Tranquil stay outside Florence
We enjoyed our stay in this charming and updated farmhouse. Our host Alvaro was helpful and communicated very promptly and clearly. Some things it's important to know about the property: 1. The roads leading in are very winding, 1-lane (2-way) roads and can be challenging especially at night. You have to execute an uphill 3-point turn to get into the driveway. If you are not comfortable with this kind of driving, it's not a good fit for you. 2. Driving into Florence is pretty easy, but takes ~30 min and you will need to pay for parking. Drive to bus is an option but takes a while and the buses can be unreliable (ours had special changed routes and schedules so it was a long trip). 3. The area of this rental is quiet and peaceful; there are no stores or restaurants in walking distance. There is good hiking nearby. 4. There is one bathroom, and neither the second bed (foldout) in the 2nd bedroom nor the sofa was very comfortable. We found the kitchen fairly well stocked, and appreciated being able to do laundry and dry it easily on a provided rack. The wi-fi worked perfectly. If the description suits what you need and you are OK with the location, it's a lovely place and the hosts are wonderful people.

A beautiful and picturesque property! Alvaro and Viviene are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We came over for the MogoGP and the Mugello circuit is 30 minutes drive away (longer on the Sunday due to much more traffic) and coming back to the peace and tranquility after a hectic day at the track I was bliss.Florence is also only a 20 minute drive away. A car is a must due to the location but worth it for the spectacular views :) Leanne & Andy

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!

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!

Fantastic house, spectacular view
We absolutely loved this house and the location. We found the property to be very peaceful and tranquil. The view of the countryside, with Florence in the distance, is spectacular. Each day we traveled to different locations in Tuscany, but one of the more enjoyable parts of our day was returning to the property and enjoying some great Italian wine and hors d’oeuvres on the patio. Our only real regret was that we did not spend a whole day just simply relaxing at the property. The house itself was spotless and very well equipped. Although we ate out for most dinners, the kitchen had everything that you would need if you were to prepare your meals at the house. Vivian was a excellent host who was committed to seeing that our needs were met. I would fully recommend this property if you are visiting the Florence area. I know that we would not hesitate to return to this property in the future. Thank you Vivian for making our stay enjoyable and memorable.

Wunderschön!
Es war ein sehr schöner Kurzurlaub für uns! Das gemütliche Haus ist bestens ausgestattet, vorbildlich sauber und hat eine wunderschöne Lage mit einem tollen Blick auf Florenz, den wir sehr genossen haben. Die Vermieter – sowohl Frau Dietsche als auch Alvaro sind sehr nett, hilfsbereit und jederzeit ansprechbar – vielen Dank dafür! Man wohnt in einer herrlichen Ruhe umgeben von Olivenhainen und toller Natur, ist aber auch sehr schnell in Florenz – für uns eine perfekte Kombination. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Einfach nur fabelhaft
Es war einfach einer der wunderbarsten Urlaube, die wir je verbracht haben. Dank auch an unsere Gastgeberin, die immer hilfsbereit war und geduldig alle unsere Fragen umgehend, umfassend beantwortet hat. Der Blick auf Florenz von der Terasse und vom Schlafzimmerfenster ist einfach atemberauend, unbeschreiblich und unvergesslich. Die Stadt erreicht man mit dem Auto sehr schnell, einfach und gut. Wir haben in der Regel im Parkhause Parterre an der Via del Ponte Rosso 4 ganztägig geparkt. Angefangene Stunde kostete 2 Euro, ganzer Tag 15 Euro. Von dort war alle gut zu erreichen. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit dort, alles genoßen und waren traurig, diesen wunderschönen Ort verlassen zu müssen. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Sehr schönes Haus, sehr nette Gastgeberin
Das Haus ist wie beschrieben und in jeder Beziehung zu empfehlen. Was man vielleicht beachten sollte: es ist wirklich recht abgelegen in den Hügeln vor Florenz. Wenn man viel unterwegs sein und die Toskana entdecken möchte, fährt man immer erst eine gewisse Strecke auf engen Straßen. Vielen Dank an Viviane für einen rundum schönen Aufenthalt! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, konnten wandern, abschalten und unsere Seelen baumeln lassen.

Gastfreundlich in wundervoller Lage und gemütlicher Einrichtung
Meine Schwester und ich verbrachten dort 11 Tage. Vor der Abreise erhielten wir eine genaue Wegbeschreibung und wurden bei Ankunft auf dem Berg von Vivienne herzlich begrüßt und betreut. Sie ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und wir konnten ihr wohlschmeckendes selbst geerntetes Olivenöl kosten und Zitronen ernten. Der Whirlpool ist an einem einzigartigen Ort angelegt mit atemberaubendem Blick in die toskanische Landschaft und auf Florenz. Wir konnten eine sehr erholsame Zeit in dem gemütlichen Haus und auf der wunderschönen Terasse verbringen und viele Ausflüge in die Umgebung unternehmen . Der Weg hinauf in die Berge war zuerst abenteuerlich, aber dann jedes Mal mit neuen Entdeckungen verbunden . Der Abschied fiel uns schwer. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen .
