About this villa rental
Ancient country house (originally built in the XIII century), recently restored with respect of its historical characteristics, located in the village of Fornello, on the beautiful hills between Florence and Mugello.
It’s only 18 km far from Florence and at few minutes car from Fiesole, Borgo San Lorenzo, Pontassieve. Located at 400 m AMSL and surrounded by unforgettable landscape of vineyards, olive groves, cypress, chestnut, pine and oak trees, it' s a very good starting point to visit the whole Tuscany.
The house is disposed on two floors and consists of four bedrooms, two large living rooms with sofa beds and a very large eat-in kitchen with a typical fireplace perfectly working. Furniture are traditional but all modern comforts are available.
The house is enclosed in a 1500 sqm wide green park, with trees and flowered plants. It’s perfect for outdoor dining as well as for resting or reading under a pine tree, but you can also practice many different activities in the neighborhood.
Ping-pong table available in the garden.

What a great property. Not a single bad view from any window or point in the yard. It's quiet and tranquil with everything needed. Host was very responsive accommodating.

This was our favorite place that we stay while in Italy. It had an old world charm and all the details were lovely. We had a chance to use the massive fireplace and it kept the place very cozy. You can't beat the views! Pure eye candy from morning till night! Our host, Marco and Maria, went out of there way to make us comfortable, and their communication was outstanding. I hope to stay here again someday.

My purpose for renting the Villa was to have an experience unique to my usual travel experience which is renting in a city center. We rented the Villa for about a month. The Villa was everything we hoped it would be. How incredible is it to live in a 1000 year old property with all the right accoutrements that transported you back a 1000 years. A huge fireplace, spacious rooms, beautiful grounds and extraordinary views.Access to Florence was very convenient as trains ran regularly from the neighboring town (Sieci) and only took 15 to 20 minutes. Parking in Florence is not easy. Unfamiliar with driving in the Italian Country side, I was challenged by the narrow roads at first but after a few days I was comfortable. Think smaller when renting a car. Two things to remember when renting this property is that there is a charge for using gas for heating the Villa (but not for cooking) and the need for a final checkout with Marco/Maria. Our travel plans required us to leave a day early before we learned about a checkout requirement. We were comfortable with Marco/Maria to make an inspection without us present.After reading a couple of reviews, we noted that some groups developed a personal relationship with Marco/Maria. We took the opposite but probably wrong path to bother them as little as possible. I think we would have immensely enjoyed getting to know them better. Maybe next time.A property you will never forget!
