I would recommend everyone who stays in Florence/Firenze to leave the town for a couple of days and go to this beautiful house. A very relaxing retreat at the most generous and kind family! The view, the house and the surrounding nature is just amazing! We are so happy that we found this special place. If we go to Florence again and we will definitely come back again!

Bellissima casa immersa nel verde. È' stata un'Esperienza molto positiva, Erika e' davvero gentilissima e super disponibile. Abbiamo trascorso una piacevole serata in compagnia della sua famiglia! Sicuramente lo consigliamo.

Amazing hosts who made us feel at home the whole time. Very kind and helpful in every way.

To be honest, I've hadn't big expectations cause I booked the place at the last moment before my trip. But my experience was great. We was a little late for our arrival (in the small hours) but Erika's mom was wаiting and settle us. The place was even better than it looks! It was (like my girlfriend said) like a castle! Clean, spacious room, with large (private) bathroom. The lady was really kind. Even she wasn't speaking english she was helpful and hospitable. The place is just 15min from Florence and from the road down you could see great panoramic views. Thank you! Regards,

Ci siamo trovati benissimo, in una atmosfera amichevole e famigliare.

We had a lovely time in this beautiful old Italian villa! The room and bathroom were big and clean. Erika's mom took care of us, while Erika was on holidays. Erika even left us a note in wich she recommended a few beautiful sites and prommised to be availible at any time. Her mom doesn't speak English, but with a little French and a dictinonary helpt us to comunnicate. Great place just 15 kilometers away from Florence.

We really enjoyed our stay at erikas place. It is a beautiful big, old, quiet house. Erika is super friendly and welcoming, overall a great host! If we come back to the florence area we will defenitly stay here again!

We arrived fairly late in the evening after a full day's travelling so we were fairly tired. Out host greeted us with friendliness and minimum fuss. The house itself is absolutely perfect. Everything you would expect from an authentic Tuscan B&B. Room and bathroom were of a decent size, clean and very traditional. Our hosts cooked for us on a couple of the evenings. Price was reasonable for the fantastic food we ate. I am still thinking about the traditional Tuscan Minestrone Soup and the homemade pasta. We met some new people and hopefully made some friends. Considering we were only there for the MotoGP all of this was an added bonus making for a weekend to remember.

Un merveilleux endroit pour se détendre tout en étant proche de Florence. Assunta et Stefano ont été très prévoyant et leurs conseils pour visiter Florence et leurs adresses pour se restaurer ont été très précieux. Nous y reviendront, et pas uniquement pour les merveilleux petit-déjeuner.

Assunta and Stefano are very nice and friendly hosts, the breakfast is unintalian-like great! The garden and the pool are very nice as well. It wil not have been my last stay there

Alles super, nette Leute, tolle Unterkunft, gerne wieder!

Giulia è stata disponibilissima, l'appartamento è molto spazioso e accogliente. Il terrazzo panoramico attrezzato di dondolo è stato un ottimo supporto per ristorare i nostri piedi devastati da 5 giorni di trekking lungo la via degli Dei. Pulizia da 10 e lode e attenzione ai dettagli (come la confettura fatta dalla mamma di Giulia che ci ha accolto sul tavolo, per la colazione del giorno successivo). L'appartamento si trova praticamente all'entrata del paese di Bivigliano, vicino alle piccole botteghe presenti in Paese, alla piazza e a un paio di ristoranti niente male.

Wir haben für zwei Nächte in Giulias wunderschöner, gemütlicher Wohnung übernachtet und wurden sehr freundlich von ihr empfangen. Da wir im Stau standen und erst nach Mitternacht ankamen, musste sie sogar noch länger als geplant auf uns warten. Trotz der späten Ankunft wurden wir sehr herzlich von ihr begrüßt und sie hat sich Zeit genommen, uns alles in Ruhe zu zeigen und zu erklären. Sie hatte sogar Kaffee und andere Kleinigkeiten bereit gestellt. Zudem lagen Informationen zu Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurants und Busverbindungen für Bivigliano und Umgebung sowie das nahe gelegene Florenz bereit. Auf ihre Empfehlung hin waren einen Abend im Chalet La Pineta essen, einem wunderschönen Restaurant, welches nur 15 Gehminuten von der Wohnung entfernt ist. Obwohl wir nur zwei Tage in Bivigliano waren, haben wir uns dank Guilia sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Giulia is was very helpful. We could write her all the time if there were any questions. The apartment was very clean and full equiped. Its located in the hills near florence. You need less then 30 minutes by car to get there.

