Violetta is a wonderful, kind person. She provided excellent suggestions on local restaurants, sightseeing destinations and parking. This property is a great starting point to explore Florence and Tuscany. My wife and I stayed in this apartment and our daughter stayed in an adjacent studio apartment in the farmhouse. Beautiful grounds with great views of the countryside and Florence.

Perfect Spot for a Relaxing Getaway

We had a wonderful stay on Violetta’s property, just as expected based on all of her amazing reviews. Even during the hot days, the villa stayed cool and comfortable. The bed was cozy, the shower was great, and the space had so much charm. The view from the bedroom was absolutely breathtaking. We had the pleasure of meeting a lovely German couple and a friendly American family who were also staying on the property when we arrived, and we all shared a meal and chatted. It was lovely. We brought home some of Violetta’s own olive oil as a keepsake. Overall, it was a beautiful and comfortable stay. Thank you, Violetta!

Amazing rental with an even better host

It was our 20th anniversary trip. This place made the vacation. Violetta is an incredible host and I’m proud to call her part of the family now. The small village that the house is in is great. It has a small coffee shop that is great for breakfast or even a glass (or bottle) of wine. There is an absolutely wonderful restaurant very close. Violetta can set you up with a reservation. You will need a car here. Florence is only a short drive away as well as all the great medieval towns like Luca and Siena. I can not say enough about the location and the host. You will not be disappointed at all. The first drive in is a bit of a learning curve but after that it will become second nature. Enjoy sitting outside after a long day of exploring and watch the sunset over the Florence skyline while having a glass of wine. Paradise.

Idyllic Tuscany

From the view of Florence in the distance, to the Olive Grove right on property (and yes, Violetta presses her own brand of Olive Oil… OLIVIO), this Tuscan Retreat was everything we hoped it would be… quiet, peaceful, elegantly rustic, and breathtakingly beautiful. If you’re hesitating… don’t.

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!!!

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.

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!!!

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!

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.
