Typical charming country house situated on the Tuscan hills with an incredible view. The house consists of a cozy and spacious living room with a fireplace, an en-suite bedroom, a kitchen and a small room you can use for storage. It is an ideal base for a single person or a couple looking to enjoy and explore Florence and the nearby villages, and all the sites and attractions they has to offer. The house has master bedroom with a large bed that fits 2 people, the third person will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. DOGS ARE VERY WELCOME! We love dogs, we have a few ourselves so don't leave them home! The fee for them is 20 euro per day for the extra cleaning that we do for the next guest. Please be mindful that the flat is small so we cannot have big dogs ( max 10 kg) You will have free Wi-fi access. Towels and bed linen supplied and the bathroom has a hairdryer, shower gel and shampoo to save on your packing. Coffee and tea will be provided along with a list of recommendations on where to go to experience our city and countryside at its best.
Conveniently located just a 15 min drive from Florence, it's the perfect place to unwind and relax away from the chaos of the city centre. Newly refurbished, comprises all the amenities that you should need for a comfortable stay. Perfect for a weekend getaway or longer stays. Small dogs are welcome too. Enjoy a glass of Chianti in the garden looking over the fields of olive trees and we'll think about the rest!
