The house is in a wonderful rural location outside Florence. Maria and her husband were very welcoming and went to great lengths to assist us in every way possible. Breakfasts were very enjoyable.

Peaceful and beautiful typical Tuscan house surrounded by nature but just 30 minutes away from the center of Florence. The house can accommodate up to 10 people in it's 5 bedrooms, all of which have a private bathroom. We serve a hearty breakfast in our common area where you can also relax, have a cup of coffee or a nice glass of wine. The house has a swimming pool and a very big garden, with an area to play football. The summer nights are particularly exquisite in the gallery and in winter you can relax next to the stove.
Hello, I am Maria and I will be happy to host you in our marvellous piece of Heaven. I'll gladly share with you my favourite places, tips and experiences so as to make the most out of your stay. My family and I fell in love with this place some years ago, so much that we decided to make it ours. We have worked hard to improve it and now it's our pleasure to share it with you.
The house is located 30 min away from the city center of Florence. We are surrounded by nature so you'll need a car (or a bike) to get around. There are some really nice restaurants in the area, famous for their typical Tuscan cuisine and wine. There's also a bus stop 50 mts away from the house that brings you directly to the city center. Nearby you can also find other attractions like the Barberino Outlet (30 min away) or the Convento di Monte Senario (10 min away). The city of Fiesole with its beautiful Roman theatre is only 15 minutes away and the Parco Mediceo di Pratolino (where you can enjoy beautiful sights and make long walks) is 10 minutes away.
