We had a wonderful stay at this property- it was very peaceful and serene. It felt like a true taste of Tuscany living.
The villa is very well maintained and much larger than it looks in the photos and has an unbeatable value for money. The host was also very responsive and accommodating.
Would highly recommend this lovely Villa and would love to return ! Thank you

Amazing!
Fantastic place, close enough to Florence for the trip in the city to never be an inconvenience, but far enough away that you get the country-side experience. Lots of amenities (billiard/snooker table, small private soccer court, nice pool). Everything was clean and well organized when we got there. The locator was very friendly and helped us giving every information we needed to organize our tours.
Thanks to Gaia∧rea for letting us stay at the villa.
I would say that staying at this villa far exceeded our expectations.
The house is very clean and well maintained and had everything we needed for a great stay. The bedrooms are all huge and perfect for accommodating our large family, the kitchen is well stocked, the lounges and dining room have beautiful typical decor and we really enjoyed the pool table.
The gardens is beautiful and the pool is large, well maintained and has a good amount of chairs and loungers.
It is within walking distance of San Donato in Collina where you can find 2 food shops and a butcher's shop. Two large supermarkets can be reached in 10 minutes by car and the city centre of Florence, with all its splendid monuments, can be reached in not even 20 minutes by car or even by bus.
Thanks also to Dafina, the housekeeper, who provides a great service.
