Om overnatningsstedet
Hilltop paradis cottage, et stenkast fra Firenze!
Ejendommen ligger på en privat bakke, en halv kilometer fra hovedvejen. Det er kun 8 miles fra Firenze, men på grund af det er en rolig og afsondret følelse, er det som om det var helt nedsænket i sin omgivende vilde natur og meget langt fra de irriterende skarer ..! Der er privat parkering.
Lejligheden "L'Acetaia" har en privat middelhavsbuskhave med liggestole et bord og 4/6 stole, en jorden BBQ og en hamoc og en lille pool til børnene. Det ligger i to etager. Ved indgangen en spisestue med en dobbelt sovesofa og et lille køkken med gaskomfur, ovn og vaskemaskine. Et brusebad med håndvask og toilet. En trappe fører op til 1. sal. På din højre side endnu et badeværelse med to håndvaske, bidet, toilet og bruser. En kort gang, derefter dobbeltværelse med et buet vindue med dejlig udsigt over dalen ..! Der er to andre lejligheder på ejendommen: "La Stalla" til 2 p (40sqmts kode HAUK 8584399) med lille rækkehave og brug af fælles have og skygge og "La Vista" op til 4p (60sqmts kode HAUK 8551054), med dens egen tagterrasse med skygge. Bondegården bevarer alle de originale toscanske egenskaber fra det 13. cent, og det ligger i en fortryllende position. Ligger op på en bakke med fremragende eksponering, derfor masser af brise i varme somre. Privat parkering (40 yds). Tæt på Firenzes centrum (8 miles), 10 minutter fra motorveje (kyst, Pisa, Arezzo, Siena osv.). Disse kan ikke ses eller høres. Butik og bageri inden for 5 min kørsel (placering Inno). Typiske land 'trattorier', såsom "FIORE", "Mamalù", "La Lanterna", "Lo Spigo" og andre, ganske tæt (5/15 minutter).
Der er et meget praktisk "EUROSPIN" supermarked kun 30 meter fra kraftstationen på hovedvejen (Via Pisana) fra Via delle Fonti retning> Lastra a Signa på din venstre side (4,5 km / 5 prop.) Placeringen er tæt på alle de vigtige dobbeltkørsler, der fører op til alle de største byer og seværdigheder i Toscana (10 minutter). Disse kan imidlertid ikke ses eller høres fra ejendommen.
Efter anmodning kan min kone Anna tilberede morgenmad og typiske toscanske aften måltider.
I bunden af bakken er der en meget effektiv (hver 4 min.) Sporvogn, der går lige ind til centrum af Firenze (jernbane / station> Stazione di S. Maria Novella - sidste stop) i 15-20 minutter. Du kan parkere din bil ved siden af sporvognen gratis (6 miles / 6 km væk fra ejendommen i Scandicci). Billetmaskinen ligger ved siden af trikken (€ 1. 50 pp freq. Ev. 5 min). For at undgå bøder, skal du ikke glemme at validere årsbillet, når du er på sporvognen! Ejere økologisk ekstra jomfru olivenolie, økologisk syltetøj, konserver, chutneys, økologisk frugt og vin, kan købes.
Kæledyr er tilladt: Kun hunde under 10 kg hver (maks. ét kæledyr i alt)

Peace and Quiet
My wife and I stayed Podere Vigliano Vecchio for 7 days during our honeymoon as a base to explore the region. After being flummoxed by the crowds in Florence itself Julian and Anna recommended some smaller towns and local restaurants to visit which retained much more of the Italian charm we were after. Anna kindly even organised tickets for us to see the main galleries during our stay. Florence was only a short trip by car (10min) and then tram (20min) and yet you arrive back at the farmhouse in quiet and idyllic surroundings and I found myself stranded in the hammock for many an hour during the heat of the day enjoying the rolling olive groves stretching from the terrace. Loved it. Only tip would be to bring some mosquito spray!
Svar fra VrboOwner den 26. mar. 2020
Dear Nick,
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. I too love relaxing in the hammock after a busy day especially on a summer's evening, admiring the stars and listening to the different animals.
I have bought some extra strong repellent for the mosquitoes so if you come back I hope you'll find it effective.
Enjoy your second summer, of course I'm a bit envious, and
regards to both of you,
Anna and Julian

We hope to be back
We made Julian & Anna’s vrbo our home base for visiting Florence, Sienna, Lucca, Pisa, & Volterra. It was our first time in Tuscany.
First, our hosts are “salt of the earth” good people who are authentic & caring. They shared some vegetables from their garden with us, gave us good advise, and were wonderful to talk to about Italy & life. We truly enjoyed seeing them & talking to them every day.
Next, the apartment we were in had all we needed for our stay. It has a half size refrigerator and freezer that work well, gas stove, sharp knives, pots, pans etc. We lacked nothing. The beds were comfortable & we made use of the two fans they supplied us.
The showers both worked well as did the clothes washer. Our clothes dried quickly on the drying rack.
There is a new COOP about 10 minutes from the place. It has everything, including wine, prosecco, liquor, beer.
It is just a 10 minute drive to the tram parking lot called “Villa Costanza Statione.” Here you can park for free, and buy an Urban Ticket (only 1.50 Euro) to Florence (Firenze). The parking lot is often full, but we waited for the next tram to arrive & kindly asked if people were leaving. The trans run every 4-5 minutes.
We also purchased some jams, olives, & organic olive oil from Julian & Anna from their farm.
Five Stars if you want a country experience & good humans as hosts!

