The pictures in the listing don't really do justice to how beautiful this home and the surrounding countryside truly are. The owners were very responsive and helpful with everything from settling in, to information about the nearby town of Grassina, to educating us on the public transit available.

LOVED the property and surrounding area (even the windy 1 lane road up!) Get snqcks and food beforehand if you dont have a car! Its hard to get a taxi and is really not walker friendly (narrow, curvy road up/downhill) BUT, the quiet. The scenery. The songbirds. TOTALLY set the scene for 1st bisit to Italy! Would definitely stay again!

A Beautiful Stay
Tranquil, picturesque, spacious and homey. A true Tuscan experience….from the drive to the views to the serenity. Had everything we needed and the owners were only a call, text or email away. A real gem. Very close proximity to Florence. Easy day trip to Pisa. Coop Fi for groceries was decently close to stock up for a few days. We would recommend this clean, well appointed and comfortable villa to anyone visiting the region, without a doubt.

Best VRBO stay in Europe ever
Staying at this property in the hills outside Florence was an absolute delight. It was perfect in all respects. Spacious home with plenty of space and privacy for our 2 older couples. Beautifully landscaped and backyard patio and rolling hills and fields in distance. While owner livers away, his sister is next door. David (owner) sent has multiple clear video's of how to use various appliances and gave us precise directions on how to reach property well in advance. Property is basically a spacious and modern 3 br 2 bath home in the rolling hills outside Florence. HIs sister Delphina was a godsend and lives next door. She helped us with everything and was always available for tips and directions., She took the time to send us detailed maps and instructions and was always available via text or phone. Like having your daughter living next door!. Perfect location for a base to visit the countryside, city, and all of Tuscany. We wished we could have stayed for more but the property was booked after us. We will most definitely be back and give this property our full and complete endorsement. Thank you David and Dephina for a most pleasant and stress free vacation.

Beautiful Cottage
We truly enjoyed our vacation in this quient, beautiful Cottage in the hills. The grounds and view from the terrace was remarkable! The house was clean, modern and decorated lovely. The beds were comfortable and there's lots of room to spread out in the alcove and living areas. This kitchen was spacious and well equipped/stocked. We also loved being only 20 minutes outside the City in this private and quiet neighborhood. David, Elias and especially Delfina were wonderful accommodating hosts. We are so grateful for the constant communication, referrals to sites and restaurants, assistance with the house and directions. We highly recommend this gorgeous home and look forward to coming back next time we are in Florence.

Beautiful Tuscany Home
Delfina met us upon checkin and was warm and lovely! She answered all of our questions and was available always for anything we needed, including forgetting the key to get back in! The home was beautiful and is set on a working olive farm. The views are amazing and made us feel like we were living the Tuscan way. The home was just as depicted in the pictures and was very comfortable for 4 adults and 2 teens. All of the amenities were available that were needed, including a washing machine which we used mid-journey!! We would definitely stay in this home again if we ever return to the area!!!

The Ultimate Tuscan Experience
This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location. If you truly want to live the Tuscan experience, I highly recommend this place. The hosts are wonderful and always available to help. The house and yard are amazing. The location will give you a true feeling of what it is like to live in Tuscany, which was a major goal of our trip. Perfect for a family (ample rooms and places to sleep). While I greatly enjoyed this place with my family, in retrospect, I found myself wishing it were just my wife and I as it's a magical place for a romantic getaway!

Wonderful Villa just outside the hustle and bustle of Florence
My friends and I had such a wonderful experience at this lovely villa. David and Delfina are wonderful hosts. Delfina sent us pin locations of a grocery store to stop at on our way from the airport, as well as restaurant recommendations for night one. Once we arrived, Delfina greeted us and let us into the house and went so far as to order delivery for us to the house since we were too tired to go back out. Delfina later booked a private truffle hunting and wine tasting tour for us at a small organic farm which was an amazing experience. I cannot say enough about how helpful and wonderful working with David and Delfina was and how much it added to our experience. The house itself is adorable. We had a group of 7 and it was a bit tight but we had zero issues and truly enjoyed our time together. The house we impeccably clean, the rooms well appointed. The bathrooms stocked with plenty of towels and even laundry detergent and a washer. Did I mention the heated floors and towel warmer? The backyard was a comfortably retreat to sip coffee in the morning or wine in the evening. Ultimately we throughly enjoyed our visit and would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone looking to spend time outside the city and enjoy the gorgeous Tuscan countryside.

Brilliant stay
This property was very comfortable and roomy enough for the 3 couples that stayed there. As we all like to cook, it was great to have such a well-equipped kitchen. The backyard was great and the views were awesome. The weather did not cooperate so we could not take full advantage of the yard. The location was fantastic, close to grocery stores and restaurants and only minutes from central Firenze and all that it had to offer, yet far enough to enjoy the quiet of the country setting. The property manager was on site and extremely helpful on a couple of occasions in providing helpful information. We would certainly recommend this property.

Hidden Gem Under the Tuscan Sun
An unbelievable trip to Florence. This property is so close to the heart of city center, but tucked away to enjoy the serenity of the Italian countryside and the gateway to Chianti. Very easy to navigate roads from the airport throughout the countryside. This was our first visit to Italy and we were beyond impressed with this villa. The owners are amazing. Our flight was delayed and we arrived later than we thought and they made sure we had dinner. They ordered us pizza and had it delivered to the house. Delphina was happy to assist with any of our special requests or recommendations. The gardens out back our spectacular. The villas is clean, spacious, modernized and perfectly located. We wouldn't hesitate to rebook.
