We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this historic villa. The property feels like stepping back in time, yet everything is thoughtfully updated and comfortable.It is pure magic — beautifully restored, incredibly spacious, and filled with charm at every turn.The views are breathtaking, and the quiet, peaceful location was perfect for relaxing.We loved cooking together and enjoying long dinners with family and friends in the gorgeous garden. The proximity to the city made it easy to explore Florence during the day and retreat to this peaceful oasis in the evenings.Peiris was on site to ensure that everything ran smoothly, and his presence added significantly to our exemplary experience. He was incredibly helpful and kind. And we appreciated his advice, breakfast prep, and cleanliness.We can’t recommend it highly enough and hope to return soon!

Beautiful historic home

We were a group of 4 couples who spent 4 nights in this beautiful home. Periris the grounds keeps was exceptionally helpful as was the property manager, Monica. Grounds are lovely. Property is 15 min. from Florence and a great spot for day trips to Sienna and the hill towns. We could not have found a more perfect spot!

Enchanting villa in Florence

The property is astounding. Gorgeous, large garden with a lovely pool. The house is just beautiful and perfect with 5 bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. It worked really, really well for our family. Nearby on-site houseman was super helpful and made things very easy for us. It was a 15-minute walk to bus stop to Florence city center. We just loved it.

Fabulous Time at Historic Dante’s Manor

We enjoyed our stay with our family of 8. We would highly recommend this beautiful villa. Monica was very helpful with making arrangements. We really appreciated the service that Peiris provided throughout our stay including cleaning the rooms each day. The Villa is beautiful and the property has well maintained gardens. There was a terrace and hot tub on the second floor and the pool was a great break from the heat. The Villa is close to Florence and we had several dinners in the city as well as closer to the Villa. Overall a great stay.

Paradise in Florence

We stayed at this place with the group of friends in April. The villa is gorgeous. Planty of space. It is in a very prestige area of Florence, very quite, but still a 10-15 ride back to all the attractions. Tons of space outdoor. Pool, a bunch of other amenities. Special thanks to Peiris for taking care of us during the stay. Monica was a pleasure to work with on all the planning. She organized a catering for us (which was awesome) at the night of arrival. Truly a very memorable experience for the whole group

Perfect Vacation Villa

We stayed here in July with 2 families and the house was incredible in every way. The whole house is just beautiful. The grounds overlook Florence. The pool was a welcome respite from the heat. It was just a short taxi ride into the center of Florence. Peiris took such good care of us - cooking delicious breakfast every morning, getting us cabs, even driving us on occasion as we were having trouble getting cabs for our large group. He was so so kind and helpful. Monica was also very helpful leading up to our visit helping us coordinate food and dinner upon our arrival as well as transport. This is the perfect property for a large group with all the luxury you could ask for! HIGHLY recommend!!

Magical Christmas in Florence

We traveled with 9 family members for 9 days over christmas to New Years Day. We were totally delighted with the home which is perfectly located and is better than depicted in the photos. The common rooms are beautiful including a gracious dining table large enough for our large family to enjoy some formal holiday dinners under a beautiful Venetian chandelier. The kitchen is well equipped which allowed us to cook a multi course Christmas dinner together , (only suggestions would be better chef knives) The 5 ensuite bedrooms allowed every member of our party to enjoy beautiful, well appointed rooms with comfortable beds and extraordinary views of the Florentine hills. Monica, the house manager, was extremely helpful and hospitable: shopping for our arrival, arranging our in house chefs for our dinner on Christmas Eve, arranging for transportation for our two excursions to Siena and to Capezzana., offering great restaurant suggestions and making reservations for us at restaurants that are popular with the local people,(which honestly would not have been possible without her help for 9 people!) and generally making our stay as seamless and enjoyable as possible. She is a gem! I would not hesitate to recommend this extraordinary property to friends. I hope we can come back someday!

Great Property, Some Communication Issues

The house is beautiful, spacious and well situated. In addition, Peiris, the housekeeper, was warm, professional and helpful. However, there were issues with communication from the bus mgr. Weddings: During our stay, there were 2-3 weddings every week. On those days, there was noise in the evenings, sometimes past 1am. The noise in the living area and some of the bedrooms was OK. However some bedrooms faced the wedding side &those rooms had issues.This was not disclosed prior to booking & felt like something that should have been in the VRBO write up. Surprise Agreement:3.5 weeks into our stay, the bus mgr forwarded an additional rental agreement. It was a modified longer term contract with inaccurate information and parts that weren’t applicable to us. The big surprise was a requirement to pay for electricity which was not part of our original understanding &, as we found out, could be thousands of $’s. We told her that it wasn’t reasonable & the mgr eventually relented on the request to pay for the electricity. We ultimately left without signing but not before wasting time attempting to mark up the document. Bad Tour: The bus mgr arranged a Cinque Terre boat tour that didn’t go to Cinque Terre but instead just toured the nearby commercial harbor. Instead of the original boat for 7 in the photo, we were in 2 dinghies not fit for purpose & promised things didn’t happen (drinks & eng speakers on both boats, boats staying together, light lunch, etc.) Disappointing experience

Wonderful Villa

We had a great stay at La Magione degli Alighieri. As a first time used of VRBO and home share services, I was initially very nervous. However, Cristiana allayed any concerns early on. She was very responsive in helping to answer questions and make arrangements (groceries, catered dinner, transportation for wine tasting) prior to our arrival. Our house manager was also excellent and made sure we were comfortable. I was looking for a property with character and proximity to Florence, and this property really delivered. The villa comes loaded with history, wonderful wall paintings, and a beautiful garden full of roses and lemon trees. While we had easy access to Florence (a 30min bus ride after a 10min walk to the bus stop), when you were at the villa you felt like you were away from the hustle and bustle. Every bedroom has amazing views of Fiesole and the hillside. If I were to make any complaints, it is that the house was very cold when we were there (early May). This may be a plus if you are visiting in the summer, but if you are visiting in the spring come prepared. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
