About this house rental

Welcome to your Tuscan oasis among olive trees, art, and relaxation!

Imagine waking up, opening the windows, and hearing the birds sing, surrounded by a garden with olive trees from which you can see the valley and the Tuscan hills. Your vacation home is a separate section of a charming farmhouse, located just a 15-minute drive from the outskirts of Florence, from where a convenient tram will take you to the heart of the city in less than 30 minutes.

On the first floor, two cozy bedrooms await you for peaceful nights, connected by an intimate sitting area with an extra bed and a sleeper chair—ideal for families or groups of friends. The modern and functional bathroom features a convenient walk-in shower.

Down on the first floor, you’ll find a spacious, bright living room that opens onto a fully equipped kitchen—perfect for preparing Italian dishes with local ingredients or, for those who love Tuscan wine, enjoying a glass in peace.

Outside, your own little corner of paradise: a large garden with a table, chairs, lounge chairs, and the shade of trees—perfect for al fresco breakfasts, dinners under the stars, or relaxing afternoons. There’s also a small grill for outdoor barbecues!

The location is strategic: just a few minutes’ drive will take you to the main highways (the Florence-Pisa-Livorno and Florence-Siena highways), allowing you to comfortably explore the wonders of Tuscany: Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa, and Lucca are all within easy reach.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a cultural adventure among medieval villages and Renaissance masterpieces, here you’ll find the perfect balance between rural tranquility and accessibility.

Distant views of olive groves and vineyards. Misty cool mornings, listening to church bells and birdsong. THIS was our home base in Tuscany that we were lucky enough to have discovered. All of the photos and descriptions do not do justice to this beautiful villa 30 minutes outside of Florence! Close to the tram, which brought us into Florence 4 times during our incredible 2 week stay we also took advantage of our rented car to drive the beautiful scenic roads to nearby medieval villages and spectacular Cinque Terre on the Mediterranean. Our hosts, Antonio and Silvia, who live next door, were welcoming and friendly without being obtrusive, in any way. We asked them about local festivals, hot spring spas, wineries, etc and they directed us to the most un-touristy fabulous spots! The house and property has everything you would need, including comfortable beds and a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the huge two French arched, doors, leading out to the garden and the Tuscan views! We enjoyed bread and cheese and wine at our private home base most evenings before going out to local amazing restaurants for dinner. (Don’t forget to check out the spectacular sunsets at the front of the property on your way out to dinner!) Thank you Antonio and Silvia for our magical stay at your beautiful Tuscan property!

This place was amazing! The beautiful view out the windows and the old world style home made this a comfy slow paced alternative to our Rome and Naples trip. Antonio the owner was extremely helpful and gave us great suggestions on where to eat and things to do. The full kitchen allowed us to make some spectacular food with the beautiful Italian ingredients that can be found close by in multiple towns. This was our favorite spot so far on this trip and we would definitely return if we are back in the Florence area again. Some tips for the next American guests. 1. Italy in every location we have been to seems to prefer firm mattresses, this one is no exception. 2. Recycling in Italy is much more involved as everything is separated, luckily Antonio helped us with this figuring it out. 3. If you do laundry in Italy realize that most places do not have dryers and air drying your clothes could take a few days depending on the weather. 4. The restaurants do not usually open on Monday and Tuesday so they should be cook at the VRBO days in my opinion. 5. The restaurant Podere Torricella was spectacular and only a 1 minute walk from the house. The Tuscan steak is 1 kilo which was a lot for us, but they gave us a to go bag and we remade it into another meal the next night. 6. If you rented a car, which I'm sure you did if you are staying here, the roads are curvy and what looks like a 1 way street is actually both directions, so get a small car. 7. Bring cash to pay for heat and taxes.

This lovely house, situated on a great property, with a gorgeous view over typical rolling tuscan hills, left nothing to be desired. We were hostet by a wonderful family, which has been of great support, not even in regards of surrounding exploration targets, also organizational help in terms of travelling questions, and so much more. Grazie mille Antonio e Silvia for hosting us for two weeks, we always keep in our minds. We will be back. Wolfgang,Ursula,Peggy e Andreas
