About this property

La casa di Marcello - panoramic house in the heart of Florence countryside

It is a simple and typical country house built at the top of a hill facing the village of Vinci: on the ground floor the big kitchen with the fire-place, the room to keep wheat and “salami”, the dining-room for very special occasions; on the first floor all the bed-rooms (for grand-parents, parents and four children). There was also the cellar with the big barrels of wine and the olive-oil.

The name of the property is the original name from the area surrounding that was called “Marcello”, the land around the house was and still is all cultivated with olive trees as well as a vineyard on the east side at the bottom of the hill; in front of the house there’s a “barn” to keep working tools, it housed the rabbits, the pigs and on the west side there was the hen-run.

The house has remained as it was except for the 2 bathrooms on first floor, also the heating of the house is as it used to be: the fire-place in the kitchen and a big wood stove upstairs to heat the bed-rooms

Im Herzen der Toskana
Hervorragende Lage für Ausflüge zu den Toskana- Highlights. Schöner Ausblick, gut ausgestattete Küche. Kleiner Wermutstropfen: keinerlei Mückenschutz an Fenstern und Türen. Für 5-6 Erwachsene perfekt!

Amazing proprty, very friendly host
We had a wonderful stay. First the location: simply amazing, at the end of th world, a view that you only read about in books, and in the middle of an olive garden. Wow, this is what everyone needs for a vacation. When we arrived (early) Laura welcomed us. Communication was excellent and very clear. Super hostess! We had a wonderful stay, it is close to any ancient italien treasure like pisa, luca and florence, and of course o the Vinci village. Trains from empoli bring you everwhere you want. In short, THE PLACE TO BE. We really enjoyed it.

Beautiful views and great space
The views are amazing! The rooms are all spacious. While having a classic villa feel, the right modern updates have been made to make your stay more comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied. Make sure to get there while there is still plenty of light as finding the place is a little tricky the first time. Thanks to Laura for her hospitality and great dinner and wine tour recommendations, we really enjoyed them. Wonderful experience!

Hermosas vistas y tranquilidad entre olivos
Hemos pasado 14 días fantásticos en la Casa de Marcelo. Una casa toscana muy amplia para los amigos y la familia. La ubicación cerca de Vinci y de Empoli, con todos los servicios necesarios. El acceso ha sido fácil para conectar con autopistas y carreteras para recorrer los pueblos de la región. Laura ha sido muy amable al recibirnos y al responder a nuestras preguntas. Magnificas puestas de sol en el olivar con magnificos vinos de Chianti.
