Acomodação muito confortável, quarto espaçoso e um banheiro privado muito bom. A casa é linda e receptiva assim como o Sandro e a Ludovica!! Tem duas cachorrinhas que são super amáveis e adoram um colo e um carinho rsrs. A casa eh do lado do rio Arno o que acrescenta um charme a mais. Dali há a estação de trem próxima, o que facilita a ida à Firenze. Na frente da casa possui uma quadra que, para os esportistas, pode ser uma opção de atividade física (leve sua bola, rs). Nas imediações da casa há um pequeno mercado (Coop) que ajuda também no dia-a-dia e próximo ao mercado uma padaria assim como um ponto de ônibus caso queira fazer um caminho diferente admirando a paisagem!! É claro junto a TUDO isso vale ressaltar o casal SIMPATICÍSSIMO que é o Sandro e a Ludovica!!! Você vai amar eles!! Recomendadíssimos!!!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Sandro's place. The house is very cozy with temporary interior designs. The hosts are nice and hospital people. It is a rural area nearly Florence. Train ride to the downtown is very quck and easy though. Costs 2,60 each way.

I could not have asked for a better end to my holiday. Not only was my room like a 5 star luxury hotel room, I was also made to feel like I was part of the family. Sandro & Ludovica ensured that every part of my trip was as easy as possible. I was sent up to date train schedule & helpful tips before my arrival. Chatting to them over a cup of tea or coffee was the perfect way to end my days in Florence. They were both interesting to talk to & also eager to learn about my life. I was terribly sad that my time with them had come to an end but I do hope to see them again one day.

Molta accoglienza... anche dal cagnolino! Soggiorno piacevole, camera deliziosa, grazie!

Une jolie chambre parfaitement équipée et d'une propreté impeccable. Ludovica et Sandro sont très accueillants et d'une grande gentillesse. Ils sont très prévenants pour mettre à l'aise leurs hôtes. Cela a été un vrai plaisir de partager un moment avec eux. Un séjour court mais agréable. Je recommande et n'hésiterai pas à revenir si je suis amené à être dans la région. Merci encore pour ces moments d'échanges !

A nice clean and cosy room with a stylish bathroom. Shira, the dog of the house is absolutely cute

Sandro and Ludovica's place was the perfect stopover for us on our way through Tuscanny. Located in a charming village on the outskirts of Florence, it offered us the quietness of a village setting whilst still being only a few minutes drive to the centre of the city. The room was beautifully furnished, very clean and warm, and the bed was really comfortable. We couldn't have expected more for such a reasonable price. Best of all was the company of our hosts - they were so friendly, helpful and easy & interesting to talk with. We would certainly love to make their acquaintance again on future trips to this area. We have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation very highly to other travellers.

Muy buen alojamiento y muy buenos anfitriones, todo perfecto.

We had a very nice stay at Valentinas place! The house is not modern but it is beautiful und very comfortable. We felt very welcome by Valentina and her house mates. They helped us with informations and answers all of our questions. We would love to pass again!

Nice place for younger travelers, with a bit "hippy" touch

It was such a great pleasure to stay at Valentina's place. The location of the mini-castle gives you the opportunity to experience the artistic city-life of Florence along with the scenic nature of Tuscany. Valentina and her friends were great hosts, and they were very helpful and full of knowledge about the area. It was an amazing experience to pass the time with them at evenings, and early mornings. When I come back to Italy, there is no doubt I'm going back there again :)

Valentina's house is a charming place to get to know Firenze on the one hand and the italian lifestyle on the other hand. The beauty of a 13th century building, the really nice view and the extraordinary experience to see a wild living chicken behaving like a cat (among many real cats), the incredibly good price and especially all the conversations with Valentina and her house mates - all in all it was pure perfection!

La casa de Valentina ha sido una de las mejores que hemos experimentado. El sitio es unico, escondido en lo alto de las montañas y a la vez muy cerca de Florencia. La casa es muy acogedora y la paz que sientes es enorme, se respira un karma muy positivo y a la vez cercano. Si quieres pasar unos días en Florencia, es ideal. Si simplemente quieres disfrutar de la naturaleza, tambien. We recommend to anyone this peaceful place and the company and warness of sweet Valentina and her people!

The house was very comfortable, cozy, spacious and all utilities were almost duly covered. The house it is placed on a very favoured spot, because it has the typical Tuscan peace and landscape, but it is just 15 minute drive to center of Florence. We can't wait to return, I would definitely recommend it!!

