Beautiful stay!
My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon and had the most amazing time! Location is beautiful, with stunning views of the Tuscan hills and Florence below. Drive to Florence is about 25 minutes. The property itself was very charming, with plenty of outdoor seating to take in the scenery. Can’t recommend enough!

Beautiful stay in the Tuscan hills
We loved the peace and quiet of this stay and the quaint farmhouse apartment. The small village a mile away was awesome with great steak and deli/bar. We wish we were still at this home watching the sunset over Florence. Violetta was so nice and accommodating. I would definitely go back!!!

Violetta was a wonderful host. She provided some wonderful insight for us on our first visit to Tuscany. She even offered us soup when we arrived late on the first day. We will stay again if Tuscany is in our plans.

Peaceful Retreat!
A delightful blend of the old and the new! Just outside our door was a lovely garden filled with roses and flowers and stunning views of Florence in the distance. Surrounding the garden on a terrace below was a beautiful olive grove. It served as our peaceful retreat after exploring Florence, Pisa, or enjoying a day of wine tasting in the Tuscan countryside. Our host was incredibly kind and accommodating. We loved every moment of our stay!

Amazing place in the quiet hills of Firenze!
We spent 3 nights here recently at the end of October and were spoiled with the views, the perfect weather, and an amazing host. We loved staying here! We even bought some delicious homemade olive oil from the host. The drive to and from the property is indeed interesting with the narrow roads, so be sure to rent a small car and drive slow. But once you get there, you'll love everything about it. It's charming, a bit rustic but with modern updates, amazing views, and an awesome host. Thanks for the stay! (Grant and Kate)

What a view
We loved staying in Violetta’s house, she was so friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. We loved Florence and could see the Duomo from the house. Lovely sunsets and loads of stars at night made this a very enjoyable few days. Would love to return one day. Thanks Violetta.

Peaceful stay
We loved it here, a lovely rural setting with fabulous views over Florence. Surrounded by nature but a short drive only to the city. Lovely accommodation, thoughtfully designed with everything we needed. Nice outdoor seating areas to watch the sun go down, or have meals and drinks. Violetta was fabulous, helpful, friendly, with lots of great ideas about where to go. Always available but unobtrusive. A fabulous stay, one we hope to repeat one day.

Stay Aug 30-Sep 4th
Villa Violetta is a very well located accommodation for those with their own transport. The property is gated (electronic gate opener supplied) with parking. Views are stunning. Roads to and from are narrow and winding (typical of this type of area). Easy access to local shops (Bagno a Ripoli) for supplies - note that most are not open on Sunday so if arriving on a Saturday make sure you stock up that day (and remember bottled water). Coffee maker is traditional Italian (not a plug in) so if you are unfamiliar with how these work, look it up or ask. Patience is required for a good coffee. Note that the water is heated by a gas appliance and gets VERY hot, bear that in mind when showering as there is no thermostatic control (as some of us are used to) - pressure varies according to usage so can cause fluctuations to water temp. Property has everything you really need and Violetta is very friendly and accommodating so if you need something don't be afraid to ask. My wife and I enjoyed our stay here.

Fabulous villa overlooking Florence!
Loved the villa and Violetta! Spent our 40th anniversary here along with our daughter and son-in-law. Such a special hostess who graciously shared her villa and time with us. We could not have asked for a more perfect place.

A dream come true
Violetta’s home was just what we wanted. Quiet, beautiful, tranquil countryside. A short drive from Florence if you are visiting there, but lovely area in the Tuscan hillside to relax. The home was charming and comfortable. Violetta was a great host, she was a pleasure to spend time with and she was helpful with anything required. We would recommend this location to everyone.

Delightful!
We loved staying in the first floor apartment of Violetta’s beautiful country home in the Tuscan hills. Her home is tastefully decorated, cozy and features a newly renovated kitchen. Violetta is a great host, very kind, thoughtful, and helpful. The location is about a 30-minute drive from central Florence, but well worth the trip!

