Vineyard cottage, 30 minutes to Florence

A great place to stay with a well equipped kitchen and a little library, The views were amazing and the house was comfortable. Be sure that you have a car that's a little higher off the ground because the driveway is the way a lot of house lanes are, a little bumpy, but nothing that can't be navigated by a slightly bigger car.

Great country villa!! We stayed here for 2 weeks to enjoy Tuscany. Jane the host was the best we have ever experienced. She is on site, stayed in touch and provided great information about the area. The last 1/4 mile to the property is a little rough but nothing a car cannot handle. It can be a little crazy the first time. It is super easy to get to the town of Pontassieve (10-12 minutes by car) and take the train wherever you want to go. Florence is only 25 minutes by train. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for an out of the way place but close enough to get to explore.

I can't say enough good things about both the cottage and the hosts. Jane welcomed us warmly and showed us around. The views from our windows were gorgeous. We loved the cottage; in fact, we loved the entire property. She and her husband, Giampiero, recommended places to visit: local towns, restaurants, coffee shops, and gelato shops as well as a wonderful wine tour and tasting at the castle above the property, which Jane bookled for us. We're hikers and enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds and a road leading up to the castle. When our rental car nearly had a flat Jane noticed and gave us the name of a tire shop and the time they closed. If she hadn't we would surely have had a blowout out in the country somewhere. We tired of very touristy places early on in our trip and were grateful for their less-touristy recommendations. Another American couple staying there said it was their second visit and I can see why. If we return to Tuscany, which is everything we thought it would be and more, we'd definitely stay there again. It didn't hurt that although we don't speak Italian (I'm sorry to say), Jane is fluent in both English and Italian. One or our best VRBO experiences ever!

Jane and Giampiedro were wonderful host ! Very helpful and spot on recommendations . The accommodations are comfortable and relaxing . The property is everything you would expect and more from a visit to Tuscany! Highly recommend the wine Tour located above the cottage !