Four friends and I had a wonderful stay at this Castle airbnb! Truly beautiful views and outstanding hospitality from the hosts, Stephania and her family. It is very remote from Florence and you would need to rent a car to get there. The roads are also very narrow for a two car road so you would need to be cautious. Stephania was a great host and went out of her way to make is feel comfortable in her home. I highly recommend this airbnb, it was one of the best stays I have had with at an airbnb.

Florence est une ville géniale. Nous avons eu des journées bien chargées et retrouverun peu de calme le soir, c'était tout simplement le bonheur. On recommande!

Katja und giancarlo waren zwei großartige Hosts! Die Unterkunft war ein absoluter Traum! Es war noch schöner als ich von den Bildern her erwartet hatte! Das Häuschen ist sehr süß und wurde von giancarlo selbst mit viel liebe zum Detail restauriert. Der Garten ist ein Paradies! 'An sitzt in mitten eines Olivenhains auf dem auch Olivenöl produziert wird! Wir haben auch 3 Flaschen davon gekauft, ich bin gespannt wie die schmecken Fest steht, werden sicher wiederkommen! Es war wirklich einmalig!

Total schönes Anwesen, tolle Terasse und volle Ausstattung! Sehr schön wer die Ruhe liebt und/oder was mit einem Baby sucht :-) sehr Gerne wieder

Incredible place in the hills surrounding Florence. Katja was very kind and helpful, provided great instructions for visiting the city and how to get around.

La maison est charmante, typique et paisible (superbe vue sur la campagne toscane) à proximité de Compiobbi, bourgade agréable et pourvue d tout le nécessaire (supermarché, boulangerie...). Accès facile à Florence (en voiture - 20 mn).

Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Eugenio et Claudia! Le logement correspond aux photos, les pièces sont grandes et disposent de beaucoup de rangements. Tous les produits de base sont fournis ( serviettes de toilette, huile, café,...) et le logement est intégralement equipé (micro-ondes, four, lave-vaisselle, machine à laver,...). Le jardin est très agréable et le logement est situé dans un cadre naturel ressourçant à seulement une quinzaine de minutes de Florence. Eugénio et Claudia ont été accueillants, disponibles et d'excellents conseils durant ce séjour! Ils nous ont accueillis chez eux, un soir, le temps d'un verre et, le jour de notre départ, d'un café. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour chez Eugenio et nous y retournerons !

Eugenio & Claudia were fantastic hosts, made sure our stay was everything we wanted and they even took the time to show us around the neighbourhood. The house was spacious and rustic. I highly recommend this place as a good base to see Tuscany & Florence. Country living but close to the city. Thanks Eugenio & Claudia.

Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour à Compiobbi, petit village très mignon situé à quelques minutes seulement de Florence. Très pratique pour visiter cette superbe ville. La propriété d'Eugenio est particulièrement agréable au cœur des vignes et nous avons adoré nos siestes au bord de la piscine, bercés par le chant des cigales. Le logement est très spacieux, idéal avec des enfants. Eugenio est un hôte attentionné et intéressant, il a eu la gentillesse de nous emmener faire un tour dans le village dont il connait très bien l'histoire.

Bon séjour hôte sympa et qui parle bien le français La maison est charmante et placé dans un cadre agréable

We stayed at Eugenio's place for a week. The stay was everything we hoped for and more! The description was accurate. Communication was excellent. Location was perfect. The property was so relaxing and quiet yet so close to Florence. Eugenio was away so we didn't get to meet but Alessandra was so helpful and generous with her time. Thank you and we will be back!!

The host canceled this reservation 84 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Best accommodation possible. Eugenio and Claudia are the greatest hoster's you can imagine, lots of historic information, amazing location inside a beautiful and really kids/pets safe place to relax and enjoy your short or why not a long stay like we did. Place is absolutely lovely and surrounded for the very truly toscana flavor. Super close to train station, local market, tobacco shop and the best pastry shop in town. 110% recommended for a very fair rate.

Appartement bien situé à côté de Florence : facilement accessible en voiture et possibilité de se garer , train direct 15 minutes vers la gare du centre historique. Fonctionnel et pratique, pour faire ses courses dans les commerces à côté, le plus est la climatisation très appréciable en été, et la terrasse sur l Arno; la rue est passante mais pas gênant pour dormir et visiter Florence.

