About this property

House with Pool and Magnificent Views 15' from city center

La Piazzetta is part of a magnificent villa built in the second half of the XVII century in the hills between Florence and Fiesole. In the 1970s it underwent a complete restructuring and is now a totally independent and charming house with its own entrance, terrace, garden and pool. Five years ago it underwent another complete refurbishing. It has central heating, air conditioning, wifi and satellite TV connection. The living room, terrace and pool command breath-taking views of Fiesole and Florence from the Duomo to the hills of Impruneta. The house sits in a garden of olive trees and cypresses and from May to October you can enjoy all fresco dining in the terrace overlooking this beautiful panorama. The city center (Piazza della liberta) is 15 minutes away (6.4 Km) by car or 20 Minutes by bus. The bus stop for bus 25 is 800 meters from the house. This stunning location allows you to visit the busy city centre and its art treasures and twenty minutes later retreat to this peaceful garden to enjoy the pool amongst the olive trees.. The house itself is on two levels. On the first floor there is a living room, 2 bedrooms with a double bed each and a bathroom with a shower. Downstairs, a big kitchen with a table and six chairs can double as a dining room. There is also a bedroom and a bathroom with a bath tub as well as a separate laundry space. Outside a terrace will welcome you with a table and chairs for six. Please note there are 20 steps to get from the terrace to the pool. In the garden, the pool and sun deck amongst olive trees is equipped with umbrella and lounge chairs. We ask that you have the house cleaned once a week and the bed linen changed. We can also arrange for private visits to Florence with professional guides expert in the history of art of this beautiful city.

Property & facilities are great. The 50 steps down to the pool should be mentioned on the description but was not a problem for us..

Holidays in heaven (of Florence)

We had a wonderful stay in this beutifull house with an extraordinary view of Florence. There could be no better place to enjoy the cultural offers of the city and nevertheless beeing able to escape the hustle within minutes, whenever it becomes to hot and crowded. Everything in the house and the extraordinary garden and Pool was in perfect shape. The reception at arrival and the local organisation by Cecilia was extremely friendly and competent and we got many helpfull informations. Overall we can strongly recommend this extraordinary holiday home without any restriction. Everyone who loves to discover not only the city of Florence but also its vicinity and the beautifull hills of tuscany won‘t find a better place.

Amazing views

We really enjoyed our stay at Fabrizia’s. The property, pool, and views are amazing. Rosalba, the house manager, was extremely helpful and easy to work with. She even drove us to the grocery store since we arrived on a Sunday and it would be difficult for us to get food that day. We really appreciated her help. That said, we were disappointed to learn upon arrival that the air conditioning was not working and wouldn’t be repaired for the entirety of our month long stay. Having paid a premium for A/C and it being extremely hot in Florence this was definitely not ideal. A heads up prior to arrival would have been appreciated. We liked that the property was a bit out of the hustle and bustle of the city, but be prepared to learn the bus schedule or order a cab! Many thanks to Fabrizia for hosting us. We definitely made memories to last a lifetime!

We were very happy to host Kimmie and family and hope they’ll return. We were sorry for the delay in the upgrading of the air conditioning which unfortunately coincided with a hot spell. The matter is resolved now, helas too late for Kimmie to enjoy as we have just received a brand new air conditioner ready to replace the less performing one

A nature experience only 15 min's from Firenze city center by car

The property presented exactly as advertised. We were received at the agreed time by a very professional and welcoming Cecilia, who by the way speaks a delightfully clear English. The rooms fit our expectations, the deck is a marvel - and the treck to the pool is definitely worth every step on the custom built staircase, with a superb area for leisure. Parking was "spicy" to someone used to rather more flat countryside, but that was only to be expected when renting a property on the mountainside. Unexpected "bonus" for us was the lush pool towels supplied, as well as the mosquito deterrants left by the owners to assist with minimizing the unwelcome attentions by that particular part of nature. Only one 'negative' feature to comment - which after a couple of days was turned to a positive; the downstairs bedroom is fairly damp and cool. However, that came to be the teen's favorite afternoon place-to-be when not out and about. So all in all a warm recommendation from me to this retreat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very disappointing

