This was everything that it promised! The property is amazing. David was a great host and having his sister right next door was a godsend. She was very helpful with tips of places to go and ideas of how to get there. She even helped us order a taxi one morning. We had a fantastic time! It is definitely worth the visit!

The villa was large and spacious, just a note, there is only one shower. That wasn’t clear in the pictures on VRBo. We made it work! There is only one key provided l, we wish there would have been two sets of keys. The gas stove probably needs to be replaced. Only a couple of the burners worked, so we were a little bummed out when cooking. However, the villa is a fortress and absolutely beautiful. If you are not used to recycle restrictions; this will be difficult for some. It is very precise. A car is an absolute must! Otherwise; the villa was outstanding! The owner was available any time I had questions and was very nice.

Amazing stay!

David provided very helpful and accurate information to transportation, groceries and more. This house was even better than I was expecting. It was so roomy. It was clean and extremely comfortable. The views were unreal from every single room. We had no trouble finding the place and it was so close to the bus stop where there was free parking so we could go into the city for the day. It was close to a grocery store which we utilized. We seriously loved this house so much. We def plan to come back again!!

Our family of 4, incl 2 teens really enjoyed the quick commute to the countryside after a busy day in Florence. House had 2 bathrooms, large bedrooms and enough space to spread out. Backyard view and patio space made meals outside a treat! Cable TV was a hit with the teens. Owner was very responsive…

Tuscan Heaven

This house was exactly what we wished for on our first visit to Italy for our 20th year anniversary! The views from the house and the back yard are extraordinary! The heated floors were a very comfortable feature. We didnt use the kitchen for very much cooking but it great for morning coffees and evening drinks and snacks. The host was very helpful in providing transportation information and always responded to our questions. The road to the house is definitely narrow and you have to be cautious and fully attentive. We had a car the whole time. When we went into Florence or to catch a train we would leave our car in a free parking lot about 3 minutes away and ride the bus into the city. Very convenient! Thank you very much David for being a great host and sharing your beautiful home with us.

Wonderful Tuscan stay

Fantastic location near Florence. In driving distance to Florence yet it feels secluded and private. The view from the bedrooms and backyard is stunning. The house was in immaculate condition with all amenities for a wonderful stay. The host David was extremely responsive and professional. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a house with character in the countryside yet accessible to the main city centres.

Beautiful villa for Christmas

Fantastic villa for a family. We stayed for 4 x nights over Christmas. Nice Kitchen with a dining table near.Lounge a little small but cozy. There is a seperate small lounge near the bedrooms, tv didn’t work, but probably good as it was near the bedrooms.Has an upstairs mezzanine bedroom with small ensuite, a little load if people are still awake downstairs, but great.Beautiful garden and table area outside, it was Christmas so very cold, but enjoyable.Has a bbq pizza oven, but did not use, too cold.Villa is very nice, but away from any restaurant or shops. You need to be self sufficient, so buy your groceries at the nearby town, as it is a narrow road all the way up... spectacular views.This place is nice if you want a quiet villa in the hills.Enjoyed our family Christmas in Florence at this villa.

What an incredible place

We loved our stay. From the start David sent all kinds of information. We had a few more questions about the bus and the area, David sent answers with in minutes with GPS maps. We loved the view, the Persimmon and Pomegranate from the trees in the yard were delicious. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were awesome, everything was clean. We stayed at 3 other locations this trip and this was our favorite. My wife said the blow dryer was the best blow dryer in Italy.

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.

3 Weeks in Luxury Tuscon Villa

My wife and I chose this Villa based on the location as well as the pictures provided in the advertisement. The location was absolutely fabulous. My son and daughter in law joined us the first week, and all the excursions in the Tuscon region were within a hour to an hour and a half drive from the Villa. It was very convenient. Also there are a couple very small towns nearby where we did our grocery shopping as well as small specialty shops and restaurants. The Villa was very clean and had all the amenities' (Washer, Large Fridge, Dishwasher, Oven and Microwave. The property manager was great to work with as well as his sister who lived next door to the Villa. They both were always available to answer our questions and to make reservations and order us Pizza the first night we arrived late for check in. I would absolutely recommend this property, we loved it.

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!