Le quartier est bruyant mais très pratique pour accéder au centre de Florence par le train .Notre hôte nous avait laissé des boissons et les lampes allumées pour notre arrivée

We have never been at such a wonderful location. It's exactly as shown in the description. Even the couch is very comfortable to sleep. We had breakfast in the morning sun on the balcony. The kitchen was well equipped and even had a pizza oven. The apartment is located within walking distance from the station, from where you can easily reach Florence (15min). A little supermarket is also next to the apartment. The only drawback is the noisy traffic right in front of the building, which is especially bothering during the night. But it was okay for us and we loved the apartment a lot. Roberto is very kind, he waited for us at the apartment, because we were late. He also helped us with every question we had via SMS very fast. Thank you Roberto we are sure we will come back.

Great place to stay if you want to stay near Florence. Only 2 stations away from Venice and the train station is 5 minutes walk. Supermarket is also 5 minutes away. There was a lot of road noise but the view across the river on the other side of the house was fabulous. Narrow street for parking but there was free parking across the road a bit. Roberto answered txts very quickly. Very narrow pedestrian access. Wifi was good.

Roberto è stato disponibile anche alle mie richieste fuori orario. La casa era pulita ed accogliente con una vista spettacolare. Spero di ritornarci.

The area was not what we expected, on a very busy street.

La casa está al lado del río en una zona tranquila cerquita de Florencia y muy bien comunicada porque la autovía esta muy cerca. La casa es muy bonita y tiene unas increíbles vistas.

The House is really nice, there are 3 rooms. One room is on the road side and pretty noisy, the others are direction the river and just very nice.

Casa meravigliosa, da fiaba, situata a due passi da Firenze ma immersa nel verde! L'alloggio è bellissimo, pulitissimo e dotato di ogni confort per chi viaggia con bambini. Il giardino è incantevole ed è pure provvisto di alcuni giochi per bambini! La vista su Firenze è imperdibile! Emiliano è gentilissimo, molto disponibile e flessibile! È stata un'esperienza da sogno e non vedo l'ora di poterla ripetere!

Claudio was a wonderful and caring host. He was willing to meet us at the bus station in Fiesole when we arrived late, he provided a marvelous breakfast each morning, and went the extra step to direct us on day trips in the area. Clean rooms, a home atmosphere, and loving pets made the experience perfect for my wife and I on our 20th wedding anniversary trip. Bravissimo!

Claudio's B&B was lovely! Unfortunately it rained all weekend, so we didn't get to utilize the villa's many outdoor facilities, but we still had a lovely stay. He also has two adorable cats and two dogs, so it's a great weekend away for animal lovers! Would highly recommend to anyone!

We loved being in a little village away from Florence . The room was great, loved the history & the beautiful rustic house. Being on the river & sharing Claudius house & animals was great. Fantastic breakfasts & easy bus ride into Florence. Would highly recommend.

Our expectations for our stay at La Martellina were high to start with. Our experience surpassed our expectations. Lucky Claudio, to live in such a beautiful, peaceful setting, which is also convenient to the cultural attractions of the city by a nearby bus. Lucky us to enjoy his warm cheerful personality, his helpfulness, and his skills as a breakfast chef. We were so happy both with the place and with our host, and sincerely hope to be able to return someday. This review would not be complete without saying that Claudio also has the greatest dog ever, Emilio! Peggy and Mary, Boston, U.S.A.

La Martellina is just charming! We had such a lovely stay. Claudio was so accommodating, and sweet. The atmosphere is even more enchanting and peaceful than the pictures show. The bed was quite comfortable, and the breakfast was yummy. The dog and two cats are totally adorable, and helped us to not miss our animals so much while so far away from home. We will absolutely stay here again.

Lovely house, with a soul: Claudio! Incredible 5 stars breakfast, a trip every motning trough italian food. Close to the river, with gentle animals. A place where you want to stay. Thank you Claudio.

Claudio is a very nice and friendly host and the stay was a pleasure. All the good points you can read on the references are absolutely true - including the awesome breakfast and the welcoming atmosphere. The only small contra was the shower pressure in the shared bathroom, which was in the morning rather low, so showering took quite a while. All together it was a wonderful stay, though. Thank you for hosting us, Claudio! :)

We had a wonderful time at La Martinella. Claudio was very buce and helpful with us. We extremely recomend staying at this B&b!! The place had an amazing view!!!

