Distant views of olive groves and vineyards. Misty cool mornings, listening to church bells and birdsong. THIS was our home base in Tuscany that we were lucky enough to have discovered. All of the photos and descriptions do not do justice to this beautiful villa 30 minutes outside of Florence! Close to the tram, which brought us into Florence 4 times during our incredible 2 week stay we also took advantage of our rented car to drive the beautiful scenic roads to nearby medieval villages and spectacular Cinque Terre on the Mediterranean.
Our hosts, Antonio and Silvia, who live next door, were welcoming and friendly without being obtrusive, in any way. We asked them about local festivals, hot spring spas, wineries, etc and they directed us to the most un-touristy fabulous spots!
The house and property has everything you would need, including comfortable beds and a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the huge two French arched, doors, leading out to the garden and the Tuscan views! We enjoyed bread and cheese and wine at our private home base most evenings before going out to local amazing restaurants for dinner. (Don’t forget to check out the spectacular sunsets at the front of the property on your way out to dinner!)
Thank you Antonio and Silvia for our magical stay at your beautiful Tuscan property!
This place was amazing! The beautiful view out the windows and the old world style home made this a comfy slow paced alternative to our Rome and Naples trip. Antonio the owner was extremely helpful and gave us great suggestions on where to eat and things to do. The full kitchen allowed us to make some spectacular food with the beautiful Italian ingredients that can be found close by in multiple towns. This was our favorite spot so far on this trip and we would definitely return if we are back in the Florence area again. Some tips for the next American guests. 1. Italy in every location we have been to seems to prefer firm mattresses, this one is no exception. 2. Recycling in Italy is much more involved as everything is separated, luckily Antonio helped us with this figuring it out. 3. If you do laundry in Italy realize that most places do not have dryers and air drying your clothes could take a few days depending on the weather. 4. The restaurants do not usually open on Monday and Tuesday so they should be cook at the VRBO days in my opinion. 5. The restaurant Podere Torricella was spectacular and only a 1 minute walk from the house. The Tuscan steak is 1 kilo which was a lot for us, but they gave us a to go bag and we remade it into another meal the next night. 6. If you rented a car, which I'm sure you did if you are staying here, the roads are curvy and what looks like a 1 way street is actually both directions, so get a small car. 7. Bring cash to pay for heat and taxes.
Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt. Beim Frühstück sind sogar Rehe durch den Garten gelaufen und immer mal wieder eine Fasanenfamilie...Natur pur. Wir konnten herrlich entspannen. Unsere Gastgeber haben uns gute Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurantbesuche gegeben...sie sind sehr nett. Wären gerne länger als 2 Wochen geblieben :-)
Der Start war direkt perfekt. Antonio und seine Familie sind tolle Gastgeber. Das Haus samt Garten war sehr großzügig. Durch die große Essküche mit den schönen Fenstern, hatten wir wunderbare italienische Abende, auch bei dem noch teilweise frischen Aprilwetter. Das Haus war ein prima Ausgangspunkt zu unseren Ausflügen zu den „Klassikern“ der Toskana. Herzlichen Dank für die schöne Zeit
Belle propriété, cadre Toscan typique et relaxant.
Grande maison bien située, dans la campagne toscane.
Hote attentionné et disponible pour toute question.
Region admirable à découvrir tant avec les yeux qu'avec le palais.
Très bon accueil, conseil pour les courses... logement très propre et spacieux. Proche des villes à visiter (Florence, Pise, sienne, 45mn à 1 heure de route). Confort apprécié seul point négatif en hiver froid et chauffage en supplément vite couteux. Doit être agréable l'été car jardin verdoyant et jolie vue.
Maison magnifique dans un environnement charmant.vue splendide sur la campagne toscane.très bien meublée, très propre.propriétaire très accueillant, et discret.bref on ne peut mieux.c'était formidable.
Entspricht der Beschreibung, viel Platz in der Wohnung und grosser Garten.
Sehr netter Vermieter,der auch viele gute Tipps gibt.
Auf Nachfrage wurde auch gleich reagiert und eine weiter Bettdecke bereit gestellt.
Für Empfindliche: Die Matratzen sind sehr hart.
Verbindung nach Florenz:25 Minuten mit dem Auto ( Gratisparken) und dann noch 20 Minuten mit der Tram bis ins Zentrum
Fazit: Empfehlenswert,würde nochmal buchen
Wir haben hier als Familie mit unseren 2 erwachsenen Söhnen unseren 2-wöchigen Sommerurlaub genossen. Das Domizil ist ideal für Landschafts-, Natur- und Kulturliebhaber, die die unterschiedlichen Facetten dieser herrlichen Kulturlandschaft und die nahegelegenen Kulturmetropolen erkunden wollen: Es liegt mittendrin und ist gleichzeitig ruhig gelegen. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist geschmackvoll und unaufdringlich, so dass man sich wohlfühlen und entspannen kann. Hinzu kommt ein großer Garten, der sowohl viele sonnige als auch schattige Plätzchen zum entspannen nach den täglichen Abenteuern bietet. Mit etwas Geduld lassen sich hier auch die unterschiedlichsten (kleinen) Tiere beobachten. Viel Erfolg! Unsere Gastgeber waren gern bereit uns wertvolle Tips und Empfehlungen für unterschiedlichste Entdeckungen in näherer und weiterer Umgebung zu geben - auch kulinarische :-). Man sollte die Gelegenheit nutzen und seine Frage auch stellen. Wer kein Italienisch kann, kann seine Fragen bei Silvia und Antonio auch sehr gut in Englisch stellen.
Was uns im Unterschied zu anderen Häusern auch als sehr positiv aufgefallen war, ist das ausgeklügelte Belüftungskonzept, besonders der Schlafräume in der oberen Etage. Alle Fenster sind mit praktischen Insektengittern und Fenserläden geschützt und die Zimmer verfügen über große flüsterleise Ventilatoren, welche nachts für super angenehmen Schlafkompfort sorgen und tags die Hitze draußen lassen.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unsere Wahl! Danke Silvia und Antonio! Das war ein toller Urlaub und Ihr hattet einen bedeutenden Anteil daran. Gern und guten Gewissens empfehlen wir diese tolle Unterkunft weiter!
This lovely house, situated on a great property, with a gorgeous view over typical rolling tuscan hills, left nothing to be desired.
We were hostet by a wonderful family, which has been of great support, not even in regards of surrounding exploration targets, also organizational help in terms of travelling questions, and so much more.
Grazie mille Antonio e Silvia for hosting us for two weeks,
we always keep in our minds.
We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Antonio’s place. He was very welcoming and helpful. The house was very comfortable for our family of four and had everything we needed for our 4 nights there. The location was excellent and easy to get around with our rental car- 30 minutes from Florence, 1hr to Pisa, wineries nearby. The best part might have been the view, the idyllic Tuscan rolling hills are a feast for the eyes as you sit outside, or even inside. Small towns are nearby for essentials and restaurants. I highly recommend staying here.

Ce gite calme, à la fois en campagne et proche des plus beaux sites Toscans, idéal pour une famille
Quel plaisir de visiter les plus beaux sites de cette région magnifique, sous les conseils avisés de Silvia et Antonio, sans oublier son adorable maman. Le bonheur également de se retrouver dans ce gîte calme après l'agitation touristique de Florence ou autres sites. Une vue magique, entourée d'oliviers, face à un champ de tournesols fleuris le tout complété par les collines au loin. La maison, de construction ancienne laisse place à la fraîcheur le soir malgré les températures élevées de ce début du mois d'Août 2018.

schöner Aufenthalt in ruhiger Lage
Haus liegt absolut ruhig im Hügelland nahe Florenz. Schöner Blick aus dem Garten. Sehr nette und aufmerksame Gastgeber, die auch Tipps für Aktivitäten, Restaurants und Veranstaltungen in der Nähe geben. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen Urlaub braucht, insbesondere ist die Küche gut ausgestattet, sogar mit Spülmaschine. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen, vielen Dank!

Excellent in every respect!
We had a wonderful week in your house, which was very comfortable and clean. It's everything the photos portrait, with a beautiful garden and a great view over the surrounding countryside. Montespertoli is within easy access to Florence, Siena and the other fabulous towns in the neighbourhood. Thank you very much and we would love to visit you again.

We loved our Tuscan holiday home. We found it perfect base to explore from ie Florence Pisa and a great place to chill out and relax in. The children loved the space to run around in the garden and we could even pick cherries from it!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen
Das Haus war für uns gerade richtig: gut zu erreichen, da es etwa eine halbe Stunde von Florenz entfernt ist, schön gelegen, guter Ausgangspunkt für Tagesfahrten nach Florenz, Siena, Pisa und die Chianti-Gegend. Das Haus bietet bequem Platz für fünf große Menschen und obendrein: die Vermieter sind großartig.

Schönes und ruhiges Landhaus in der Nähe von Florenz
Das Ferienhaus ist gut eingerichtet mit gut ausgestatteter Küche, großzügigem Aufenthaltsraum und Garten in sehr ruhiger Lage und dennoch nur eine gute halbe Stunde von Florenz entfernt. Die Vermieter waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Sowohl für Ausflüge nach Florenz oder Pisa, Livorno als auch ans Meer oder das Chianti-Gebiet ein guter Ausgangspunkt. Wir würden gerne wieder kommen.
