The villa was a dream. Plenty of room and privacy for our party of 7. Giovanni(our host) was very pleasant and accommodating. I only wish we had stayed more than 3 nights. We all absolutely loved it.

The house was very nice, and a quick trip in and out of Florence. We had a little bit of issues with our check-in, but Giovanni was great and accommodated all of our needs to make our stay great. The house and pool are exactly what you would want and expect in a Tuscan hills house, and we had amazing views. If you are going to stay here, make sure you have a good plan for getting in and out, because it can be tricky. If you decide to hire one of their recommended chefs, I highly suggest Christina; her food was absolutely amazing!

There were definitely pluses and minuses about this property. Giovanni was a very nice gentleman that owned the property and was available to address any concerns. At one time this was surely a wonderful estate and the owner is working hard to bring it back to its former self. However, the property is not very easy to get to and is NOT within walking distance to the town. The house itself was charming, but the outside areas were unkempt and very rustic. The pool was unusable for the duration of our stay because of improper maintenance. You will need a car if you rent this place and be sure to get insurance as the driveway is long and unpaved and undercarriage damage is a high possibility. The photos are somewhat misleading as to its condition. Downgrade your expectations just a bit. At half to 2/3rds the price this could be a fit, otherwise maybe consider other options.

We were only at the Villa for a short stay, but it was so beautiful. Exactly how I pictured it, cozy home, stunning scenery, and luxurious pool. Our stay was exactly as we hoped, zero disappointment. We highly recommend. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Comfortable country villa

Giovanni was extremely helpful in showing us the best way to arrive at his villa. It was a bit challenging, but so worth it once you arrive at this bucolic setting. The accommodation was homey and comfortable. Everything I imagined an Italian Villa to be.

The Florence views were amazing.Definitely meet the owner in the next town over upon arrival if driving, since it is tricky to enter the driveway to the villa. Recommend a small to midsize vehicle since Florence roads can be very small (we pulled in our mirrors to travel through some roads).The owner is very helpful and friendly. Great stories about the villa when we saw him caring for the property. Also, allowing to have the groceries stocked upon arrival was wonderful. Great service. Pool had a great view and was kept very clean. A little walk from the villa but lovely.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Upsides: charming home on a huge piece of land with stunning views. Downsides: the home is located up in the hills which is very hard to access (not for less confident drivers). The home was not deep cleaned upon arrival. We found mold in the washer and cobwebs in every corner. The place is poorly maintained and outdated (not as cute as on the listing photos). You can't lock the property at night or when you leave (door locks simply don't work). The property owner Giovanni, who is a nice guy, works on projects literally around the house, which impacts privacy. Our biggest disappointment however, was the pool. The unique selling point of the property. THE POOL IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM MID-MAY TILL END OF OCT. This was not clearly communicated with us and only mentioned somewhere hidden in the policies of the listing. We find that very misleading. Communications with the property manager, Antonella, was unprofessional. Definitely not worth 1000 a night.

Amazing Villa! Can’t wait for our next stay

This villa truly surpassed our expectations! The photos online do not do it’s beauty justice. It is unbelievably stunning. Giovanni was also extremely accommodating and friendly. Met us upon arrival and gave tons of recommendations on top of the booklet that was already provided. Just a 20 minute drive from the city center of Florence, it was the perfect escape out of the busy city. I cannot wait for our next visit to Florence! Grazie!!

Wonderful views

The setting of the villa in the hills above Florence is impressive. There's a lovely pool also with magnificent views. The property is isolated and therefore extremely quiet and peaceful. The house is in need of some maintenance- from the front door which sticks to the air-conditioning in the first bedroom upstairs on the left which doesn't work and numerous other small things which need fixing,replacing or updating.

Beautiful Villa

Giovanni’s home is beautiful and very comfortable. The surrounding countryside is gorgeous. It was a little difficult to understand the roads around the villa and villages, but after a while we figured it out! Giovanni helped us with everything, from supplying delicious food upon arrival, groceries, heating, and suggestions for our trip. He was a great host! We loved being in the countryside as well. Not too far from Florence. I would recommend renting a car but taking the train into Florence from the Rovezzano station, as driving in Florence is complicated.

Beautiful Countryside Villa

About 30 minutes outside Florence city center, up windy roads, you’ll find this peaceful, beautiful property. The air conditioning in the bedrooms helped beat the midday heat of summer, but most of the time we were swimming in the pool. The furnishings are to be expected. Most importantly, the homeowner was welcoming and the groundskeeper always greeted us in the morning on his tractor!

