Ideally located for Florence and the Chianti region
The property was ideal for the 4 of us. It was in very good condition and was lacking nothing. There is a lovely small garden for your use with an outside fixed BBQ. The hosts sister lives next door and was very helpful in recommending places to eat, to visit or best method for getting into Florence. Be aware that the roads in the area are narrow.

Lovely home from home
What’s not to like! Lovely spacious villa in the hills south of Florence in a very attractive location, with everything you need. The host, David, responded promptly and was most courteous and kind. The host’s sister lives next door and is a great support in sorting any problems and helping you find what you want, with advice on shopping, where to park for visits to Florence and local walks amongst other things. The patio and garden at the back was a great spot for eating breakfast and lounging in the sunshine. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the area. Highly recommend.

Business Trip in Florence Area
This is not the first trip that i and my business colleagues have traveled to Italy and used a VRBO as our choice of lodging in fact it is our preference! This beautiful home was exceptional. It was beautifully appointed. So comfortable. Overlooking the city! It was everything we needed and expected it to be. The terrace was exceptional! David was a consummate host. We will be back. I actually read reviews on the property that the roads were too steep to drive a SUV. We didn’t find it like that. Yes. We were on top of a beautiful mountain and the roads are more narrow than the highway but we simply took it slower so not to run into other traffic and it was fine. We loved it. David. Thank you for arranging for a lovely stay.