Giulia was a lovely host who was very helpful and actively communicated. The apartment is very spacious with good living area space and facilities. It is located on the top floor with a nice view. We visited Florence, small surrounding towns and found it a pleasure to drive through the hills. Thank you for letting us stay, we had a wonderful time.

'We werden hartelijk ontvangen door Julia met een rondleiding door het huis. Waarbij ze meerdere malen vroeg of we nog iets nodig hadden. Verder was ze erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam met het geven van accommodatie advies. Het appartement is prima voor een paar nachten en heeft een heerlijk balkonnetje om op te ontbijten. Enige minpuntje was de douche die continu warm en dan weer koud werd. Verder prima verblijf. Bedankt Julia voor alles!' ________________________________________

it is really difficult to find the house at night because there is no light on the road in the deep forest. and the landlord guide me by phone. it takes me 2 hours to find it, when i finally arrived the house at midnight she cost me 30euro for waiting me and guide me. i don't think it is my reason to be late. we keep contact with phone but she can't help me find the way to her house.and the address on the airbnb is wrong the gps of (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map can't find it!

Buona accoglienza, posto molto bello e tranquillo, wi-fi inesistente, strada d' accesso pessima per moto sia in entrata che in uscita.

La casetta di Isabella si trova in mezzo alla natura in un posto stupendo e silenzioso. Siamo venuti per vedere il Moto GP e la casetta è molto vicino al circuito del Mugello e comodo da raggiungere! Ci siamo trovati molto bene in questa piccola casetta, dotata di tutto l'indispensabile. La proprietaria e la madre sono state molto gentili e disponibili! Unica cosa migliorabile è la pulizia del bagno, per il resto tutto perfetto! The house of Isabella is located in the middle of nature in a beautiful and peaceful place. We came to see the Moto GP and the cottage is very close to the Mugello circuit and easy to reach! We found ourselves very well in this little house, equipped with everything needed. The owner and his mother were very kind and helpful! Cleaning of the bathroom can be improved, all the rest was perfect!

We had the most amazing time staying in Polcanto. We didn't meet Isabella but Romanella (her Mum) was an lovely woman who made us feel at home. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a welcome message. We loved the country feel and the cottage was very quaint. Romanella recommended Sophie's pizza place and we ended up spending two nights there - the staff made us feel like family. Great food and atmosphere. We only stayed 2 nights to go to the Mugello MotoGP, so we want to go back and stay longer so we can explore more of the area. An absolutely amazing experience!

La cordialità è di casa da questi signori! La signora Romanella è stata a dir poco servizievole, accompagnandomi all'alloggio e mostrandomi ogni dettaglio ma anche ogni possibile opportunità nel circondario.

The place is ideal for those who want to enjoy privacy while keeping in touch with all marvels of Tuscany. The host, Romanella, is a charming lady who makes you feel welcome and helps to find your ways in Polcanto area. We hope to be able to repeat the experience in future.

Isabella and her mother welcomed us with a warm and flexible reception. The house, which is a typical local cottage, was equipped with everything necessary and little extras like coffee, sugar, wine bottle, not countable number of blankets, etc. Also they took their time to explain us the area, some recommendations, next supermarket, hidden pathes, etc. We have enjoyed a very nice long Easter weekend and will come back if we are in the Toscana again. This is the perfect place for couples if traveling by car. Without individuel transport options I would recommend to look for something closer. But its the charme of this country-side location.

