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!!

Great escape!
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!

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!

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.

Best VRBO stay in Europe ever
Staying at this property in the hills outside Florence was an absolute delight. It was perfect in all respects. Spacious home with plenty of space and privacy for our 2 older couples. Beautifully landscaped and backyard patio and rolling hills and fields in distance. While owner livers away, his sister is next door. David (owner) sent has multiple clear video's of how to use various appliances and gave us precise directions on how to reach property well in advance. Property is basically a spacious and modern 3 br 2 bath home in the rolling hills outside Florence. HIs sister Delphina was a godsend and lives next door. She helped us with everything and was always available for tips and directions., She took the time to send us detailed maps and instructions and was always available via text or phone. Like having your daughter living next door!. Perfect location for a base to visit the countryside, city, and all of Tuscany. We wished we could have stayed for more but the property was booked after us. We will most definitely be back and give this property our full and complete endorsement. Thank you David and Dephina for a most pleasant and stress free vacation.

Beautiful Cottage
We truly enjoyed our vacation in this quient, beautiful Cottage in the hills. The grounds and view from the terrace was remarkable! The house was clean, modern and decorated lovely. The beds were comfortable and there's lots of room to spread out in the alcove and living areas. This kitchen was spacious and well equipped/stocked. We also loved being only 20 minutes outside the City in this private and quiet neighborhood. David, Elias and especially Delfina were wonderful accommodating hosts. We are so grateful for the constant communication, referrals to sites and restaurants, assistance with the house and directions. We highly recommend this gorgeous home and look forward to coming back next time we are in Florence.
