Cozy & Nice Country house, only 9 km from Florence, pool,wine tour,free parking

The location and the views were wonderful. Eleanor was a fabulous hostess and was there to help us and answered all our questions. While it turned out to be fine, we were surprised that this was 2 separate efficiency apartments, each with it's own kitchen and bedroom/bathroom with an adjoining door and not a big apartment with 2 bedrooms and a lilving room/dining room and kitchen.It's centrally located close to Florence. grocery stores, restaurants and many wonderful wineries. The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed having a grill and pool, although the pool is not heated and will be air temperature. We had a great time, especially sitting outside in the morning on our porch with our morning coffee.

We loved the property. The views were absolutely gorgeous.

Nice simple accommodation on a working vineyard. Car essential.

The cons: We were 2 couples booked in a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment. Our apartment was up a very steep flight of stairs. The living area was small, the second bedroom was up a dangerous spiral staircase and the baths were so small with low ceilings that neither men could use them as they are both 6 '1" ! The apartment was not what we thought we had reserved, unlike the photos presented on Vrbo and the La Presura website. We went to reception and shared our concerns. We were granted a room move for the next day to 2 adjoining suites in a flat above the reception area which were much more favorable to our needs. it was an inconvenience to pack and move the second morning by 10am. We intended to do laundry during our stay as it was listed as having a washer and dryer avaiable, but laundry is sent out for a fee of 10 euro per load. There were mosquitos in the rooms and we were kept awake with bites during the night. The rooms are showing wear and could use refreshing. The pros: The hosts and the lady in the office were very nice and helpful with our concerns. Our suites had kitchens which were a nice feature for morning coffee and keeping our market purchases of cheese, meats, wine, etc. The property was beautiful outside, we had a balcony with tables and chairs. it was in a good location for exploring the chianti region and for a visit to Florence. We had expectations of a lovely Farm house in the country but it was on a very busy main road which tainted the ambiance.
