Beautiful, elegant property and rooms. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff.

Great place to relax and unwind as a couple, great swimming pool and nothing too much trouble for the lovely staff also nice relaxing breakfast. Centre of Florence not too far if you have transport. I will definitely stay again when next visiting Florence.

Fantastic small villa. Very friendly hosts. Stayed as vase to visit cinque terre

Fantastic property in a great location with wonderful staff especially Emiliano and Francesca ( who also bakes delightful cakes ).

Only problem was that the carpet did not give the feeling of cleanliness. (dark stains)

3 night stay whilst vsiting Florence and the area around. The owner was really helpful booking restaurants and suggesting parking and places to visit.

Getting to the hotel is an adventure in itself! It is located in a rural area and approached via small back roads and then up a steep bank which leads to the hotel gates. The hotel still retains the look and feel of a country hunting lodge as, although it has been extensively modernised, it retains the charm of its historical roots. The hotel does have an outside swimming pool, but it is not heated, and unfortunately the area does seem to be the haunt of mosquitoes, although the rooms are well protected by screens over the windows. There is no lunch or dinner provided but breakfast is adequate. The hotel also provide advice about winery tours, and we visited the Ruffino Winery, which is very enjoyable and offer a discount for guests from the il Sasso hotel. One word of warning if you do not have your own vehicle, and that is that taxi fares are extortionate especially if the driver does not know where the hotel is located (it apparently only costs E80 to fly from Naples to Cardiff but we spent more than that getting to the winery and then into Florence).

Located just 20 minutes from downtown Florence, beautiful setting. Emiliano and his staff go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a pleasurable one. Suggested a private cooking class by a renowned chef high in the Florence hills that was nothing short of spectacular.

Great stay at Villa il Sasso. Lovely setting and attentive staff. Nothing too much trouble.

Had a lovely four days here. We were attending a wedding nearby so just used the hotel as a base. Breakfast was lovely and we enjoyed our coffees sat outside. we had standard rooms which were clean and comfortable.

WE STAYED FIVE NIGHTS AND WENT INTO FLORENCE THREE TIMES. THE OTHER DAYS WE SPEND HALF OUR TIME IN THE COUNTRYSIDE EXPLORING SMALL TOWNS RECOMMENDED BY EMILIANO AND HALF DAYS AT THE VILLA.

Beautiful villa with equally beautiful service. Located in the hills with a view, but still able to walk to town. Would return and recommend this villa.

The hotel was beautiful, in a great location for those who to stay out of the hassle and bustle of the city. The staff were friendly and helpful and made our honeymoon an amazing experience. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a 5* service in a great location. Was on only was only a 30-45 bus ride from the city center and about a 20 min cab ride

Villa il Sasso is the place you would love to stay near Firenze. 20 minutes from Firenze center, the villa offers a quiet, high class, elegant and pleasant place. We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff who did whatever they could (and much more) to make our stay comfortable. We will definitely be back.