Pool The pool was definitely not clean when we arrived as I went down there with my daughter the first morning and remarked how dirty the bottom of the pool was We naively assumed that someone would be coming shortly to clean it Cleaning a pool once per week is not acceptable especially as it was dirty to start with and became disgusting and unusable Properly description No mention is made of the 50 steps to the pool or that this villa would be unsuitable for anyone with who has any sort of problem with lots of steps. We were expecting some but not 50! Villa described as House with its own entrance terrace and pool but random people and dogs appear round the pool each day Kitchen horrified when we arrived as the kitchen smelt strongly of mould - quite disgusting. Luckily after a couple of days of leaving the window open the smell dissipated. However all food and drink still had to be carried upstairs as the kitchen chairs so low they are unusable. Plus not sufficient cutlery plates and no large water glasses The dumb waiter does not work which means all food and drink has to be carried up a steep flight of stairs. Access Only access via a sliding door which keeps sticking and jamming Altogether a 2-3 star experience at a 5 star price!

We are very sorry to hear you did not enjoy your holiday at our house. I can fully understand that illness, pain and bad weather can influence your experience. Exceptionally during your stay it rained a lot and was a strong thunderstorm which resulted in a cars being swept away in the city. Luckily we were not too touched but some grass was swept into the pool. Apologies for that although it would have been difficult to swim in these extreme weather conditions. Also I take your suggestion to make it explicit that there are 50 steps to get to the pool as shown in pictures. But contrary to what you state there are sufficient glasses and cutlery for a 6 person house and the chairs are a standard size. Wishing you a speedy recovery, I hope you next holiday will be a greater success

Toller Außenbereich, Riesenpool, mittelmäßiges Haus

Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage in den Hügeln von Florenz. Fussläufig ist zwar kaum etwas zu erreichen, die Buslinie ist aber sehr hilfreich, um in 20 Minuten bis in die Innenstadt von Florenz zu gelangen. Der Pool, die Aussicht etc. sind kaum besser zu bekommen, einfach klasse! Die Beschreibung des Hauses ist leider nicht besonders aussagekräftig, es handelt sich nicht um ein eigenes Ferienhaus, sondern um ein Zweifamilienhaus mit mindestens einer weiteren Bewohnerin. Leider gibt es keine Bilder von außen, eindeutige, offensichtliche Hinweise oder einen Grundriss, an denen man es hätte erkennen können. Der Urlaub war dennoch sehr schön und erholsam, trotz extrem hoher Temperaturen. Cecilia hat uns das Haus sehr nett und kompetent übergeben. Also alles in allem ein schöner Urlaub, herzlichen Dank!

Family stay - multi generation

Generally a fabulously located and stylish house with gorgeous pool area and terrace with sublime view of Florence. Lovely seating areas outside. The house is nice but a bit awkward for 6 (including teens and a 81 year old) and the kitchen is not so handy for the terrace upstairs. The downstairs bedroom fine for teen boys but May not suit a couple. It really needed a fan as a bit stuffy as partly below ground. Some in the family would have liked to be able to lock the Jack and Jill bathroom but it wasn’t really an issue. Rosalba was very efficient in helping us and letting us in and replacing the toaster. If you want a beautiful outside space and view as a priority then this is the house. If you want luxury inside space it does not offer that but is for all normal purposes comfortable and fine for a family visit.

About the host

Hosted by Fabrizia Fries

Host profile image
Hello, we are a Italian and French couple, living in Brussels and enjoying Florence as much as we can. We would like to share this beautiful city with you too. As we treasure this house, we'll engage with you to find out more about our guests so as to be able to provide you with the assistance you need. Cecilia Gallia helps us by meeting guests and settling them in. We hope you enjoy your stay. Fabrizia and Fabrice

Why they chose this property

This is a family house we are very happy to go back to. In 2008 we had it completly refurbished to make sure it was confortable and cosy for our family.

What makes this property unique

A stay in Tuscany can be unforgettable. The best works of art from the renaissance period and beyond, the food, the weather and above all the people of this city are the ingredients for a memorable stay. Our house is small enough to be manageable but spacious enough to cater for 6 people comfortably. The garden is big. And the pool and terrace which you have all for yourselves will allow you to rest and enjoy the weather after a busy day visiting the sights. From here you can easily drive around Tuscany and return for the evening. We hope you enjoy it as much as you do.