Ho soggiornato presso la Finestra sugli ulivi con la mia famiglia. il monolocale molto curato e pulito rispecchia esattamente la descrizione. la posizione strategica rispetto a Firenze.

Una gran opción para alojarse en un entorno único, al lado de Florencia! Daniela es encantadora y te puede dar todas las recomendaciones y ayuda necesaria con cualquier cosa, tanto en tu estancia como antes de llegar. La casa está muy bien, con todo lo necesario y muy nueva, en la planta baja de su vivienda. Cuenta además con una pequeña zona en el jardín para desayunar entre los árboles. En mi opinión es la elección perfecta para viajar a Florencia con coche, pues es fácil llegar e incluye parking en la casa, y se puede aprovechar para visitar los pueblos de alrededor. Sin duda repetiría!!

Daniela ed Eugenio sono stati gentili e ospitali. Posto spendendo a pochi chilometri da Firenze.

Très bel endroit calme et reposant

We enjoyed our stay at Daniela and her family's beautiful place on the hills close to Florence! When we couldn't find it in the dark her husband picked us up and led us all the way to their home. We had a pleasant breakfast in the gazebo with their home-grown cherries. Now that we know how to find it we'd definitely stay again! :)

Un bel appartamento in posto stupendo a due passi da Firenze. L'Host è stata gentilissima e accogliente. L'annuncio rispecchia perfettamente la realtà. Consigliatissimo !

Daniela's place was very nice. It is tricky to find if you don't have navigation or a car (we had both - and it wasn't quite intuitive). Id advise to align on a time before hand for check in - she wasn't available until 7pm on the day of our arrival so we had to show up twice. Other than that, easy enough place to use when visiting Florence and nearby small towns in Tuscany.

A beautiful place to stay and explore Firenze! Daniela and her husband were very friendly and helpful hosts. They even came for us to escort us to their house when we got lost (despite Daniela's perfect directions - shame on the co-pilot ;-)...). The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Their garden is just beautiful and there is a wonderful gazebo to sit and relax over a cup of tea or a glass of wine. But the best thing is that it takes only 10-15 minutes and you are in the centre of one of the most interesting cities in Italy!

这是一个充满魅力的住处,可以俯瞰到远处佛罗伦萨的景色,同时又拥有田园的宁静。房子充满魅力,具有浓郁的意大利风情,散发出些许怀旧且艺术的气息。房东女士人好极了,英语特别棒,交流起来很方便,她住底层,把整套的房子收拾干净温馨给客人。她的儿子人也很好,热情好客,仔细周到。住在这,真是永远难忘的美好记忆!

Estuvimos dos noches en la casa de Isabella, la casa esta muy bien, es amplia y tal como se ve en las imágenes. Las vistas de Florencia son espectaculares, es una delicia poder ver el Duomo desde la cama. La terraza es grande y perfecta para desayunar en verano. Está en una localización muy tranquila, en medio del campo en una de las colinas sobre Florencia, pero se llega en 10 minutos en coche al centro. Isabella y su hijo Marco fueron muy amables y nos atendieron perfectamente en todo momento. Estaban esperando a nuestra llegada para guiarnos hasta la casa, y nos dieron mapas e información de la ciudad y restaurantes. Aconsejo este alojamiento totalmente para quien quiera visitar Florencia pero poder dormir y levantarse en un ambiente totalmente tranquilo y relajado. Muchas gracias por todo Isabella y Marco!

It is great honor to introduce Isabella and Marco cozy &lovely house to all of you. We had a incredibly beautiful time in Florence with the Host. We had been talked about our culture and life. It is an understanding each other countries and a connection to our heart. Isabella's attitude to Life, Culture, Art was so fanscinating and we learned alot from Isabella. We had a trip in florence just 4 days. But my wife and I swear that was a our the happiest time in our life. Being a guest with Isabella must be very very very comfortable and unforgettable memory not our honeymoon but your daily trip. Thank you. Isabella. We miss you so so so much.!

An extremely charming location with a very friendly host - we adored it.

'Florence with a view' is the perfect place to relax after spending busy days in and around Florence. Florence was amazing and the only thing more amazing was Isabella. She was the best host - very welcoming and very generous. Thank you Isabella for making our stay in Florence so memorable.

