Perfection
Our stay was absolutely amazing. Andrea made the stay so much more personal by buying us groceries for our very late check in, recommending restaurants and driving us to places we would otherwise have struggled to get to. The accommodation was perfect and we could not have asked for a better time!

Italien pur- Schöne Landschaft und tolles Ambiente
In diesem stilvollen und wunderschön eingerichteten Gebäudeteil der Fattoria Il Leccio haben wir Andrea 10 herrliche Tage verbracht. Der große Swimmingpool war perfekt für einen entspannten Urlaub. Die Gastgeberfamilie Passigli hat uns sehr nett empfangen und sehr fürsorglich beherbergt. Mit dem Auto ist man in 10‘ in Caldine, hier bekommt man alles im Coop und kann in den Bars einen guten Cappuccino trinken. Hier gelangt man vom Bahnhof aus in 20‘ nach Santa Maria Novella mitten in Florenz! Perfekt für die Städtetour. Auch die weiten verzweigten Wanderwege im wunderschönen Wandergebiet Parco Giogo-Casaglio sind fantastisch. Andrea hat uns immer super Restaurant Tipps gegeben, so haben wir in der Pizzeria „le 4 Strade“ die beste Pizza unseres Lebens gegessen. Es war ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt. Danke an Andrea und Familie!

Amazing Stay
We had a fantastic stay. The accommodations and property are beautiful, and the pool was perfect. We used it almost every day. We couldn’t have asked for more. Andrea was a fabulous host. He was always available if needed. We even purchased his olive oil to take home and share with extended family. We hope to come back sometime. Thank you!

Ontspannen verblijf
Wij hebben heerlijk genoten van het ontspannen verblijf in deze vakantiewoning. Fijn onthaal door Andrea met de nodige tips voor de omgeving maar vooral genoten van de mooie vergezichten en de rust. Een aanrader!!!

Idyllic and relaxing Tuscan retreat
This apartment had all that we could have hoped for a stay in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The property itself was charming, quiet, and very comfortable, and the organic olive farm in which it is situated is beautiful with stunning views of the hills surrounding Florence. Of course, the olive oil produced on the farm was delicious. It really did feel like staying in a little slice of paradise. The apartment is located outside a lovely village that is outside the beaten tourist path; going to the shops and fantastic restaurants, we felt like we were the only non-locals there, which made us feel like we were truly experiencing the local culture. Andrea, Sandra, and Lorenzo are very friendly and welcoming hosts who provided all the comforts and advice we needed for a relaxing stay. The instructions Andrea provided for arriving were very detailed and his recommendations for exploring the area were well considered. We really enjoyed chatting with them and hearing Andrea's beautiful piano playing drift into the patio as we sat outside. Our only regret is that we had to return home! We hope to return to this special place one day.

I inherited this property. The vacation rentals help subsidize our Agricultural firm 'Fattoria Il Leccio' that produces top quality organic olive oil and other natural products.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful country stay overlooking one of the most beautiful valleys in Tuscany and enjoying a refreshing swim in the pool after spending a morning or afternoon immeresed in the beauty of the Renaissance art that is found in Florence or other nearby towns like Siena, Pisa, Lucca and many more. As well as tasting one of the world’s top quality olive oils.