Accoglienza perfetta, appartamento molto carino e spazioso, dotato di tutto il necessario. Il paese è molto carino e vicino alle principali attrazioni. Perfetto e consigliatissimo!!

Accoglienza ottima e grande disponibilità! Perfette le indicazioni per raggiungere l'abitazione. La casa è grande e accogliente, con una vista piacevole. Il posto è ottimo per rilassarsi. Tutto perfetto, consigliatissimo!!!

Accueil très chaleureux par les parents de Mario ! L'appartement est bien situé, a 15 minutes de Florence, au calme. Petit balcon et jardin très agréable. Appartement confortable, avec tout ce qu'il faut à disposition ! Nous y retournerons avec plaisir ;) Merci Mario !

Mario nous avait donné des explications très précises (avec plans et notes) de l'emplacement de son appartement, ainsi que de très bons conseils sur ce qu'il fallait visiter à Florence et dans les alentours. Les parents de Mario nous ont accueilli avec une gentillesse extraordinaire. Appartement au top, séjour au top, je recommande plus que vivement !!

Très belle maison toscane sur les hauteurs de Borgo san lorenzo. Nous avons profité de la grande tranquillité de l'espace extérieur (très bien entretenu), la vue est magnifique. Logement propre et récent. Hôtes accueillants et discrets qui occupent 1 autre partie de la maison. Petit bémol : Florence est à environ 35min. de route et c'est mieux d'avoir 1 véhicule tout terrain (routes en piteux état)

We had an excellent stay in a beautiful place with great host. The villa was very clean and had all our needs. The location was peaceful and also close to tourist sites. Thanks a lot to Bianchi family on a wonderful stay

Einfach genial. Sehr sauber und gepflegt ,wir haben uns gleich sehr wohl gefühlt. Cristina und Lucca sind sehr nette Gastgeber.

We have had such a lovely time in Cristina's and her husband house. Welcome was very warm and friendly. House is located on the hill with an astonishing countryside view and gorgeous garden. House very well equipped. Great and helpful communication with the host.

La casa era sporca e non vale sicuramente il prezzo pagato.

Thank you Piero!! Your place was just perfect :) It was bigger than we expected and we couldn't have been happier with you or your hospitality. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Piero and his very helpful friend. The place had so many extras which was so very helpful for travellers that can not carry much and the area with a supermarket down the road was exactly what we needed. The place had such a homely feel and we just loved staying here!! Unfortunately we were unable to book a longer stay as the place was already booked but we will definitely book again when we come back to Florence. Thank you Piero for your beautiful home and for everything else you helped us out with during our stay.

A charming & hospitable host. Our stay in this rustic villa in the beautiful Florentine hills was most enjoyable. Close for sightseeing; near to a Shopping Outlet centre; and we ate in two local restaurants where the food was superb. We recommend this accommodation.

Piero is really a nice host and told us everything about place and neighborhood. House and village are really nice. House was easy to find with GPS. Listing description is accurate, although heating was not working (it was very cold) and internet is something you cannot rely on (working periodically and with limited coverage). We were there for two nights on Mugello Moto GP weekend and it is really close to the circuit. I can recommend Piero and his place!!! :-)

Piero e' stato gentilissimo, disponibile e preciso. Casa grande, bella terrazza, servizi essenziali.

Piero è un host gentile e premuroso, casa sua è molto caratteristica in sintonia con il paesaggio, forse un po più di cura nell'arredamento la renderebbe perfetta.

Carlo is a very nice guy and the location is quite lovely. A little difficult to find, but quite nice. He even cooked for me the evening I arrived. Only his dog is a little bit annoying. And you probably have to go there by car because its in the middle of nowhere. But with very nice view therefore.

Dunja is very gracious and friendly, notwithstanding that we arrived very late. The place is spacious and very clean, uncluttered and comfortable. As others have observed, it is not easy to get to. If you have in mind to go to a place and stay, this is great. If you plan to come and go often, think twice.

