10/10A True Tuscan Experience with Amazing Sunsets If you’re looking for an authentic Tuscan vacation, this is it. The home offered many amenities all while keeping with traditional Tuscan architecture and was decorated all throughout with attractive artwork. Our family of 5 had more than enough room to spread out. Patrizia was a gracious and accommodating host! She made our dinner reservations, recommended things to do and was always available to answer questions. Grazie mille!

Great location for Florence and Tuscany travel

What a great vacation! The property is an authentic villa. Patricia can help you with any local needs you may have--from how to get into Florence with a vehicle, where to park in Florence and avoid the ZTL, to local grocery options, to great recommendations on local and authentic Tuscan restaurants. The property is an easy location to travel the regional hilltop villages

Relaxing in Tuscany

The villa was beautiful, and a great starting point to explore Florence, Chianti Road, Siena and Pisa. Patrizia welcomed us to the property with some fruit, cookies and wine, made dinner reservations for us, and was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing options! We stayed 5 nights, definitely wish we could have stayed longer!

Spectacular setting offering peaceful tranquility!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous, peaceful, and spacious property. Patrizia is a gracious hostess who went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. She even made reservations for us at two amazing local restaurants. Her guidance on nearby wineries, shopping and touring were also incredibly helpful. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Dream vacation in Tuscany with dear friends!

We just loved the location of this lovely VRBO, just south of Florence 35 minutes. We were up on a ridge with vineyards surrounding us and from our patio we were able to view spectacular sunsets! Our host Patricia was wonderful and was able to obtain dinner reservations at delicious and authentic Tuscan restaurants every evening of our stay! It was one of the highlightsof our trip and discerning tastebuds!

Beautiful farmhouse just outside Florence

Staying in Patrizia’s guest house was a true pleasure. She is the sweetest host and helped us so much with making reservations and answering any questions we had about the region and getting around. If you want to experience small town and country Tuscan life - this is the place for you! The apartment is very comfortable with three nice bedrooms. Our whole family loved it. Thank you Patrizia!

Right in the heart of Chianti region

Had a great stay. The property is lovely and great to relax, rejuvenate, we went for a nice walk through the countryside road and the views are fantastic. Patrizia is easy to get a hold of and very friendly. Always asked if we needed help with reservations, directions or anything. Lots of restaurants close by, our only issue was the language barrier with ordering but that was us and nothing to do with the locals. Place was very spacious for the 2 of us and easily had space for 4 others if families are looking for somewhere.

This property was amazing. A beautiful, charming, and quaint farmhouse overlooking the surrounding hills in Tuscany. Patrizia went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. She even offered to get some groceries in advance for us since we were arriving on a national holiday which we took her up on. A fantastic host in all respects. Thank you Patrizia!

Wonderful experience

Lovely property only topped by the graciousness of our host, Patrizia. She gave advice, made reservations, made suggestions. She also shopped for breakfast items to stock before we got there…and also shopped for a couple things while there. And one day we came back to a large bowl of delicious hand-picked grapes. House is old but has everything we needed. Slept the five of us Nebraska ladies very comfortably. Kitchen is tiny but we just do breakfast, snack and warm up leftovers. We really enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful and peaceful

My husband, 10 year old daughter and I spent 4 wonderful nights at Patrizia’s apartment. It was beautiful! The gardens, outdoor dining area location and view were perfection. The inside was clean, and cozy with a spacious upstairs. The views from the bedroom windows were amazing. Patrizia is the sweetest, kindest host. She helped us many times with reservations and recommendations for dinner. Our favourite dinner of our trip was at the restaurant Patrizia recommended. Thank you so much! Hopefully we can come back again one day. If you’re considering staying here, do it!!

She filled our fridge before we arrived, offered suggestions for driving and booked reservations when needed. She was always kind and prompt.

Tuscan Charm

What an amazing stay we had. Upon arriving we where welcomed by Patrizia, a lovely warm fire, wine & fruit. We can’t say enough about this lovely villa. Charming, homey and rooms with views of the rolling hills of Tuscany. The grounds are lovely and lush even in late November which was a great surprise. Our trips to Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena where all memorable. Patrizia takes note of everything which made our stay perfect, ask her for any assistance and it’s done. I now have a new skill... building a fire thanks to the lesson graciously provided by our host, thank you.👍😀 Patrizia’s charm and friendliness made our stay complete.

Perfect location and wonderful host!

Absolutely perfect home in a great location. Only 30 min to Florence and TONS of wineries in the Tuscany area! All the amenities you could ever ask for and the home itself is nothing short of spectacular! Just like in the movies...the views are AMAZING! An absolutely perfect place to unplug from the hustle and bustle, but be just a short drive to all of the attractions in the area. Could not have asked for a better place. Patrizia, the host, makes the stay complete! She will help you with ANYTHING you need, but is not intrusive. She has wonderful recommendations and is happy to have what you need in the house upon your arrival. Thank you for a wonderful three days, Patrizia! I wish we could have stayed longer, but we WILL be back soon!

Great Host… Great Property!

I’m sure anyone who’s booked with VRBO (or any other online rental property company) has had some trepidation about what they saw online will align with what they actually see and experience. I’ve seen both sides of this myself. Well , I can assure you that Patrizia’s property is actually better in person! She is a friendly, accommodating and fantastic host and her property in Scandicci is wonderful. My family and I had a great time there and Patrizia was there to great us and make sure we were comfortable from the get-go. She let us know about the area and things to do and see. Just an amazing host and person. I can not recommend it enough!!!