Wonderful, secluded country estate

I spent the Christmas holiday with my family at the Villa Casanova, and Giovanni the property owner was absolutely wonderful. He connected us to a private driver and private chef for our stay, and we loved the scenery and the accommodations, the house is quaint but comfortable and we spent many fun nights cooking and spending time with family. The caretaker Claudio is also very helpful, and helped resolve any small issues we had during the week. The only thing to keep in mind is that the roads are quite hilly and narrow, so getting to and from Florence takes some care. The countryside is beautiful and quiet though!

Country Italian Charm

We had a great stay at this charming property. Everyone attached to this property from the owner Giovanni, Claudio the grounds keeper, to Antonella who helped us plan in advance were a pleasure to deal with. Great way to stay near the city, but also feel at peace in the "jungle" as one of our drivers put it. The weather wasn't 100% cooperative (lots of rain), but we made the best of it. Definitely good to book the drivers in advance (as we confirmed once there, would have been too freaked out to rent our own cars). Plan ahead and you'll be good to go! We also booked Cristina to do a cooking class which was so much fun and delicious. Great stay - Thank you so much!

What you expect from a Tuscan villa

We had a great stay. Giovanni was responsive via whatsapp to any of our questions. The pictures of the property are representative, but obviously at the most beautiful time of year. We booked Christine for our last meal and she and the meal were great. I would recommend booking her for your first meal as well because we were tired when we finally arrived and then had to set out for food. Also, recommend pre-ordering food and having it at the villa when you arrive. This place won't be for everyone. It is fairly remote and the drive is somewhat challenging if you stick to the correct routes and very challenging if you try to go your own way. I wouldn't want to depend on private drivers unless you were planning on camping out at the villa only. It's rustic in all the best ways.

Gorgeous Villa - Monster to Find

The Villa is beyond gorgeous..the setting is beautiful. It is everything described. DO NOT try and find it yourself. CallGiovanni. After you learn the way, it is still a bit difficult but manageable. Remember, it is an old Villa. you will not always have hot water if there are 8 people. There is a washer, no dryer. There is A/C. but only in the bedrooms and not strong, but nice. We loved this Villa. We would return. We had to go and buy toilet paper and paper towels....not sure what this was about...but it is nonetheless delightful.

Our Stay In Florence

This property is magnificent! It is out of the way in the hills overlooking Florence. Pro tip here if you want to stay here. Settignano is about a 1.5km walk into town. Here you can grab the bus to Florence or any other destination. The walk down is fine but the walk up can be grueling. You have to make 100% sure you have transportation or you will be isolated! We stayed in May and temperature was perfect and the grounds green and lush. Warm days and cool nights. We had 8 stay in the villa and it was terrific. Bedrooms are more than accommodating. The pool is a great place to hang out and the picture doesn't do it justice. It is really nice. Overall i give it 5 out of 5 but only if you have a car or driver on call. Grocery store is not far but again i can't stress the need for transportation. I wonderful trip!

Our stay in the hills of Florence was absolutely unforgettable. The house was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family of six (my husband and I, our two boys, and my parents). The setting was peaceful and breathtaking—you could hear the church bells ring from the nearby village of Settignano, which added such a special touch to the atmosphere. The sunsets were gorgeous!Our boys loved swimming in the pool every day, while I especially enjoyed strolling through the olive grove and exploring the vast property. It truly felt like a slice of Tuscan paradise.What made our stay exceptional, though, was the owner, Giovanni. He was such a kind and generous host, always available to answer questions and eager to help. When our luggage was delayed for several days, Giovanni went above and beyond—making calls on our behalf and even driving to the airport himself to retrieve our bags. His thoughtfulness and care made all the difference.One word of advice for future guests: do not rent a large passenger van when staying here. The roads leading to the property are very narrow and winding, and we unfortunately damaged our rental van trying to navigate them. A smaller vehicle would be much better suited.This property is a gem, and Giovanni is a treasure. We would return in a heartbeat!

Awesome break from busy cities!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the villa in the countryside outside of Florence! It was a very nice respite from the busy and crowded cities like Rome and Florence. The villa is charming and the pool a welcomed delight! It was lovely and personal to be met by the owner, Giovanni!! He showed us around and oriented us to the property. Thankfully, we shopped prior to arrival as the groceries are quite a distance on foot. We did attempt this once both for exercise and experience. The walk can be steep and the heat of the summer make it challenging even for a family of exercise enthusiasts. The views are amazing though! The little town was charming but not much available there. Fortunately, we booked Cristina for all meals! These were organized and delicious and in my opinion- a MUST! Although it is recommended to have a car driving would have been quite challenging with narrow roads and hairpin turns. We opted for private drivers recommended by the staff and again- I strongly advise this! We used then to travel into Florence for the Tour de France which was an amazing experience as well as sightseeing and dining. If you are looking for a quiet charming place to regroup, recharge, relax, swim and read this is your place!
