La campagne toscane à son meilleur

Un endroit fabuleux pour qui aime la campagne toscane. Les hôtes sont charmants, accueillants et discrets. Ils ont eu à notre endroit de délicates attentions à notre arrivée (fleurs, fruits, produits de base etc…Évidemment ça prend une voiture pour sillonner les environs. À Barberino on trouve tout, épicerie, pharmacie, resto, essence….. Nous avons choisi le mois d’octobre pour éviter les chaleurs extrêmes qui se prolongent jusqu’au début octobre. Vous allez apprécier vivre dans une vraie maison qui a déjà été habitée par les propriétaires. On y trouve tout et en abondance. Il y a climatisation et chauffage. Nous avons apprécié le stationnement privé. Stefano et Monica sauront vous faire aimer la Toscane. Nous recommandons l’endroit sans réserve. Profitez de cet endroit unique.

Perfect Tuscany Getaway.

The farmhouse is at the end of a gravel road in the Tuscan hills, the perfect setting for complete relaxation. Hosts were very kind - including fresh fruit when we arrived and winery recommendations. Less than a hour to Florence, so visiting there was easy as well.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Sangberg and Stefano Crivelli

We are a couple, an Italian Architect and a Swedish Painter, living in an antique farmhouse that we have restored. It's a traditional Tuscan farmhouse divided in two units: we live in one of them and rent the other, which is nearby and has it's separate entrance and secluded beautiful garden.

Why they chose this property

Living in Florence, years ago we fell in love with this house in the Mugello Valley. We decided to buy it and started the restoration made by skilled local craftsmen. It has been a long, passionate and accurate work and now we live here since 12 years.

What makes this property unique

It's a very special spot, magic and quiet surrounded by beautiful nature. Close to Florence and all the Art Cities. The lake, that you can see from the garden and where you can make nice walks is 10 minutes drive from the house.
