About this property

VISTA bungalow has a bright open plan layout in modern, rustic style. It is peaceful here. Overlooking the gorgeous Chianti Rufina vineyards of the Castello di Nipozzano estate, it is difficult to believe we are just 30 minutes from central Florence. You would not even know the busy town of Pontassieve is nearby. Hop on a train from Pontassieve and you will be in Florence in 25 minutes.
This is a genuinely rustic location! You need a car to stay here. Be prepared to drive a 1km farm road through the vineyards to reach the property.
You will rewarded with lovely views and a peaceful location. This makes a great base for visiting Tuscany. And the prestigious Castello di Nipozzano is within walking distance for winetastings in an unforgettable Tuscan setting.

Great Tuscany Experience

Jane and her wonderful husband were so accommodating. They were a wealth of information of places to go & see and where to eat. Their place is in a beautiful location which gives you the true Tuscan experience. Jane arranged for us us to have the most wonderful wine tasting at the Frescobaldi winery. Because Jane knew we were arriving from a long flight from Canada she offered to get us supplies beforehand so that we would have something to eat and not have to go grocery shopping upon arrival. Their home is surrounded by gardens which they grow their own herbs which they told us to help ourselves to. Everything in their listing was as stated and even more. If we could give more than a five star rating we would. When we visit Tuscany again we will definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for making our Tuscany experience one of the best.

Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft

Sehr nette hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Uns hat die Kombination von Stadtbesichtigungen in Florenz und ruhigen Tagen auf dem Land sehr gut gefallen. Direkt vom Ferienhaus gibt es wunderschöne gekennzeichnete Wanderwege. Es ist hilfreich mit Tageslicht anzukommen, da das Ferienhaus etwas abgelegen aber landschaftlich sehr schön gelegen ist.

Idylle pur!

Wie schon viele andere Mieter bevor, können wir das Häuschen und die sehr netten Vermieter nur loben! Es ist beim ersten Mal nicht ganz einfach zu finden😊, man wird aber mit einer idyllischen Lage in den Weinbergen belohnt! Jane und Gianpietro sind sehr nette Leute, die sich um alles kümmern und helfend zur Seite stehen. Auf jeden Fall eine gute Adresse, um die Toskana zu erkunden oder nach den Ausflügen entspannt auf der Terrasse die Aussicht zu genießen.

Ein wunderschönes Haus in traumhafter Umgebung

Es war eine wunderbare Woche. Jane und Giampiero sind sehr nette Gastgeber. Sie haben viele Tipps und sind immer hilfsbereit. Da wir am Sonntag angereist sind, konnten wir sogar eine Einkaufliste abgeben, so dass wir versorgt waren. Das Haus ist wunderschön und es fehlt an nichts. Liebe Jane und lieber Giampiero, vielen Dank für die fantastische Woche, die viel zuschnell vorbei war. Annette und Stephan

About the host

Hosted by Jane

I live at Borgo di Sopra with my family. I am English and my husband is Italian with a lifetime's knowledge of Tuscany.
We have been welcoming guests since 2008 and are Premium Partners of VRBO.
Times have changed but we have always worked to make our guests feel at home here.
I personally oversee the housekeeping, with particular care for attentive cleaning .
We are happy to share our local knowledge with you and help you get the most out of your stay in this part of Italy.

Why they chose this property

Borgo di Sopra is a great escape. Isolated but not remote.
You truly feel away from it all. You are in the midst of nature in a place of enormous beauty. There is lots of wildlife here, from deer to pheasants, hares, porcupines and all sorts of birdlife.
Our 3 apartments have great views onto the vineyards of the Castello di Nipozzano. Each apartment has its own front door and outside terrace for personal use.
The property is reached by a private farmroad. You are off the beaten track!
But the town of Pontassieve is less than 10 minutes by car with a large supermarket and train station.

What makes this property unique

At Borgo you can walk uphill to the lovely Castello di Nipozzano. There has been a castle here since the year1000. The position dominates the surrounding countryside. But there is also a handsome Villa from the 1700s. Its aristocratic elegance charms and intrigues you. The wines here are impressive and on sale in the winestore.
