About this property

Hilltop paradise cottage, a stone's throw from Florence..!

  • The "La Vista" ( apartment is part of a 13th century farmhouse (with another two apartments for rental purposes: "L'Acetaia" code HAUK 8043566 (60sqmts sleeps 4) and "La Stalla" code HAUK 8584399 (40 sqmts, sleeps 2)
    It is located on the 1st floor. The entrance to the apt is directly into a large livingroom/kitchen/dining-room. There are two single sofabeds in the room. There is access to a roof-terrace with beautiful views of the valley. To the left a window which gives onto the courtyard of what used to be the main building, a typical 13th centuryTuscan Villa plus a well of the same period.
    At the entrance of the flat to the right there is a small corridor which leads, to a bathroom (with: basin,shower, bidet, wc) and double bedroom with a breathtaking view of the valley, forest and olive groves.
    The property is set on a private hill, half a mile from the main road. It's only 8 miles from Florence, but because of it's quiet and secluded feeling, it is as though it were totally immersed in its surrounding wild nature and very far from the madding crowds..!
    IT IS ESSENTIAL TO COME HERE WITH INDEPENDENT MEANS OF TRANSPORT..!
    There is a private parking. A very cheap and efficient tramway is awaiting at the bottom of the hill ! The car can be parked , free of charge ("Villa Costanza" terminal), it reaches the other terminal (Stazione di S.Maria Novella) in about 20 mins). So you don't need to worry about paying expensive parking charges !
    There is a very practical "EUROSPIN" supermarket only 30 yards from the Power Station on the main road (Via Pisana) from Via delle Fonti direction > Lastra a Signa on your left (4,5km / 5 prop.)
    The location is close to all the important double carriageways leading up to all the main towns and places of interest in Tuscany (10 mins). These however, can not be seen or heard from the property.

    N.B.: our dirt track road is only in part a private road of ours, so, at times, not always in a perfect state of upkeep, we therefore advise that it is not suitable for low slung sports cars..!


    We remind our guests that a tourist tax of €2.50 per person per night is charged, for a maximum of 10 nights.
