About this property

Florentine Hills LE SCALETTE

Located on the beautiful Florentine hills just 15 km from the center of Florence
Part of a rural complex of 1600 has been completely renovated with great attention to detail and to safeguard the simple and refined elegance of the typical Tuscan house.

Positioned on top of a hill, among vineyards and olive groves, it can be reached via a country road, dirt road and a closed ground.

The apartment is about 120 square meters on two floors with a fully furnished patio in a simple and elegant and equipped with all comforts.
The ground floor consists of a large living room with fireplace used as a kitchen and living room
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 on one side 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.

Despite being in the open countryside, given the proximity to Florence, the highway to PISA, SIENA and A1 MOTORWAY, make the location perfect for visiting all of Tuscany.

Relaxing in Tuscany

The villa was beautiful, and a great starting point to explore Florence, Chianti Road, Siena and Pisa. Patrizia welcomed us to the property with some fruit, cookies and wine, made dinner reservations for us, and was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing options!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!
