If you’re thinking of booking a villa in the hills of Florence, look no further! Perfect for large groups! We had our wedding nearby and stayed here. It was amazing. The views! The setting! Wow! I want to go back!!
A car is recommended, and you can park it right in front of the house on a gravel lot. We had two 8-seater vans (that barely fit through the gate by an inch) but was worth it for day trips.
AC in all rooms (it didn’t work at first and we were hot for the first 2 nights, but then asked and it was turned on).
Rooms were clean, kind of on the small side, most with an en-suite updated bathroom.
We couldn’t get the upstairs clothes dryer to dry well, but there was one downstairs that was fine.
We used Emilia, the lovely chef/host for breakfast every day. It was great! And worth the 200+ Euros a day for our group of 20.
Note that you’ll have to pay for electricity/energy. I wish this was added to price of the rental upfront, as we had very little money left upon leaving. It was a few hundred euros, and that’s with very little AC use for 5 days. We also had to pay a few hundred Euros to have the jacuzzi and pool operating while we were there. So keep that in mind- might just be in the off season, but it was still 80s by day. The pool was very cold, but the jacuzzi was nice.
There’s a great restaurant, Omero, just a few doors down. Highly recommend it; there is no grocery store nearby that you can walk to.
Guidetta was the kindest host and we could message her about anything and she would respond fast. She lives on the property - in an attached apartment to the villa.
Overall, this is a dream property. One I most certainly would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing family stay very close to Florence!
