Tuvimos la fantástica experiencia de alojarnos en las hermosas colinas florentinas donde se ubica este Hospedaje, lugar que además de ser un acogedor y tranquilo refugio; goza de todas las comodidades para descansar por varios días descubriendo la gran vegetación existente a su alrededor, así como conocer los pueblos con encanto que componen la maravillosa "Toscana", lo recomendamos absolutamente y esperamos volver en un futuro no muy lejano. Gracias por todas tus atenciones mi querida Violetta, saludos desde Chile.

Der Eindruck den andere Gäste bereits per Online-Bewertung geschildert haben hat sich voll bestätigt. Die sehr nette Vermieterin hat es bei der Ankunft mit einem toskanischen Kuchen überrascht und war stets besorgt um das Wohl ihrer Gäste. Das Anwesen liegt außerhalb einer kleinen Siedlung in den Bergen oberhalb von Florenz. Die Anfahrt über eine schmale Teerstraße ist gelegentlich abeneuerlich (wenn zB. mal ein Müllauto oder der Schulbus entgegenkommt :-)), aber landschaftlich reizvoll. Das Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt. In der Küche ist alles drin was man für einen entspannten Urlaub benötigt. Die Ferienwohnung ist für 4 Personen vollkommen ausreichend. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.

Herrlich gelegene Ferienwohnung mit traumhaftem Blick auf Florenz und die Berge, Ein ruhiger Ort, um den Tag, mit dieser Aussicht, zu beginnen oder mit einem Glas Wein enden zulassen. Es gab herzliche und auch informative Begegnungen mit der Hausherrin. Wir haben uns dort sehr,sehr wohl gefühlt.

Violetta’s home was just what we wanted. Quiet, beautiful, tranquil countryside. A short drive from Florence if you are visiting there, but lovely area in the Tuscan hillside to relax. The home was charming and comfortable. Violetta was a great host, she was a pleasure to spend time with and she was helpful with anything required. We would recommend this location to everyone.

Loved the villa and Violetta! Spent our 40th anniversary here along with our daughter and son-in-law. Such a special hostess who graciously shared her villa and time with us. We could not have asked for a more perfect place.

Violetta’s place was absolutely amazing. The views from the house were spectacular, straight out of a movie! The place itself was beautiful, well stocked with all of the essentials and more. It was very quiet and peaceful and the center of the city was only a 15-20 minute drive. She was super helpful, friendly, and kind. We totally recommend her place. There was no hiccup anywhere, everything was as smooth as can be. Thank you, Violetta!

Eine traumhafte Woche. Sehr ruhig und gemütlich. Grandioser Blick auf Florenz mit der Domkuppel. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Entdeckungsfahrten in die Toskana und nach Florenz. Die Gartenanlage und Terrasse in mitten der Hügel und Olivenbäumen laden zum verweilen ein. Schönes Appartement, es ist alles vorhanden sogar die Verpflegung für das Frühstück am nächsten Morgen (selbstgemachte Marmelade). Sehr persönlicher Empfang und Betreuung, wundervolle Tipps für Unternehmungen. Violetta ist eine ganz tolle Gastgeberin. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können diesen wunderbaren Ort gerne weiterempfehlen.
