Would have given a higher score if not for the beast of a hill to climb to reach the bus stop and the town. Other than that it was a nice stay for the 10 of us. The pool was very clean and inviting.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
We truly enjoyed our stay! The property has a very welcoming, authentic feel to it. We enjoyed the space it provided for our large group and we loved the pool/patio areas in the evenings. Host was very accommodating; provided us with everything we needed.

La Merlaia was everything I imagined that it would be. It was beautiful and truly a one of a kind Tuscany experience. Gaia & Andrea were always available and helped us by answering our questions and making great suggestions. Not far from the city of Florence, the stunning estate of La Merlaia offers you the chance to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the Tuscan hills. The house itself is just wonderfu, much more beautiful and bigger than it looks from the photographs - authentic Tuscan stone house, beautifully equipped and decorated with a great taste. Everything clean. There is also a fantastic swimming pool outside just renewed. We had also a chance to experience a great cooking class. We cannot say enough about our visit!
5.0 / 10.0·Mar 2018
We had a wonderful time at La Merlaia. Loved having the pool to come home to after a day of exploring. The bedrooms are very large, the kitchen was stocked with every cooking utensil, pan and serving dish you would ever need, fantastic billiard table and huge dining room. We would recommended it to all.
