Former Barn in the countryside, scenic, overlooking Florence

The apartment was comfortable & homey, & the hillside view of the Tuscany hills was beautiful. Alvaro was a gracious host that went the extra mile to make sure our stay was the best it could be. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a hideaway outside of the hustle & bustle of Florence. Thank you Alvaro we look forward to seeing you again sometime soon!

Our Easter holiday in Italy was simply unforgettable. Alvaro and his family welcomed us so warmly – we felt at home from the very first moment. The accommodation is a dream, with breathtaking views of Florence and surrounded by beautiful nature. There are wonderful hiking trails everywhere, charming little restaurants, and so many lovely details that made our stay truly special.Our children absolutely loved it, and we enjoyed every single minute. Of course, there were a few small negative things, but that’s just part of the experience – it makes the memories even more real.It was a time full of happiness and beautiful moments. We will definitely come back with all our hearts. Thank you for everything!

This property keeps what it promises. Marvelous view of above Florence from the terrace. Very quiet and comfortable. Alvaro the host, is always very helpful with tips for the surrounding area. And is keen on making your stay pleasant and memorable any way he can.

We enjoyed our stay in this charming and updated farmhouse. Our host Alvaro was helpful and communicated very promptly and clearly. Some things it's important to know about the property: 1. The roads leading in are very winding, 1-lane (2-way) roads and can be challenging especially at night. You have to execute an uphill 3-point turn to get into the driveway. If you are not comfortable with this kind of driving, it's not a good fit for you. 2. Driving into Florence is pretty easy, but takes ~30 min and you will need to pay for parking. Drive to bus is an option but takes a while and the buses can be unreliable (ours had special changed routes and schedules so it was a long trip). 3. The area of this rental is quiet and peaceful; there are no stores or restaurants in walking distance. There is good hiking nearby. 4. There is one bathroom, and neither the second bed (foldout) in the 2nd bedroom nor the sofa was very comfortable. We found the kitchen fairly well stocked, and appreciated being able to do laundry and dry it easily on a provided rack. The wi-fi worked perfectly. If the description suits what you need and you are OK with the location, it's a lovely place and the hosts are wonderful people.
