About this property

Villa Martinelli, a great value apt. with private salt water Pool, Wi-Fi, and AC

Welcome to Villa Martinelli, a lovely 2 bedroom cosy apartment with private pool and the most amazing hosts. The little apartment has a a kitchen/living room, upstairs a double bed and a single bed in 2 bedrooms. There is a bathroom with shower attached to the bedrooms. There is a huge patio that can be reached from the kitchen/ living room via French doors.

With magnificent views over the historic city of Pistoia, within easy reach of the Tuscan capital Florence, Villa Martinelli is perfectly placed to relax by the pool and take time to visit the treasures of Tuscany.

Villa Martinelli is in the small village of Valdibrana, noted in Tuscany for its production of delicious olive oil. The house is in a beautiful olive grove, producing some of the best oil in the area. The apartment is newly renovated, with a double and a single bedroom. Please note, the single bed can be made into a bunk bed.

The location above Pistoia ensures that the air is always fresh, and there is air conditioning for when the weather becomes hot.

A fine private salt water pool makes this a very desirable, great value holiday property.

The nearest grocery store is 2KM away. The city of Pistoia is easily accessible by bus (approx 20 minutes). Taxi's into the city are not expensive and only take 15 minutes. The city of Pistoia has many restaurants, bar/cafes as well as shops and museums. Pistoia Blues, a music festival happens every July/

Nearby Florence is easily reached by car or train in 30 minutes.

Your hosts Stefano and Beatrice will make sure that your stay with them is peaceful and relaxing. Stefano produces what is considered by locals to be the best olive oil in the area, and he also used to be a chef at one of Tuscany's top restaurants. He is very generous with his olive oil and other produce. You will have a very authentic Tuscan experience here.

Fabulous Tuscan Retreat
This is a perfect place for a couple. The inside was great for the two of us and the outside space and pool was fabulous. As for our hosts we couldn’t have asked for a more friendly, helpful and generous family. When we arrived it was late afternoon and the local restaurant was closed so we were offered and presented with a wonderful home cooked pasta dish. Throughout our stay we were given wine, Prosecco and olive oil all locally produced and wonderful. We had a great time and can’t thank our hosts enough. One thing to note is a spiral staircase which was fine for us but might be tricky for some.

Excellent villa for relaxing break
Villa Martinelli is set in a beautiful, quiet hilltop location with stunning views from the apartment and outdoor areas. The facilities inside and out are excellent. The hosts were friendly, helpful and generous but also were respectful of our privacy. The location is handy for visiting Pistoia and beyond but we were so comfortable at the villa that we enjoyed the sun, the views and the peace there for most of our stay.

Perfect for our small family
We have just returned from a lovely two week stay at Villa Martinelli. The house is perfect for a family of three - small but perfectly adequate as you are likely to spend most of your time outdoors! The pool is fabulous and well maintained. The extensive terrace with beautiful views over Pistoia is great as there are places which are in shade at different time of the day. The house was clean and well maintained and there is air conditioning upstairs which was excellent. A real bonus was the lovely owners - not only did they keep us stocked up with delicious zucchine from the their garden, but they were very responsive if we had any queries about the house or the area. We had a great time and would thoroughly recommend staying at Villa Martinelli if you’re looking for a relaxing, away from it all break or a base for exploring northern Tuscany. Thank you to Beatrice, Stefano and Michele for your hospitality.

Perfect location
We spent the second week of our holiday at Villa Martinelli and it was fantastic. The apartment is simple but comfortable and the pool was lovely. The best part is the location as its only 5KM to Pistoia, a really cool city with loads of restaurants and shops, and only 30 minutes to Florence. If anything we preferred Pistoia to Florence! Stefano and Beatricce were so nice and gave us eggs and tomatoes. We also bought some olive oil that they produce. Delicious!
