Beautiful 18th century stone house, surrounded by nature, with pool and garden.

Beautiful 18th century stone farmhouse, with panoramic views and surrounded by greenery. On the ground floor there are two living rooms communicating with a dining room and fireplace which leads to a large terrace with gazebo overlooking the pool. Also on the ground floor, a single bedroom and a bathroom with shower, a laundry room and a beautiful kitchen in super-equipped masonry adjacent to another large covered terrace, equipped with barbecue, fully furnished and with a panoramic view over the valley.
On the first floor there is another large living room overlooking the hills complete with two double sofa beds, a master bedroom with anteroom and bathroom, a second double bedroom with bathroom, a third bedroom with three single beds and adjacent bathroom.

The property includes terraced gardens, a beautiful swimming pool with heated shower surrounded by olive and fruit trees.
The garden surrounding the swimming pool is fully furnished.
At the entrance to the Casa dei Ghiri there are four parking spaces, two of which are covered and a playhouse for children.
It is an ideal place to spend relaxing holidays in contact with nature and at the same time it is possible to visit cities of art such as Florence, Siena and San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa and Arezzo.
The farmhouse is 40 minutes from the center of Florence, 15 km from Lake Bilancino (sailing, canoeing, surfing), 5 km from the Mugello racetrack, 3 km from the town of Luco where you can find all the services and typical Tuscan restaurants and taste the local dishes, such as tortelli, Florentine steak, mushrooms, wild boar, all accompanied by excellent wines.
In nearby Borgo San Lorenzo, which is 6 km from the Casa dei Ghiri, there is a small railway station from which trains leave every hour for central Florence.
The A1 motorway can be reached in 20 minutes.

Imola Grand Prix Visit
A group of 7 of us stayed at Francis property for a week. The place was a fantastic hub for visiting vineyards, Florence, Pisa and all other touristy bits you may like to do. Sadly the weather was not on our side so we did not get to use the pool or garden as much as we would like, but there was plenty of other things to keep us busy. Franco was excellent with the check in and checkout process, being very flexible and accommodating. Thanks once again 👍

Best rental ever
The check in and out process was very smooth. Even though our flight was delayed they met us late at the house. So much space and a bathroom for every bedroom, amazing place for three families.

Fabulous spacious old stone farmhouse in beautiful Tuscan countryside
As a group of five adults we found this lovely house with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms had plenty of space for us all. Both double bedrooms had adjoining dressing room and ensuite. The house was very clean and Franco and his wife welcomed us very warmly, leaving a contact telephone number, but leaving us alone while we were staying. The neighbours do have dogs which of course bark a bit, so that was a nuisance. The view from the terrace magical, great kitchen and comfortable living spaces, although we spent most of our time on the terrace. WiFi doesn't work, which was a bit of a problem, but understand we were in the country. The restaurant in Grezzano (2 kms away) was fabulous and authentic cooking. The villages within easy reach beautiful, uncrowded and with fascinating history. Florence an easy train trip from Borgo San Lorenzo. I hope we have the opportunity to stay here again, a bit 'far from the madding crowd'.

Perfect house at perfect location
This old farmfouse was just perfect for us - 3 couples traveling around Tuscany. The house is located very close to Florence, about 4 km up hill from the village of Grezzano, but it is not possible to notice presence of the big city or people around. The interior is tastefully designed and allows you to fall into the old days, real Tuscany and Italy. No doubt that owners have put their hearts in this cosy place. The kitchen is fully (even too much) equiped allowing to enjoy full range of Italian or other national dishes. Since I am food lover and really like to cook for my friends, I had the real pleasure of working in an outdoor kitchen on the terrace. Unfortunately the weather was quite terrible during our stay, but the covered outside terrace and open fireplace made our evenings fully enjoyable. I trully hope that we will be able to return to this place once again, when Tuscany weather will allow us to "to do nothing" around the garden and pool that are hidden from other people's eyes. In 3 words - the place is gorgeous! Thank you Franco for leting us feel the taste of Tuscany!

Lovely welcome, lovely villa!
Thank you so much to Franco for the lovely welcome to the villa on our arrival. The villa was beautiful with everything provided for us. Unfortunately we were unable to use the pool as it wasn't warm enough for us at this time of year! But we did enjoy the garden and wonderful views. We visited Florence, Lucca and Siena during our week's stay, all within easy reach from the villa. A stay at this villa is thoroughly recommended.

Toskana-Urlaub mit 5 Sternen
Wir waren zum zweiten Mal in diesem Ferienhaus in der Toskana, nahe Borgo San Lorenzo, unweit von Florenz. Der freundliche Besitzer Franco nimmt einen persönlich in Empfang und kümmert sich darum, dass ab Check-in alles so ist wie gewünscht. Es geht familiär zu. Haus samt Anlage mit Pool sind toll und es fehlt an nichts. Alles ist großzügig genug (z.B. 2 Terrassen und der Garten am Pool), so dass man auch in größeren Runden zu jeder Zeit Rückzugsorte hat. Die Umgebung ist Toskana pur in ihrer schönsten Form, wirklich atemberaubend. Das Ferienhaus bildet den perfekten Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen: Florenz, Siena, Volterra, Pisa oder auch Venedig usw. Wir haben diesen Urlaub zum zweiten Mal sehr genossen und kommen bestimmt noch ein drittes Mal. Danke Franco für die Gastfreundlichkeit.

Fantastisch huis met prachtig uitzicht
We hebben heerlijk genoten in dit fantastische huis. Alle ruimte, lekker zwembad en prachtig uitzicht. Je moet wel voor alles de auto pakken door de ligging van het huis, maar dat was voor ons geen probleem.

Surprisingly wonderful and Cosy
We stayed at Francos estate for at week and loved every minute. Everything is in place, in abundance and Franco was very helpful in giving hints and recommendations of venues and dining. The house is very big, and offers more than promised in the pictures. The garden is full of lush flowers (in mid July), and the pool area is private with a wonderful view of the hills. We give our best recommendations to this place :-)

Such a nice Tuscany stay
We (5 friends 30-35yo) really enjoyed our stay at Franco and Emily’s place. The villa was big (way more than we tough) and the yard even more. The communication with Franco and Emily was really smooth. Our favorite thing was the outside kitchen! The view is stunning. Thank you so much Franco and Emily :)