"Florence With A View" was better than expected... Isabella is not only a charming hostess but a wealth of information about the area. She consistently went out of her way to make my family feel welcomed. The farmhouse is quietly tucked away in the Tuscan hills where the beautiful sunset can be seen over the Duomo each night. We would highly recommend staying with Isabella especially if traveling with small children since there is a large garden for the kids to play in while the parents unwind from a long day in Florence.

We stayed here for two nights, just me and my grandmother. We had a great time and I highly recommend it! The view was to die for. It is a short drive outside of the city, maybe 15 minutes. The drive itself was fun. If we hadn't stayed at this B&B, we wouldn't have ventured into the countryside at all. That would be a tragedy! The house is old, which is reflected accurately in the photos. If you are very picky and only stay at four and five star hotels, maybe this is not the place for you. We were not misled and for the price it was an excellent value. She did tell us that they have a lot of renovations planned in the coming months. The terrace was an amazing place to sit and watch the sunset. You can see all of Florence. While we were sitting out there, she brought us a tray of crackers with olives and capers that she had picked herself from the garden. We enjoyed sitting and chatting with her. On our final day, we were tired and didn't even want to go spend time in town before our train ride to Rome, so we just enjoyed our time at the house and took in the beautiful scenery. Isabella took us on a short walk to that beautiful bridge in the photos. It was very cool, and a lot of history! We did not have a car, but I would recommend getting one for your stay here. It wouldn't have been an issue but there was a taxi strike during our stay! Luckily, Isabella had time to give us a ride to town two mornings in exchange for some gas money. If I hadn't been traveling with my grandmother, who has a bad knee, I would've been willing to take the bus. She said the stop is a short walk from the house and that other guests had successfully navigated the bus system. Make sure to look at the map she posted, as the taxi's GPS initially took him the wrong way. I'd recommend this place to anyone, but as a side note I feel it would be suitable for a family. There is plenty of space and it is very safe for children to run around outside and explore. There are two large bedrooms and two full size bathrooms. There was also the attic room, which we did not go up to see. We only stayed two nights, and I hope life grants me the opportunity to come stay for a week! Isabella is a warm hearted, wonderful person. :)

Lovely house in the hills overlooking Florence. Isabella was a great host and really looked after us. Definitely recommend.

Scilla was a lovely host and did all she could to make us welcome and gave many suggestions for activities and dining. The home was clean, comfortable and private and although only 15 minutes drive to the the heart of Florence it had a lovely country feel. The pool is incredible. Her beautiful dog, Diana was a highlight!

Calme et isolée entre les oliviers, la maison est idéale pour les couples ou bien avec un petit enfant. 15 minutes à Florance, la situation de la maison est assez satisfaisante. On a passé de bonnes vacances chez Scilla, elle est gentille est accueillante. Elle ne vous dérange pas si vous n’avez pas besoin d’elle. Je vous conseille cette maison mais il y a de choses à améliorer. D’abord, il n’y a pas de lave-linge ; en été avec un petit enfant c’est un peu gênant de laver les vêtements tous les jours. Puis, il n’y a pas d’internet non plus. Ensuite, il faudrait mettre des nouveaux ustensiles dans la cuisine et moderniser la maison un peu. Enfin, bien qu’il soit écrit dans la description comme lave-linge et internet, faire check out à 9h00, c’est vraiment tôt. A part ça, je pourrais dire que le rapport qualité/prix est plutôt bon.

Violetta was amazing! She provided us with great instructions and different options from arriving from Florence as we had spent some time in the city. Allowed us to check in early so we didn't have to lug our bags around Florence killing time. Even having some items for breakfast waiting our arrival! Note that if you are not going in and out of Florence its a good idea to bring groceries before you come if you are without a car. The kitchen is great - all you need to cook and very updated. As the little shop/cafe in Villamagna doesn't have many things to choose from - there is a restaurant that is open in the evenings and on Saturday/Sunday an amazing pizza place that is a must go to! However, this is the perfect place to get out of the city enjoy beautiful Tuscany sunsets every evening after a day touring the city. While eating some of the fresh vegetables in Violetta's garden or her home made olive oil which was outstanding! She went above and beyond by arranging a very early morning pickup when we departed! Bathroom and shower are also like new - hot water and better than any where else we stayed in Florence. The internet was perfect for catching up on some work! If you like the city and the outdoors this is the perfect place to stay if you have transport in as its only 20 - 25 mins and the bus stops right in front of the house with a slightly longer commute!

