About this property

The patio-garden from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the sunset on the hills has a covered area with a table to eat al fresco surrounded by the scent of lavender and jasmine.

The upper floor includes 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms
A very large room with a double bed, a smaller bedroom with 2 single beds, which can also be used as a double, and a third bedroom with a double bed and a single bed.
A bathroom with a shower and one with a whirlpool bath and a shower.

The small village of San Vincenzo a Torri ada parte and Ginestra Fiorentina on the other side only 2 km away offer everything you need, food shops, bars, post office, pharmacy, trattoria.

The area has been famous for centuries for the production of ceramics, as can be seen in the archaeological museum of ceramics, in Montelupo, one of the most important in Europe.

We could not have wished for a more beautiful setting. The house is beautifully decorated and includes so many personal touches. The gorgeous flowers, fruit trees and olive trees made the venue absolutely complete. The view from the patio is breathtaking for having coffee or a glass of wine. Restaurant recommendations and reservations were provided by our lovely host. All the bed linens were absolutely gorgeous and personally designed by Patrizia. You will be missing out if this location is not part of your visit to Italy.

Great location for Florence and Tuscany travel

What a great vacation! The property is an authentic villa. Patricia can help you with any local needs you may have--from how to get into Florence with a vehicle, where to park in Florence and avoid the ZTL, to local grocery options, to great recommendations on local and authentic Tuscan restaurants. The property is an easy location to travel the regional hilltop villages

Wonderful experience

Lovely property only topped by the graciousness of our host, Patrizia. She gave advice, made reservations, made suggestions. She also shopped for breakfast items to stock before we got there…and also shopped for a couple things while there. And one day we came back to a large bowl of delicious hand-picked grapes. House is old but has everything we needed. Slept the five of us Nebraska ladies very comfortably. Kitchen is tiny but we just do breakfast, snack and warm up leftovers. We really enjoyed our time there.

Dream vacation in Tuscany with dear friends!

We just loved the location of this lovely VRBO, just south of Florence 35 minutes. We were up on a ridge with vineyards surrounding us and from our patio we were able to view spectacular sunsets! Our host Patricia was wonderful and was able to obtain dinner reservations at delicious and authentic Tuscan restaurants every evening of our stay! It was one of the highlightsof our trip and discerning tastebuds!

Right in the heart of Chianti region

Had a great stay. The property is lovely and great to relax, rejuvenate, we went for a nice walk through the countryside road and the views are fantastic. Patrizia is easy to get a hold of and very friendly. Always asked if we needed help with reservations, directions or anything. Lots of restaurants close by, our only issue was the language barrier with ordering but that was us and nothing to do with the locals. Place was very spacious for the 2 of us and easily had space for 4 others if families are looking for somewhere.

My husband, 10 year old daughter and I spent 4 wonderful nights at Patrizia’s apartment. It was beautiful! The gardens, outdoor dining area location and view were perfection. The inside was clean, and cozy with a spacious upstairs. The views from the bedroom windows were amazing. Patrizia is the sweetest, kindest host. She helped us many times with reservations and recommendations for dinner. Our favourite dinner of our trip was at the restaurant Patrizia recommended. Thank you so much! Hopefully we can come back again one day. If you’re considering staying here, do it!!

Little Gem just outside Florence

A charming and rustic villa just outside florence. The perfect blend of quintessential Tuscan countryside and a short car or tram ride into the city center of Florence. We took our 3 adult kids and enjoyed our time taking day trips to wineries, San Gimignano, and Volterra over our weeklong stay. I can’t say enough about Patrizia’s hospitality! She helped with lunch and dinner reservations any time we needed them and even booked salon services for a couple of us! She’s wonderful to work with! AC works well and provided in each bedroom. Beds are very comfortable and Patrizia provided all the amenities we needed including laundry detergent. The only thing I would caution is if you are looking to do some cooking other then light meals, the kitchen is very small and would make it hard to accommodate. We ate breakfast in, but other then that it was either take out or dining out. Thank you Patrizia, we hope to come back some day!
