About this house rental
Medieval portion of the villa. In ancient times it was the main entrance. Place of relaxation and charm just a few kilometers from Florence. Galileo Galilei, the father of modern science, stayed in the residence.
Historic house overlooking the ancient courtyard of Villa Buonamici. It was built in the 13th century as a fortification, being part of the towers to protect the valley and still retains the proud aspect of the tower. In the Renaissance it was transformed into a comfortable residence by the noble Buonamici family, friend of Galileo Galilei, who stayed here as a guest in the 17th century. At the entrance of the house, on the stone portal, the coat of arms of the noble family is carved. The house is located in the ancient village of Savignano set on the slopes of the Protected Area of the Monti della Calvana. It is located exactly on the border between the woods and fields of olive trees that descend to the valley floor, just above the slow-flowing stream and crosses the village until it reaches the small Romanesque church. It is arranged on one floor for a total of 200 square meters. It has been expertly restored and furnished with pieces from the ancient Tuscan tradition. It retains a particular charm, still having the ancient plaster and original terracotta tiles. On the ceiling of the main hall you can admire the typical Tuscan bricks dated A. D. 1658.
It has a private portion of the courtyard facing the house equipped with table, chairs and barbecue for outdoor meals, shared use of the pool and garden.
The pool can be shared with other guests.
possibility of 1 extra single bed on request.
possibility of cot and high chair on request.
the house is located in a medieval village overlooking a pristine stream and is completely surrounded by greenery on the border between the forest and the typical olive groves that characterize the Tuscan countryside.
Ideal point to easily reach places of cultural and historical interest, easily visited in a day (Florence, Prato, Pistoia, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Volterra and the other famous places of the splendid Tuscany). Car is required.

We really enjoyed the stay here in this countryside villa outside Vaino. After a very busy 4 days in Rome, we really appreciated the quiet, calm respite we found here. The pool was gorgeous and very refreshing on the hot afternoons. My kids especially liked the creek behind the residence with lovely fireflies at night. We will definitely return again!

We had a great time, our host was very helpful. The landscaping, the stream nearby, the view , the clean historic house was all very wonderful. Lounging by the pool was definitely a highlight of our trip. Thank you so much for a great experience!

This was our first trip to Italy and we absolutely loved it. Cristina was so sweet and patient with us as we hit some traffic on our way to the villa. It was everything we expected and more. She called and reserved a place for us to get dinner as we were starving after a day of travel. We ended up at that restaurant twice because we loved it so much! The villa looked exactly like the pictures and equipped with everything we needed. It was serene and so peaceful and we had the sound of the creek which was very relaxing. Cristina had a book full of recommendations of what to see where to eat among emergency numbers and anything you could think of. We will definitely be returning to Italy one day as there is still so much to see and do. We would stay here again without a doubt!