Violetta hat uns herzlich willkommen geheissen inkl. selbstgemachter Marmalade und Olivenöl aus dem Olivenhain direkt am Haus. Das Haus selbst liegt wunderschön über Florenz mit einem Hammer ausblick. Das Haus ist gemütlich und für 4 Personen vollkommen ausreichend und typisch italienisch ( wie man es sich halt vorstellt ) Für uns war es das perfekte Unterkunft. Auch in den Hügeln laufen zugehen ist ein muss. Violetta ist freundlich, herzlich und hat sich rührend um uns gekümmert. Perfetto :)

As soon as we arrived at Violetta's place, we wished we had found it sooner. It's an incredible apartment, with an incredible view (Tuscan hills and vineyards and you can see Florence as well!) and Violetta was so welcoming and friendly. Everything feels new, the kitchen is incredibly well equipped, the bed is comfortable. There were a few mosquitos but as Violetta had a net for the bed that she helped us put up the second night. It is a very quiet spot, about 40 mins from Florence, and the road getting there is not for the weak (windy, narrow), but if you're like us and like your quiet and want some beautiful Tuscan scenery to gaze at while you listen to the cicadas, come here. Would be perfect for a family, as the second bedroom has two twin beds. this is an incredible deal for what she's charging. We were her first guests and I have no doubt she will be booked solid very soon.

Wow. This is truly an exceptional property - located a short-drive from Florence but feeling a million miles away. The views are as described. You can see the Duomo of Florence and the surrounding hills from the property. We were fortunate to have had exceptional weather as well. The sunset over Florence was stunning. Violetta is warm and kind and fun. We asked her to join us for dinner one evening and we had a splendid meal outdoors watching the sunset. Violetta is happy to engage or to leave you at a distance. She has so much information to share and I would encourage you to ask her anything about the area. She is an expert tour guide and knows the area well. The house was large and comfortable - rustic enough but not overly so. It was clean and Violetta provided staples to get you started. We shopped for groceries at the Coop just on the fringes of Florence (only a 20 minute drive away). The Coop is huge and has everything you need. The property is conveniently located for trips to Tuscan destinations such as Montalcino and Montepulciano. We chose to spend time in Greve instead which was a pleasant and short drive. Don't shop in Greve - they gouge you! A bottle of Sassicaia 2013 was 185 Euros. I could buy it locally in Toronto for $215 Canadian. No bargain there. As for Florence, well Violetta can tell you how best to spend your time including theatre as she is an avid theatre-goer. All in all, if you have Florence in mind, stay with Violetta. You will not regret it!! Thank you Violetta for making our stay so incredible.

Violetta hat uns herzlich empfangen und uns gleich die hübsche Wohnung gezeigt. Es beinhaltet alles was es braucht. Es hat von der Küche aus einen direkten Zugang zum Garten mit einem atemberaubenden Ausblick in die Natur und auf Florenz. Da der Ort etwas höher liegt, ist ein Auto von Vorteil. Es lohnt sich, den Weg auf sich zu nehmen. Es ist schön und ruhig....und trotzdem nicht weit von der Stadt!

This is a beautiful country property away from the hustle of Florence, but convenient for day trips. The view from the patio is spectacular! Violetta was a kind and considerate host, and we would highly recommend her lovely home.

If you're looking for a Tuscany stay like in the movies then this is the best address. Violetta was a fantastic host and she provided us with great tips. I would come back to this place in a heart beat. Don't miss this gem!!

A truly authentic experience!! Violetta's home is beautiful and the location stunning. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city this is the place to be. The views are postcard perfect, rolling Tuscan hills filled with olive groves with sights of Florence in the distance. The backyard is the ideal place to take in the beauty of Tuscany. We arrived by public transport which, with Violetta's instructions was easy. We found the bus runs on time however the times are a bit limited (last bus back to the villa is at 630pm) so if you want more freedom I would advise hiring a vehicle. This is what we did and it was very easy and you can see much more. All the facilities at the villa are modern, function, and are easy to use. Arrive with groceries as per Violetta's recommendation. There is an great pizzeria in nearby Villamagna (walkable). It is only open on Saturday and Sunday night after 730pm but is by far the best pizza we had during our Italian stay. We would definitely stay with Violetta again.

Appartement très agréable . Je le recommande vivement pour un séjour à Florence même si il se situe en dehors de la ville. Il y a un bus qui va direct à la piazza San Marco , ensuite on peut tout faire à pied.

