Our stay in the hills of Florence was absolutely unforgettable. The house was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family of six (my husband and I, our two boys, and my parents). The setting was peaceful and breathtaking—you could hear the church bells ring from the nearby village of Settignano, which added such a special touch to the atmosphere. The sunsets were gorgeous!Our boys loved swimming in the pool every day, while I especially enjoyed strolling through the olive grove and exploring the vast property. It truly felt like a slice of Tuscan paradise.What made our stay exceptional, though, was the owner, Giovanni. He was such a kind and generous host, always available to answer questions and eager to help. When our luggage was delayed for several days, Giovanni went above and beyond—making calls on our behalf and even driving to the airport himself to retrieve our bags. His thoughtfulness and care made all the difference.One word of advice for future guests: do not rent a large passenger van when staying here. The roads leading to the property are very narrow and winding, and we unfortunately damaged our rental van trying to navigate them. A smaller vehicle would be much better suited.This property is a gem, and Giovanni is a treasure. We would return in a heartbeat!

The Florence views were amazing.Definitely meet the owner in the next town over upon arrival if driving, since it is tricky to enter the driveway to the villa. Recommend a small to midsize vehicle since Florence roads can be very small (we pulled in our mirrors to travel through some roads).The owner is very helpful and friendly. Great stories about the villa when we saw him caring for the property. Also, allowing to have the groceries stocked upon arrival was wonderful. Great service. Pool had a great view and was kept very clean. A little walk from the villa but lovely.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2023
The setting of the villa in the hills above Florence is impressive. There's a lovely pool also with magnificent views. The property is isolated and therefore extremely quiet and peaceful. The house is in need of some maintenance- from the front door which sticks to the air-conditioning in the first bedroom upstairs on the left which doesn't work and numerous other small things which need fixing,replacing or updating.
