Beautiful vacation!
My husband and I stayed a month here. While access is kind of a challenge (need a car and the roads are narrow) the location is beautiful and very quiet. We decided it was a nice change from the crowds and noise of Florence and other tourist spots at the end of the day. The villa itself is exactly as portrayed in the pictures. Big, clean, well equipped for any stay. We found the best way to get into Florence was to drive into Grassina, park and take the local buses. Great access and saved a lot of money on parking. Enjoyed restaurants and other services in Grassina.

We enjoyed our stay in this house. Delfina was very nice and helpful. The house is in a lovely quiet location with a great view, everything was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped. We are glad we booked a car so we enjoyed the local food and wineries around. The streets are very narrow, but we eventually got used to driving. It was one of the best holidays for our family!

The pictures in the listing don't really do justice to how beautiful this home and the surrounding countryside truly are. The owners were very responsive and helpful with everything from settling in, to information about the nearby town of Grassina, to educating us on the public transit available.

Quintessential Tuscany
LOVED the property and surrounding area (even the windy 1 lane road up!) Get snqcks and food beforehand if you dont have a car! Its hard to get a taxi and is really not walker friendly (narrow, curvy road up/downhill) BUT, the quiet. The scenery. The songbirds. TOTALLY set the scene for 1st bisit to Italy! Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful hillside location just outside Florence. Well-equipped kitchen, three spacious bedrooms plus a loft, and great outdoor space. Non-Italians driving themselves be aware, the road to the house is not for the faint of heart.

A Beautiful Stay
Tranquil, picturesque, spacious and homey. A true Tuscan experience….from the drive to the views to the serenity. Had everything we needed and the owners were only a call, text or email away. A real gem. Very close proximity to Florence. Easy day trip to Pisa. Coop Fi for groceries was decently close to stock up for a few days. We would recommend this clean, well appointed and comfortable villa to anyone visiting the region, without a doubt.

Style & Comfort
Beautiful home, dazzling finishes, lots of space. Went in April. Could not enjoy the gardens & patio due to inclement weather. Made dinner in the well-equipped kitchen. Not far from Park n’ Ride (€7 all day; €1.50 each way to Florence. Minutes by car to the vineyards. This villa has it all.

Tuscany with friends
This place was fantastic! A little outside of Florence but close enough for an inexpensive taxi trip. Beautiful country side for a walk . Olive trees everywhere you looked. Delfina was so helpful and anything we needed she was there to help. We were 6 adults and all had lots of room. Would totally recommend this place.

The Ultimate Tuscan Experience
This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location. If you truly want to live the Tuscan experience, I highly recommend this place. The hosts are wonderful and always available to help. The house and yard are amazing. The location will give you a true feeling of what it is like to live in Tuscany, which was a major goal of our trip. Perfect for a family (ample rooms and places to sleep). While I greatly enjoyed this place with my family, in retrospect, I found myself wishing it were just my wife and I as it's a magical place for a romantic getaway!

Wonderful
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful villa. The location just south of Florence was ideal and the views breathtaking. There were 9 of us and we all were very impressed. You can park your car for free close by and take the bus into Florence. We even used the grill one night and had our own bistecca! Will recommend to friends and will stay here again when some day hopefully we are back in Tuscany!