Danielle (Stefanos wife) was very charming & polite at arrival. She made us feel welcome & was very gracious. Although, we didn't meet Stefano in person, he was extremely helpful in providing accurate details prior to our trip. The bakery close to the studio was great & the attendant spoke Spanish, which we loved. The studio was very relaxing at the end of the day from all the walking in Florence. It was the best place in Florence & well equipped. We enjoyed our stay.

Appartement EXCEPTIONNEL ! Nous avons été très bien accueillit par Stefano, qui est très sympathique et qui met tout de suite à l'aise, à l'italienne ! Le cadre est juste parfait, dans un commune tout prêt de Florence, c'est un petit village dans la ville. L'arrêt de bus est très bien desservi, Settignano est une commune vraiment superbe où on peut même aller se promener pour visiter, on y trouve une magnifique vue sur tout Florence. Je recommande fortement !!

Het is een heel chique mooie schone centrale woning.

Stefano's apartment is very comfortable and well equipped with everything that you need for your vacation. Everything is like it's described in the site. It's located in very beautiful and quiet neighborhood, just 20 minutes from the center of Florence. It's the perfect place to relax and to feel the real charm of Italy. We spent amazing 5 days in lovely Florence!!! Stefano is a very friendly and good host and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed very much our stay there and will strongly recommend to all our friends.

Stephano is a great host, he answered all of our questions before our arrival with a lot of pleasure. He is very thoughfull and even let us cold water, ice cub and mosquito repellant just in case. Settignano is a very cute city, and it's very easy to go to the center (15 minutes from piazza san marco) and even to Fiesole (10 minutes by car for another great view on Firenze). We enjoyed our stay a lot ! Thanks again Stephano :)

Everything was great! Photos look exactly what the place looks like, no surprises, everything is clean and tidy, bed comfy, aircon added bonus, everything was there that you needed and it was so great to not be in central Florence, it was peaceful and great places to eat near by, Bus stop is so close and easy to understand ! Loved our stay there

Great host! Great apartment! Definitely recommend staying here! The pictures do not do justice! This is truly a rare find! Thank you Stefano!

Our stay with Alessandro was wonderful! He is such a gracious, lovely host. Although he didn't speak much English, he tried his very best and we made it work no problem. He even drove us to the train station after we checked out. The apartment was beautiful, with an incredible view of Florence countryside from the terrace. The bed was comfy, the wifi worked great and the kitchen was fun to cook in. You won't regret staying here!

Alessandro is by far the best host and offers the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. The location is perfect, especially for families with kids studying abroad in Settignano or Florence. Settignano is very peaceful and Florence is easily accessible. I would recommend Alessandros apartment to anyone and I will definitely be back!!

I'm so happy that I've chosen to stay in Alessandro's apartment, it was such a wonderful place with a wonderful view over the hills surrounding Firenze. The apartment was beautyfully designed and very clean. The bus stop in to Florence is just outside the door and Alessandro gave me all the information I could need. The only thing I regret is that I didn't have more time to get to know Alessandro and his wife better, hopefully I will get the chance to return and stay in their lovely place once again some time in the near future.

Мы в восторге! Дом Алессандро и Николетты расположен в самом центре старинного Городка в Тоскане - Сеттиньяно. Прекрасные двухуровневые апартаменты, современный дизайн, все удобства. Все продумано до мелочей, чистота и комфорт! С террасы открывается чудеснейший вид на Флоренцию. Рядом множество кафе и баров, в которых вам предложат выпить чашечку ароматного кофе со свежим круассаном. До центра города всего 20 минут на автобусе, что позволяет уехать из шумного и наполненного туристами центра и вдохнуть чистейший воздух под пение птиц! Есть возможность совершить пешие прогулки по местам, в которые были влюблены Леонардо да Винчи, Микеланджело и русский поэт Блок. Алессандро и Николетта очень приветливы, внимательны и гостеприимны! Встретили нас очень тепло и помогли нам сориентироваться и выстроить маршруты) нам очень понравилось! Рекомендуем обязательно для проживания!

