile à trouver, quelques indications par message ou sur le chemin seraient appréciées… Merci nous avons beaucoup apprécié !!!

Très bon séjour.

Très sympathique accueil d'Anna et super conseils de Jullian. L'appartement est très agréable et fonctionnel. Seul inconvénient : les moustiques. Mais malgré eux, nous garderons un très bon souvenir de ce séjour.

Objekt für einen ruhigen Urlaub, trotzdem Stadtnähe zu Florenz

Sehr nette Vermieter. Das Haus ist schwierig zu finden, trotz Navi. Vielleicht könnte es besser ausgeschildert werden. Wünschenswert wären bequemere Sitzmöbel für den Balkon, um die wunderbare Aussicht noch besser genießen zu können.
