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.

Love Villa Violetta
The villa is very clean with modern bathroom fixtures and kitchen appliances. The beds are very comfortable and wifi is free. The view is spectacular with beautiful Tuscan sunsets and the garden is lovely and serene. Our hostess Violet is very helpful and nice. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone who wants to stay near Florence, Italy.

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.
