The Hall of Villa Migliorati
Medieval portion of the villa. In ancient times it was the main entrance. Place of relaxation and charm just a few kilometers from Florence. Galileo Galilei, the father of modern science, stayed in the residence.
Historic house overlooking the ancient courtyard of Villa Buonamici. It was built in the 13th century as a fortification, being part of the towers to protect the valley and still retains the proud aspect of the tower. In the Renaissance it was transformed into a comfortable residence by the noble Buonamici family, friend of Galileo Galilei, who stayed here as a guest in the 17th century. At the entrance of the house, on the stone portal, the coat of arms of the noble family is carved. The house is located in the ancient village of Savignano set on the slopes of the Protected Area of the Monti della Calvana. It is located exactly on the border between the woods and fields of olive trees that descend to the valley floor, just above the slow-flowing stream and crosses the village until it reaches the small Romanesque church. It is arranged on one floor for a total of 200 square meters. It has been expertly restored and furnished with pieces from the ancient Tuscan tradition. It retains a particular charm, still having the ancient plaster and original terracotta tiles. On the ceiling of the main hall you can admire the typical Tuscan bricks dated A. D. 1658. It has a private portion of the courtyard facing the house equipped with table, chairs and barbecue for outdoor meals, shared use of the pool and garden.
The pool can be shared with other guests. possibility of 1 extra single bed on request. possibility of cot and high chair on request.
the house is located in a medieval village overlooking a pristine stream and is completely surrounded by greenery on the border between the forest and the typical olive groves that characterize the Tuscan countryside.
Ideal point to easily reach places of cultural and historical interest, easily visited in a day (Florence, Prato, Pistoia, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Volterra and the other famous places of the splendid Tuscany). Car is required.

Perfect countryside escape
We really enjoyed the stay here in this countryside villa outside Vaino. After a very busy 4 days in Rome, we really appreciated the quiet, calm respite we found here. The pool was gorgeous and very refreshing on the hot afternoons. My kids especially liked the creek behind the residence with lovely fireflies at night. We will definitely return again!

Beautiful!
This was our first trip to Italy and we absolutely loved it. Cristina was so sweet and patient with us as we hit some traffic on our way to the villa. It was everything we expected and more. She called and reserved a place for us to get dinner as we were starving after a day of travel. We ended up at that restaurant twice because we loved it so much! The villa looked exactly like the pictures and equipped with everything we needed. It was serene and so peaceful and we had the sound of the creek which was very relaxing. Cristina had a book full of recommendations of what to see where to eat among emergency numbers and anything you could think of. We will definitely be returning to Italy one day as there is still so much to see and do. We would stay here again without a doubt!

Beautiful property and great location
We had a great stay at Cristina's villa near Prato. The property was beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. The pool was great after long days of sightseeing in the area. We found the location convenient for exploring Florence, lucca, and Pisa. we did a day trip to the cinque terra and one to Venice. Our unit had nice private outdoor and indoor seating areas, it was very clean and well supplied. We went with our four older children and there was lots of space for our family.

Tolle Unterkunft
Für einen entspannten Aufenthalt in der Zentraltoskana ist dieses Objekt absolut zu empfehlen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr geschmackvoll im toskanischen Stil eingerichtet. Die Vermieter wohnen im Objekt und stehen für Rückfragen gern zur Verfügung, Der Empfang war absolut herzlich. Trotz mehrerer Ferienwohnungen im Objekt hat jeder seine Privatsphäre. Der Pool ist toll gelegen, über eine Treppe erreichbar mit eine grandiosen Aussicht. Das Objekt eignet sich eher nicht für Gehbehinderte. Der Ort in dem sich das Objekt befindet ist sehr klein und ruhig. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist die abenteuerliche Zufahrt über eine enge schmale Straße. Man gewöhnt sich aber nach ein paar Fahrten daran. In der direkten Nähe kann man wandern und mountainbiken. Um Einkäufe zu erledigen, benötigt man zwingend ein Auto.
Durch die Lage in den Bergen waren die Temperaturen vor allem nachts sehr angenehm.
Absolut zu empfehlen.

Sehr schöne Anlage
Wir haben ein Haus zusammen mit einer weiteren Familie, insgesamt acht Personen genutzt. Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön und sehr gepflegt. Die alte Bausubstanz ist geschmackvoll restauriert, so dass man sich daran sicher sehr wohl fühlt. Die Anreise zum Anwesen ist ein bisschen abenteuerlich, wir haben sie jedoch mithilfe von Google Maps sofort gefunden. Dafür hat man von oben eine herrliche Aussicht. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.Auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen

Beautiful place to stay
our group of eight people stayed at cristinas apartment for one week and we had a great time. the pool area looks even better in real life than on the pictures. the entire apartment has authentic Italian interior design.
if we get the chance to make holiday in the tuscany region we will definitely consider booking one of cristinas apartments again.