Excellent base for visiting Tuscany
We really really loved the beautifully decorated place, the view to the Florence Duomo, and of course, our host, Violetta, so knowledgeable and warm. The place is not in the center of Florence, but if you want more than busy streets and tourists all around, it is a nice escape to the country side. What better place to think about all the nice things you've seen during the day than in between the olives, while looking at the Duomo. Thank you again Violetta, we had a wonderful time!!!

Raus aus Florenz
Wenn man dem Trubel in Florenz abends entfliehen will, findet man hier ein ruhiges, vollausgestattetes Quartier in fantastischer, ruhiger Lage, umgeben von viel Grün und mit toller Aussicht. Einzig das Schafzimmer ist ein wenig ungemütlich. Sonst ist alles perfekt und Violetta eine tolle Gastgeberin mit guten Tipps!

Es ist wie es ist
Ich war jetzt zum zweiten Mal in Folge in der Villa Violetta und es wird sicher nicht das letzte Mal gewesen sein. Es bleibt ein herrlicher, zentral gelegener Ausgangspunkt, um einerseits die Toskana zu erkunden und andererseits bleibt man auch gern dort um sich von den Entdeckungsreisen ins Umland auszuruhen. Ein Ort, um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Auf Violetta ist in allen Belangen Verlass, eine zugewandte und liebevolle Gastgeberin.

Das Haus ist ein guter Ausganspunkt, um Florenz zu besuchen und gleichzeitig ländliche Entspannung zu genießen. Der wunderbare Ausblick über die Stadt ist natürlich das Highlight, dazu kommen die charmante Gastgeberin, das nette Cafe im Dorf, die gemütliche Küche... Wir kommen gerne wieder, hoffentlich bei etwas besserem Wetter

Wunderschönes Landgut mit Blick auf Florenz
Es waren wundervolle und entspannte Tage bei Violetta. Die Aussicht, welche wir vom Garten & der Terrasse aus auf die Olivenhaine & Florenz hatten, war so atemberaubend schön, dass man es kaum in Worte fassen kann. Das Haus war perfekt eingerichtet & liebevoll dekoriert. Violetta besitzt eine so liebenswerte Art, dass man sich sehr willkommen & wohl fühlt. Besonders Ihre Tipps für Ausflüge in die Umgebung und nach Florenz waren sehr hilfreich. Und die frischen Feigen & Tomaten aus ihrem Garten ... sehr köstlich. Wir hatten abends ab und zu gekocht, da die Küche wirklich alles besitzt, was man zum Kochen braucht. Aber ebenso konnten wir eine sehr gute Trattoria fußläufig mit einem kleinen Spaziergang erreichen. Wir werden sehr gern wiederkommen :))

Die Villa ist in einem absolut beanstandungsfreien Zustand. Deren Lage eignet sich perfekt dazu, Florenz und die Toskana näher zu erkunden. Allerdings wird man damit dem Charme der Villa nicht gerecht, die einfach auch dazu einlädt, hier die 'Seele baumeln zu lassen'.

Traumhafte Toskana
Die grandiose Aussicht auf Florenz kann man direkt von der Wohnung und dem Sitzplatz davor aus genießen. Da das Haus ca. 300m über Florenz liegt, weht meist ein kühlendes Lüftchen, was den Aufenthalt auch in der Sommerhitze erträglich macht. Die Wohnung ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt zur Erkundung von Florenz, denn man erreicht mit dem Auto in weniger als 30 Min. die Stadt. Die Fahrt ist zwar z.T. kurvig über engere Strassen, aber das war für uns kein Problem. Die Ausstattung von Wohnung und Küche ist in Ordnung, man kann auch im Sommer gut schlafen, denn die Betten sind gut, das untere Schlafzimmer ist kühl und das obere hat eine Klimaanlage. Ein großes Plus: Die Vermieterin spricht fließend Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, sie ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, stets bemüht, unseren Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten, gab uns tolle Tipps z.B. für Besichtigungen, Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, bot uns Mirabellen und Zucchini aus ihrem Garten an, sogar eigenes Olivenöl. Kurz und gut: Wir haben dort mehr als 2 traumhafte Wochen verbracht und würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren. Einschränkungen wegen der Pandemie waren außer der Maskenpflicht nicht spürbar, im Gegenteil: Florenz, auch die anderen Toskanastädte und Museen waren ungewohnt leer.