La maison correspond parfaitement à nos attentes. Nous aimons le calme et la tranquillité et le site et la maison ont été à la hauteur de nos attentes. Soleil, calme,.... absolument parfait. Nos hôtes ont été disponibles et serviables. Nous les remercions chaleureusement

My family of 9 stayed at dunja's place for 3 nights. Communication was superb. Checking in and out process was a breeze. Dunja's place and facilities were very accommodating. A very remote and quite location. I'd recommend this place if u are into nature and peaceful vacation. Thanls for having us Dunja!

The 10 days of July at Dunja's house were very nice and peaceful. Though the house is only 35-40 minutes from the centre of Florence, it feels very much like in the middel of nowhere - in the positive sense - surrounded with hills, forests and a little stream babbling close by. Arriving there quite late the first night, the kilometer in the darkness on the tiny dirtroad, in not the best of conditions, was quite an experience. It is tough for the car, but in a few days one learnes to handle it. :-) Dunja and her husband Matteo, and of course their little son :-), were very friendly, generous and helpful. All together we very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Très bon accueil de la part de Debora et Mateo. Dunja n'était pas sur place mais a toujours été très disponible par messages. La maison est propre, spacieuse (nous étions 7 adultes et quatre enfants) et assez fraîche en été. La petite piscine et le ruisseau à proximité de la maison ont été appréciés des enfants. Comme indiqué dans l'annonce, le logement est parfait pour des amoureux du calme et de la nature.

Campaign a Toscana vicino Firenze was a good adventure for us. It is a nice spacious house in the country, so be prepared for some country road driving. Dunja was very helpful in meeting us in a near village the day of our arrival to get us to the house. She provided us with much information about grocery shopping, restaurants and touring information for Florence and Tuscany. WiFi internet is not unlimited, and cell phone coverage is not consistent or guaranteed, but you know that when you book. We appreciated the breakfast items left for us for our first morning. Dunja was a gracious host, responsive to any questions we had. We would recommend this Tuscany house to those visiting this beautiful area.

Abbiamo soggiornato una sola notte, ma abbiamo trovato il rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono. La location è molto carina, tipicamente campagnola. La strada per arrivarci è sterrata, ma nulla di impossibile. La abbiamo percorsa in tranquillità con due furgoni e un auto. Si apprezza il silenzio e la pace. Abbastanza comoda per chi come noi girava al Mugello, che si trova a circa 15minuti dalla location. Unica nota gli arredi un po' vechiotti, ma ripeto, visto il prezzo più che accettabili. La proprietaria, anche se non abbiamo avuto il piacere di incontrarla, molto gentile e cortese.

Dunja and her husband are relly nice: they helped us to arrive home meeting us in the nearest village and they provided us something to have dinner. The place is quite and calm and very recommendable.

Had an absolutely incredible time with Luciana and her family. The house is up in the hills about 20km from Florence. We enjoyed our time so much up there we didn't even have the desire to go into the city. The mountain air and peacefully environment should be more than enough reason to stay, but once you're there, the hospitality and friendliness of Luciana and her family will make you not want to leave. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour , la maison est remarquable . L endroit est merveilleux pour s' y reposer et Florence n' est qu' à 19 km . Luciana et son mari sont des personnes de grande qualité avec le cœur sur la main , j' ai beaucoup apprécié nos échanges , leur disponibilité et leur souhait de m' aider . J' aimerai retourner chez eux pour une prochaine visite .

Luciana e suo marito sono persone generose e gioviali. Ci hanno ricevuto con entusiasmo e calore pur arrivando assieme ai miei amici solo in tarda serata a causa di un imprevisto di viaggio. Si è occupata della nostra permanenza proponendoci ottimi ristoranti locali che hanno rispettato appieno le nostre richieste. La casa è situata in un giardino incantato, in mezzo ad un bosco. Sembra che il tempo si sia fermato. Se cercate pace e tranquillità questo è il posto giusto. E' dotata di un efficace riscaldamento ad aria e acqua calda a volontà, frigorifero, cucina completa con pentole e quant'altro. Il salotto è spazioso e non manca proprio nulla. I letti sono comodissimi, e i piumoni molto confortevoli. Non cambierei nulla del mio soggiorno, se non che vorrei essere ancora li. Grazie Luciana!

