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.

Anna and Julian who are the owner of the house and ground are very friendly and always helpful.The refurbished flat is located in a hamlet builded in the thirteenth century. The terracce is small and cosy. Sleeping room is big. - Kitchen-living room the biggest. They have really good organic olive oil and honey you should taste it.

Fantastic view!

Owners are on site and responded quickly to any questions and needs. Comfortable place to stay between outings around the area. The balcony is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the view. Understand that this is a really old house and you won't be disappointed.

Un appartement de rêve à seulement 12 km de Florence

Au bout d'une longue allée d'oliviers bio, entre les vignes et les champs d'oliviers, un très agréable appartement dans une partie d'une ancienne ferme florentine. Nous avons apprécié le calme, le paysage, l'extrême gentillesse des propriétaires et leurs conseils pour les visites. Tout pour passer d'excellentes vacances.

Un séjour très agréable

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable.,La villa est dans un endroit très calme et apaisant. Florence est très proche (20min) grâce au tramway situé a quelques minutes de la villa.Cela évite de prendre la voiture. Bref une adresse a recommander ....on reviendra!!

Une beauté au cœur de la campagne toscane

Quel cadre remarquable et apaisant, dans une carte postale. Beaucoup de gentillesse de la part des propriétaires. Dommage: un peu difficile à trouver, quelques indications par message ou sur le chemin seraient appréciées… Merci nous avons beaucoup apprécié !!!

Très bon séjour.

Très sympathique accueil d'Anna et super conseils de Jullian. L'appartement est très agréable et fonctionnel. Seul inconvénient : les moustiques. Mais malgré eux, nous garderons un très bon souvenir de ce séjour.

Objekt für einen ruhigen Urlaub, trotzdem Stadtnähe zu Florenz

Sehr nette Vermieter. Das Haus ist schwierig zu finden, trotz Navi. Vielleicht könnte es besser ausgeschildert werden. Wünschenswert wären bequemere Sitzmöbel für den Balkon, um die wunderbare Aussicht noch besser genießen zu können.
