This beautiful 19th century country home, recently restored, is part of the “ Fattoria Il Leccio” lived and owned by the Passigli family for four generations. It sits on top of a hill overlooking the Valle del Mugnone, a gorgeous valley that offers panoramic views of gently slopping hills cultivated with well-tended olive groves as well as views of the town of Fiesole and the city of Florence. Giovanni Boccaccio in his 13th Century Decameron, locates some of his stories in this valley.

Personal transportation is advisable. Public transportation, (bus and train) are available at the bottom of the hill in the village of Caldine. It is a 10/15 minute walk through the hilly bucolic countryside. The train, a 12 minute ride from the Fiesole /Caldine station to Santa Maria Novella station in the center of Florence, runs approximately every hour. The buses, a 30 minute ride, also take you into Florence. There is little public transportation after 8pm. Caldine has a supermarket as well as post office and bank. It also has doctor and ambulance service. Please contact us for further details.

Beautiful property - well equipped and tastefully furnished.
Beautiful surroundings with very nice swimming pool. Owners/hosts are delightful and the local wildlife (neighbourhood dog, deer and rabbit!) very friendly. The photographs don't do it justice and there are 2 other apartments on the property that would facilitate a larger group. Highly recommended.

Fantastisch, alles hat gestimmt!
Das Objekt ist genauso traumhaft wie in der Beschreibung und den Reviews beschrieben. Wir hatten 2 wundervolle Wochen mit unseren Kindern. Andrea (der Host) ist fantastisch. Der Pool ist wunderschön und perfekt mit kleinen Kindern, die nicht schwimmen können, weil eingezäunt und nicht direkt an den Wohnungen. Die Lage ist traumhaft. Was auch besonders toll ist, sind die Klimaanlagen in den Schlafzimmern. Die Einrichtung ist auch sehr hochwertig - die Küche größer als bei uns daheim. Absolut wunderbar!

Great hide
This is a gem for all who search for a hide near of Florenz. The owner, Andrea, is ery nice and extremely helpful. He took us from the airport and tok us back to the airport, too. So we could rent a small car for the time being there since we did not need to care about the transport of the baggage. The large condo is fitted with everyrthing and with lots of paintings. Florence and Fiesole are close and easily to arrive but you need a car for going from the "fattoria" to Caldine where you can reach Florence by train within 15 minutes. The last 500 meters is a small graval road so don't ret a sports car, but our Mini made the wa.y. Caldine spots a good supermarket and a "Pizzeria" with really good pizze. The pool is great and really large and meticiously serviced. The depth of the water is 1,20 meters, it is great for children (and adults) up from 6 years. Some mosquitos, but they are existing in midtown Florence in July as well. If you look for a calm place with all amenites and a great pool and close to Firenze, you are right here!

Wunderschön!
Christine B. Wer Ruhe und Natur liebt ist hier genau richtig, und das vor den Toren der großen Renaissancestadt Florenz. Die Weitläufigkeit des Grundstückes bietet immer wieder etwas zu entdecken in Flora und Faune, etwa verschiedene Vogelarten oder kaum scheue Rehböcke. Zu Fuß kann man das Anwesen in verschiedene Richtungen verlassen und möglichst mit Hilfe einer Wander-App Spaziergänge oder Wanderungen anschließen. Das Anwesen besitzt drei Ferienwohnungen, die aber weit genug voneinander entfernt liegen, so dass man mit den anderen Feriengästen nicht konfrontiert ist. Der Pool, der Tag und Nacht benutzt werden darf, bietet aufgrund seiner Größe und Abgeschiedenheit ein reines Vergnügen. Besonders liebenswürdig, aber auch diskret ist die Vermieterfamilie, der das Wohl ihrer Gäste sichtlich ein Anliegen ist, was sich in der Gepflegtheit der Innen- und Außenbereiche zeigt; die aber auch jederzeit für Fragen ihrer Gäste zur Verfügung steht. Die Wohnung hat eine sehr schöne Aufteilung; besonders gut durchdacht und komfortabel sind die beiden Bäder im Obergeschoss und die Toilette in Küchennähe. Man fühlt sich schnell wie zu Hause. Gerne in einem anderen Jahr wieder!

Lovely
We stayed for 6 days in June of 2016. The home is beautifully maintained and very private. Andrea is a wonderful host. Driving to Florence takes about 20 minutes and the train is only 12 minutes. Highly recommended! A wonderful experience that I would hope to repeat soon.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Passigli

Host profile image
Lorenzo, a graduate in Agricultural Sciences, works in the Farm every day, experimenting innovative methods of organic farming, producing olive oil, various vegetables, fruits and saffron. Flavia, Arts Manager, cellist, passionate about music and theater, loves to take care of the development of the planning and communication of the Agriturismo. The mother Sandra, a graduate in Political Science, devotes her time to furnishing and designing the apartments. Andrea the father, concert pianist and former Conservatory teacher, divides his time between love for music and for the countryside. The quality of our guests' stay is our first motivation, offering a friendly welcome and attention to any of their needs to make them feel at home.

Why they chose this property

I inherited this property. The vacation rentals help subsidize my son’s Agricultural firm 'Fattoria Il Leccio' that produces top quality 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 immersed 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. Collapse