We loved the house, Luciana and Riccardo and the location. We had a great time and will definitely come back.

Bellissimo Mulino, unico nel suo genere e immerso nel verde. A due passi da Firenze e da borghi caratteristici da visitare, la casa è spaziosa, pulita e dotata di tutti i confort necessari. Ristrutturata di recente con stile, il patio all'esterno dotato di piscina e barbeque permette di passare delle ore in totale relax con la famiglia/amici circondati dalla natura. Consigliato per le famiglie e gruppi di amici, ma anche per weekend romantici. Beautiful Mill surrounded by the green, a unique place recently refurbished with style. Clean and tidy, a perfect place to relax with family or friends thanks to the courtyard provided with swimming pool and barbeque. The best starting point if you want to visit Florence or the typical villages in the neighborhood. Reccomended to families and group of friends, but also romantic weekends.

Superbe lieux pour les amoureux de la nature à proximité de Florence. Les photos et commentaires de Massiomiliano sont à la hauteur du charme de l'ancien moulin équipé de tout le confort moderne et d'un superbe extérieur.

Die Beschreibung war gut, Florenz ist 45 Minuten Fahrtzeit entfernt auf einer sehr kurvigen Strecke. Für Urlauber die einige Tage Florenz besuchen genau richtig um den Touristenmassen der Stadt zu entschwinden und die Stille der toskanischen Eichenwälder zu genießen. In der Villa war alles vorhanden was man braucht und ein kleines Problem mit der Wasserversorgung wurde umgehend gelöst. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen.

La descripción del anuncio era correcta pero ¡en realidad era mucho mejor!, es una casa preciosa, muy espaciosa, muy confortable y cómoda pero a la vez aristocrática y elegante. Los dormitorios muy espaciosos y bonitos, la cocina tenia de todo y muy cómoda de usar, los salones confortables y elegantes. El jardín impresionante, muy cuidado y rodeado de robles centenarios, con espacio suficiente para perderte, relajarte y con tumbonas comodísimas para la siesta y la lectura, una barbacoa estupenda que utilizamos en numerosas ocasiones y una mesa de ping pong donde jugamos todos. Reina un silencio profundo en los alrededores y se duerme increíblemente bien. Angelica D'Auvare es una anfitriona perfecta que, sabiendo que somos familia numerosa, nos facilitó una wi-fi portátil para que los adolescentes siguieran conectados con sus amigos en España, ¡todo un éxito!. Además, todas las indicaciones que la anfitriona nos dejo escritas en casa fueron de gran utilidad, ¡incluidos los restaurantes!. La zona era preciosa, rodeada de montañas, y el pueblo de Bivigliano muy bonito y con gente muy amable y acogedora. La casa está cerca de todas las ciudades más interesantes de la Toscana, visitamos Florencia (a 30 minutos) en varias ocasiones, Siena, Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano, Monterrigioni, hicimos la ruta del Chianti visitando Greve in Chianti y Castellina in Chianti, compramos vinos y disfrutamos de un paisaje inolvidable. Hicimos varias excusiones caminando a los sitios indicados por la anfitriona, como el Monasterio de Monte Senario donde compramos su famoso y delicioso licor de abeto. Nos bañamos en el Lago de Bilancino e hicimos shopping en el outlet de Barberino, ambos muy cerca de la casa y muy interesantes, lo pasamos genial. Podemos decir que han sido una de las mejores vacaciones de nuestras vidas, no hemos tenido ni un momento de aburrimiento y, a la vez, nos hemos relajado totalmente. En definitiva, totalmente recomendable y para repetir.

Would like to thank Angelica and her beatiful house for amazing rest. House itself is much more beatiful and kindly in real live than it seems on pictures. It combines warm "family's nest" energy with old architecture and a lot of ancient artefacts. I would recommend visitors to keep 1 full day just to have some relax in garden near the villa and to walk around rooms to feel this old spirit. House is well equipped and furnished. There are a lot of activities in nature around like hiking, agrotourism. It's very convenient to reach Firenze. 7 minutes by car + 20 minutes by train and you're already in the heart of this beatiful city. It's easy to contact Angelica when needed. Thank you for beautiful days!

