Excellent experience and location
Lovely host(s) and wonderfully convenient location with views over old Florence. Very nice self catering property in which to stay and we were looked after very well by Viviane and Alvaro. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Very Helpfu Hosts
Wonderful farmhouse with amazing views. Rented a car at the airport, roads were a little tricky. Alvarro showed us the best routes and helped us out when we had car trouble.

Cosy villa in the Tuscan Hills
The house is beautifully situated overlooking a Valley full of olive trees, and ultimately the city of Firenze (Florence). All the conveniences are there - the place is well equipped and very comfortable. Our hostess (and her son) were very accomodating and helpful. The weather turned a little cool and our hostess kindly brought over wood for a fire, making for a very cosy evening! Unfortunately we did not get to use the hot tub but it looked very inviting.
As with most locations in Tuscany, be prepared to drive on hilly roads that are quite narrow and sometimes very steep. Still, the drive is worth it once you get there!

The property was wonderful, a beautiful, peaceful setting about 20 minutes from Firenze.
The process was easy. A car is absolutely needed.

Beautiful, peaceful, farm-like atmosphere, near Florence
This was a great stay in a beautiful location near Florence. We didn't want to stay in the city, so chose this lovely house, with many amenities. The host is a nice lady who was very helpful and friendly. She even helped us to reserve tickets at the Uffizi museum in Florence. There is a great hot tub to soak in as you watch the lights of the city down below the mountain. Florence is about 20-30 minutes away, and very convenient by bus. I wish we had more time there, and will recommend this place whole-heartedly.

Tuscan Honeymoon
We had a wonderful stay at Viviannes property. She maintained the perfect balance of giving us our privacy and being available should we need anything. The property was clean and tidy with amazing views of Florence and the country side. She even brought us fresh cherries picked from the property and baked us a breakfast treat the day we had to leave. We are Americans and rented a car --be prepared for a shock when navigating the tiny roads up the hillside. In the end it was all worth it! Convenient location, beautiful scenery and lovely hostess!

Clean, tranquil, hospitable
Viviane is a wonderful host. She helped with transportation which was our only challenge with this location since we didn’t have a vehicle. Taxis are 35 to 50 Euros from the city center. However, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The house was exceptionally clean and functional. The location is very serene. I wish we could have stayed a month!
