About this property

House with Pool and Magnificent Views 15' from city center

La Piazzetta is part of a magnificent villa built in the second half of the XVII century in the hills between Florence and Fiesole. In the 1970s it underwent a complete restructuring and is now a totally independent and charming house with its own entrance, terrace, garden and pool. Five years ago it underwent another complete refurbishing. It has central heating, air conditioning, wifi and satellite TV connection. The living room, terrace and pool command breath-taking views of Fiesole and Florence from the Duomo to the hills of Impruneta. The house sits in a garden of olive trees and cypresses and from May to October you can enjoy all fresco dining in the terrace overlooking this beautiful panorama. The city center (Piazza della liberta) is 15 minutes away (6.4 Km) by car or 20 Minutes by bus. The bus stop is 800 meters from the house. This stunning location allows you to visit the busy city centre and its art treasures and twenty minutes later retreat to this peaceful garden to enjoy the pool amongst the olive trees. The house itself is on two levels. On the first floor there is a living room, 2 bedrooms with a double bed each and a bathroom with a shower. Downstairs, a big kitchen with a table and six chairs can double as a dining room. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom with a bath tub as well as a separate laundry space. Outside a terrace will welcome you with a table and chairs for six. In the garden, the pool and sun deck amongst olive trees is equipped with umbrella and lounge chairs. We recommend that you have the house cleaned once a week and the bed linen changed. We can also arrange for private visits to Florence with professional guides expert in the history of art of this beautiful city.

Very disappointing
Pool The pool was definitely not clean when we arrived as I went down there with my daughter the first morning and remarked how dirty the bottom of the pool was We naively assumed that someone would be coming shortly to clean it Cleaning a pool once per week is not acceptable especially as it was dirty to start with and became disgusting and unusable Properly description No mention is made of the 50 steps to the pool or that this villa would be unsuitable for anyone with who has any sort of problem with lots of steps. We were expecting some but not 50! Villa described as House with its own entrance terrace and pool but random people and dogs appear round the pool each day Kitchen horrified when we arrived as the kitchen smelt strongly of mould - quite disgusting. Luckily after a couple of days of leaving the window open the smell dissipated. However all food and drink still had to be carried upstairs as the kitchen chairs so low they are unusable. Plus not sufficient cutlery plates and no large water glasses The dumb waiter does not work which means all food and drink has to be carried up a steep flight of stairs. Access Only access via a sliding door which keeps sticking and jamming Altogether a 2-3 star experience at a 5 star price!

Family stay - multi generation
Generally a fabulously located and stylish house with gorgeous pool area and terrace with sublime view of Florence. Lovely seating areas outside. The house is nice but a bit awkward for 6 (including teens and a 81 year old) and the kitchen is not so handy for the terrace upstairs. The downstairs bedroom fine for teen boys but May not suit a couple. It really needed a fan as a bit stuffy as partly below ground. Some in the family would have liked to be able to lock the Jack and Jill bathroom but it wasn’t really an issue. Rosalba was very efficient in helping us and letting us in and replacing the toaster. If you want a beautiful outside space and view as a priority then this is the house. If you want luxury inside space it does not offer that but is for all normal purposes comfortable and fine for a family visit.

Stunning views
We had an amazing week, the pool and views over Florence are stunning. The apartment is great and has everything you need. We got groceries delivered by Esselunga a casa and a great pizza delivery from Pizzeria Antica Badia. The bus into town was easy and then a taxi back. The owner was great at communicating and we had a wonderful welcome. Will be recommending to our friends!

Lovely property. Amazing pool and views. Rosalba was extremely helpful.
The property had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, air con and a well equipped kitchen. The views of Florence are amazing, even during a storm. The pool is large and deep for diving, but with steps in for easy access. We loved our stay and would highly recommend to others.

Beautiful villa close to Florence
This property is wonderful. The house is lovely, clean, excellent kitchen facilities, lovely furniture and luxurious bed linen. The air conditioning keeps the property cool even in the hottest weather we had (36 deg). But it's the outdoor terrace and the pool area which are really wonderful with astonishing views over Florence, including the Duomo, big, beautiful pool with lovely furniture. Rosalbo and Teo looked after us and the garden so well. We had a wonderful week here, many thanks.

Why they chose this property

This is a family house we are very happy to go back to. In 2008 we had it completly refurbished to make sure it was confortable and cosy for our family.

What makes this property unique

A stay in Tuscany can be unforgettable. The best works of art from the renaissance period and beyond, the food, the weather and above all the people of this city are the ingredients for a memorable stay. Our house is small enough to be manageable but spacious enough to cater for 6 people comfortably. The garden is big. And the pool and terrace which you have all for yourselves will allow you to rest and enjoy the weather after a busy day visiting the sights. From here you can easily drive around Tuscany and return for the evening. We hope you enjoy it as much as you do.