I cannot recommend this place enough: it is heaven. The villa is huge & beautifully furnished with antiques & artworks belonging to the family. The owner, Angelica, is charming. The extensive gardens, complete with a carp pond, orchard & many lovely old trees, are a joy to explore. The large eat-in kitchen is very well appointed. The bedrooms have beautiful views of the mountains. Bivigliano is a cute village & pleasant walk up the hill, & the nearby towns (Barberino, Scarperia) are also well worth a visit. An easy drive to Florence & also well located for day trips to Bologna, Sienna & other towns. Perfect for a quiet holiday in this lovely part of Italy!

I spent a few days with my family in this amazing villa and would definitely recommend it. Everything about it it's just perfect and I wish we spent there longer to fully enjoy it. It's a genuinely enchanting house, where the old is perfectly preserved and the new is never out of tune. Every corner has something interesting to see. We enjoyed the pool as well as the beautiful garden too. We had some issues with the wifi and could not get it to work, although Angelica promptly helped sending someone to have a look at it.

Maison inoubliable avec une piscine fantastique. Cadre idyllique

Came to Tuscany with two families total 8 persons. We had high expectations to the house and all things it has to offer and to keep it short we left with all our expectations fulfilled plus some extras. The house is just amazing. It is bigger than we thought and everything in perfect condition. The pool is just great to cool down when it's warm and the garden is big and there are also toys to keep children busy. All communication with the Angelica was very good and she responds quickly and is very helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for peace and quiet in an old and relaxing environment. We would love to come back someday.

The reservation was canceled 71 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

It was advertised as suitable for 5 people, but there is only seating for three in the living room, and four at the dining table. Makes for an awkward evening. There were lots of mismatched plates and bowls, but only enough silverware for 5. There were no sharp knives, and the selection of cooking implements were very limited. There was a set of 4 matching glasses but only one beer glass and one wine glass. Other comments on the kitchen: stove is ancient and beat-up looking (though it worked). no microwave. new refrigerator, but not turned on when we arrived, so it took a while to cool. The interiors of the wooden furniture in the living room reeked of mildew. We didn't use them because of the smell. The cupboards in the bedrooms were okay, however the large wardrobes in the bedroom also smelled mildewed. It would have been nice to know that if you are arriving on Sunday everything is closes early. We arrived in the afternoon and it was too late to shop for food and supplies. There were no paper towels in the house, only one trash bag and only 2 rolls of toilet paper, so we needed to go shopping first thing the next day. The Internet access was abysmal. The connection dropped frequently, and even when it was available was exceedingly slow. There is no view from the apartment in which we stayed (ground floor.) The TV was tiny and there were no instructions for cable or channel guide so we never bothered to use it. There were no maps, guidebooks, local magazines with attractions, etc. While by no means required, this is so common in AirBNB homes it was surprising not to find any. There were no instructions for the appliances, explanations of how trash and recycling are sorted in this locality, etc. Positive notes: There is access to a common swimming pool, and a barbecue grill that renters may use. From the pool area, the view of the sunset over the farm fields in the hilly terrain is quite lovely. It is convenient to Florence. We had a car, but if you don't there is a bus stop just down the street. The washing machine worked fine, and there was a clothes drying rack (but no clothespins). We did not meet or hear from Guido during our stay except when we had trouble making contact with his assistant (Alwin) upon our initial arrival. For full disclosure – we did not try to contact either Guido or Alwin about these issues. We had brought a sharp knife with us and just made due with everything else. We are frequent AirBNB customers and have stayed in properties in many countries. So far, most of the experiences have been great. But this place is not a home, it is a rental business, and was just not what we expected. We enjoyed Florence and Pisa and the rest of Tuscany, but I would not stay here again.