Alessandro's apartment was located in a beautiful small village away from the bustling city centre. Its located up a hill that overlooks the city with excellent mountain views through the windows (it's the first thing you see when you wake up). The house is newly done up with beautiful exposed timber roof with a small yet cozy kitchen/dinning area that has all the utensils that we needed for a quick meal. There's also a little sofa there to take a break after a long day being out exploring. The toilet was spacious and clean and had all the items anyone could need with a hair dryer as well as heated towel stands. The floor was really clean and the shower area had good doors that didn't flood the rest of the toilet. As a host, Alessandro tried his best to communicate with us. However, our Italian and his English proved to be a challenge for us. Though it did not stop us from having wonderful morning coffee sessions with him along with the (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Translate. Thanks Alessandro for the wonderful coffee! We really had a wonderful stay at his apartment and would strongly recommend anyone who is looking for a place to stay outside of the City. However, note that the busses end relatively early at 10pm (we almost missed our bus because of a prolonged dinner). There are however an excellent restaurant just slightly down the road.

Alessandro è una persona squisita come sua moglie del resto !!! Ti fa sentire a casa , ti coccola , ma non è mai invadente !! L' alloggio è veramente bello !! Tutto giusto , !! Grazie

Le logement est situé dans les hauteurs de Florence. Très propre et cosy, il offre une vue de carte postale. Cet appartement est très bien équipé et idéal pour un séjour en amoureux. Il permet de se détendre au calme après une journée en pleine ville. L appartement est situé sur la place centrale de Settignano à 1 minute à pieds du bus menant à Florence. L accueil est chaleureux, prévenant, et généreux. Les hôtes vous enchanteront par leurs sourires. Je recommande vivement ce petit cocon.

Alessandro è un Host eccellente, vi accoglierà nel suo appartmento nuovissimo di ottime finiture, con calore e disponibilità. Comunicazione ed accoglienza eccellente. Vi consiglio proprio questo piccolo gioiello

Bellissima accoglienza e massima disponibilità da parte del signor Tosini e signora. La camera era ottima per tre persona, buonissima la colazione a sacco. Posizione eccellente per raggiungere Firenze con i mezzi e strategica in occasione del Gp del Mugello a soli 30 min.

Sono stato molto accolto e contento nn c'è nnt da togliere, persone gentili e disponibili... Che dire la stanza molto comoda Come materasso e km ambiente, riservata e anche spaziosa.... da uno a 10 scrivo 10....

We stayed at this place for 3 nights. It was perfect. Nice, clean and comfortable space, super amazing host and good location. Also, the price is well worth it as what you have is basically an apartment. We enjoyed our stay and loved our mornings with the host, who is a truly beautiful person who can make you feel like you at home more than in someone else's place.

I have nothing but glowing praise for Michele and Sandra. You'd be hard-pressed to find two kinder, more hospitable people. They feel like family to me now. And the room is almost like having your own apartment, and it's so dark and quiet, you sleep like a dream. I never wanted to leave! It's the perfect place from which to explore all of Tuscany, as well - super accessible by train and bus, and so close to Florence but still far enough away to be quiet and very authentic in its small village feel.

The house is conveniently located in a quiet area in Compiobbi, a town about 15 min bus ride from Firenze center. Ticket costs were 1,20€ one way in June 2016. I stayed for one week. The accommodation is like a little apartment inside the main apartment. A separate area with 2 floors, including a toilet and sink. It's clean, beautiful decorated, very private and if you need something, you just open a door and speak with the host. To shower you need to use the common bathroom inside the host's part of the flat. During my stay Michele was out on a job and his wife Sandra was hosting me. She speaks perfect English and is extremely kind. She picked me up from the train station when I arrived. And she always made sure I was well and had everything I needed. In the morning there was a breakfast with bread, jam, Nutella, cookies and very good coffee. To be fair, I have to mention that Sandra is a smoker. You don't smell anything inside the guest area. You do however, when you enter the host area. For me it was absolutely ok this way. All in all I recommend staying at Michele's and Sandra's place very much. It's a great way to enjoy Florence with the advantage of having a quiet Oasis to recover from busy city life.

After a very long road to go home, we finally arrived. What a good « Séjour » we spend at The Villa il Bosco. Beautiful country, charming people, great food, very good wines… We are under the charme. Thank a lot.

Sabrina and her husband met us at their place and they were delightful! Their villa is a perfect place for 4 or 5 people and the views are absolutely wonderful. It was very relaxing and the villa was exactly what we were looking for in the heart of Tuscany! We would love to come back sometime in the future and spend more time at Sabrina's villa! Loved this place, we'll be back! There is a fantastic restaurant about 400 - 500 yards (meters) from the villa that is tucked back into the hill and the food there is wonderful!
