A fabulous traditional Tuscan stone house with a distinct style. It's located right outside Florence but it feels as if you're on the countryside. It has an interesting layout, high ceilings in the living room and large windows that open to a nice little terrace, two very comfortable bedrooms upstairs (where the main entrance is also located). The bathrooms are quite nice too, the main one upstairs features a great shower cabin with hydromassage. Splendid views over the hills. The house is on a large secluded private property where a few more houses are located, one of which is where Michela and her family lives.

We felt very much at home there, plenty of space inside and around the house, a fantastic place to relax and a good base to explore Florence and the Chianti region. We travelled with small kids and they also loved the place.

If you're visiting during the hot summer months, you might want to invest in a good mosquito repellent as there are plenty of them in the area.
