Lovely Tuscan Home
We had a nice stay at this charming Tuscan home. We wanted to stay in an older farm house which comes with pros (location, views, pool) and cons (small bathrooms, a/c in bedrooms only). We easily took trams into Florence explored nearby towns/cities as well. Car rental is a must! The host, Diana, was lovely and wanted to make sure her guests had an enjoyable experience.

Spacious for families
Spacious house with air conditioning in the bedrooms. Everything we needed was available to us. There is a big book that the owner has put together that was very useful for restaurant recommendations. Bring bug spray as the mosquitos loved us. Overall great stay!

Lovely Place to explore Florence and Tuscany
Very well equipped and clean old farm house with lovely furniture. Diana was most helpful with everything and answered all our many questions with patience :-) we also loved the many cats and dogs living in the neighborhood. For reaching Florence, there is even a bus going to Scandicci from where you easily take the tram to Florence. Most convenient if you prefer to go without car. Supermarkets are reachable by car only, but in about 20 min distance. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Quaint cottage in amazing location in the Tuscan hills!
Diana is a wonderful host. She tended to all our needs and inquiries promptly. Beyond the information book that she put together for her guests she gave recommendations for restaurants and local information. Diana opened the pool for us and we were able to enjoy all the sunny days at the gorgeous pool area overlooking the Tuscan and hills and olive groves. The house is quaint and Rustic with a fabulous large fireplace in the living..we made a fire every night..Wonderful! We cooked lovely meals and had our breakfast coffee in the small patio..which leads down to the groves and giant aloe bushes. Just be aware that downstairs ensuiite bed/bathroom is small. The house is charming and a bit small and be aware (for older folks) that the 2 other bedrooms require Going up a flight of stairs. One upstairs bedroom is ensuiit. The location is Outstanding! Tucked in the Tuscan hillsides with b

About the host

Hosted by Diana Ghezzi

Host profile image
I am 65 years old and of half Swedish and half English birth. Now happily married to an Italian and we have two grown-up sons, Nicolo and Guido. My husband and I live in the main villa on a wine and olive oil estate which has belonged to my husband's family for over 400 years, and the villa we offer to you is one of the original farm houses on this estate. We are very much "hands on" and try to give guests the maximum help and comfort possible. The area is beautiful, and private, and yet within a few minutes of main routes to a large number of wonderful cities in Tuscany, principally of course Florence.

Why they chose this property

This property is part of a wine and olive oil growing estate near to Florence in Tuscany. The estate has belonged to the same family since Renaissance times and this farmhouse was originally a farm workers cottage - now restored to provide a cosy and comfortable holiday home without losing its original character and charm. Pisa airport is 45 mins by car, Florence airport 30 mins by car and Florence centre is easily accessible for day trips by tramway from nearby Scandicci.

What makes this property unique

The farmhouse is 15 kms from Florence and the nearest tram stop is 10 mins away by car. The surrounding countryside is totally unspoilt, peaceful and beautiful, and yet there is easy access to all main autostrada routes.