Vacances à Florence
Nous avons réservé dans le logement de Julian et Anna pour une dizaine de jours. Il s'agit d'un ancien corps de ferme, rustique, dans un cadre typique Toscan. La terrasse extérieure est clairement un atout important de ce logement : salon de jardin, parasol, séchoir à linge, plantes... situé au milieu de cultures. Le calme y règne en quasi totalité, nous n'aurons jamais été dérangé par les bruits de la circulation ou de la ville.Le logement se situe à 15 minutes de la station de tramway la plus proche pour aller à Florence. Vous serez dans le centre en 25 minutes, ce qui permet de profiter de la ville sans ses désagréments.Sinon, vous pourrez profiter en voiture de toute la région, car le logement est parfaitement situé à une heure de toutes visites incontournables : Sienne, Pise, Bologne, la station balnéaire de Viarregio et autres villages typiques à visiter.Nos hôtes ont été très sympathiques, à l'écoute et bienveillants. Nous avons apprécié nos nombreux échanges avec eux ainsi que leurs recommandations, qui nous ont permis de découvrir un joli lac où se baigner en toute tranquillité.Nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances et repartons chargés de bons souvenirs !

Himmlische Ruhe und schöne Aussicht
Wir haben uns bei Julian und Anna swhr wohl gefühlt .Sie haben unsere Privatsphäre respektiert,obwohl wir Tür an Tür gewohnt haben .Sie waren jederzeit ansprechbar und wir haben nette Gespräche gehabt.
Die Wohnung ist einfach,aber ausreichend ausgestattet,besonders schön ist die Terrasse .Hier kann man wunderbar entspannen.Wir die Belegung auf zwei Erwachsene beschränken ,die ein gutes Bett und angenehme Bäder vorfinden.Die Zufahrt und der Parkplatz sind ziemlich rustikal ,aber aufgrund der Lage des Hauses und der ländlichen Umgebung muss man anddre Maßstäbe anlegen als zu Hause .
Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

I have already left a review and said what needed to be said about these guests who have invented everything because of the bad weather and other personal issues . We never included the heating in the deal and if they wanted it they had to say it, apart from the fact that by law we are not authorised to use heating in this time of the year.
As previously mentioned in another reply, our guests never mentioned anything about their discomfort when asked by my wife to this lady's partner Mr Pierre..!
Most probably they wanted to be closer to town ..! Their arguments are totally out of place and very unkind, especially when they say we treated them like thieves ..!
We welcomed them with a very special wine and hoped they would be happy, but due to weather conditions they probably changed their minds..

Bilder versprechen mehr als die Realität hergibt.
Die Fotos entsprechen grundsätzlich dem Objekt. Sind allerdings sehr gut, bei hervorragendem Licht entstanden. Die Wohnung ist in Wirklichkeit dunkel und muffig. Es fehlt der Fernseher der auf dem Bildern zu sehen ist. Auch gab es ein ziemliches Theater um den w-lan Zugang und Qualität. Wir könnten uns ja auf die Terrasse setzen, da wäre das Netz ausreichend stark. Das Bett war völlig durchgelegen. Wir haben die Matratzen aus unserem VW Bus draufgelegt um schlafen zu können.
Am schlimmsten war aber die Zufahrt! Wir hatten Mühe den Weg runterzukommen ohne den Bus kaputt zu machen. An einigen Stellen ist der Wagen sogar ins Rutschen gekommen! Unser Fazit, da wir keinen Geländewagen haben, mein Rücken eh kaputt ist und wir zumindest ein Mindestmaß an Technik benötigen, sind wir, trotz voller Bezahlung, nach einer Nacht abgereist und haben uns eine wirklich schöne Unterkunft gesucht.

Paradise in Tuscany
We were fortunate to have chosen to stay in L’Acetaia. Originally a building from the 1400’s in which vinegar was stored, Julian and Anna have converted it to a comfortable apartment with every amenity. It exceeded our expectations. From the time of our arrival, we were treated as family. They offered advice on tours, places to visit, shop and dine. They are both very knowledgeable about the history of the area and we appreciated the time they spent with us.
We rented a car in Florence and had no problem finding the property. As you drive in, park, then walk through the gates, you enter a world where you can escape and leave your hectic lifestyle behind. It is centrally located, a short drive to Florence and a good starting point to explore all Tuscany has to offer.
Julian and Anna put their heart and soul into their property and it shows! We are thankful we had the opportunity to share in it and spend a wonderful week there.

The place to look for!
We only stayed for three nights, but we really thoroughly enjoyed this home away from home Julian and Anna offered us. We had a nice private terrace, the sleepingroom was cosy and in the appartment everything needed, was available. Florence was within reach with the tramvia. The house is in a valley in between cypresses and olive trees and the dogs Poppy and Alma were very friendly. We certainly do come back!

A pleasant home in a great location and the finest hosts!
L'Acetaia is a charming farmland setting and offers amazing views across the valley. Watching the sunrise against the beautiful backdrop of the hills is definitely worth an early rise. The secluded village location offers a perfect retreat whether you want to retire peacefully after a busy day or prefer to be laid back and spend the day relishing its idyllic setting.
The tram station at Villa Costanza is just 10 minutes’ drive. There is frequent train services that will take you into central Florence in 20 minutes. Our Florence Card plus purchase was worth the investment as it covered the tram fare and kids access to attractions. We managed to visit several famous museums and cathedrals over the three days we spent in the historic city.
Other major attractions like Sienna, Val D’Orcia, San Gimignano, Volterra etc. are also at easy reach by car.
The self-contained unit has all the comforts and conveniences that you would require to be ‘at home’. With two full shower rooms and a fully equipped kitchen, getting ready for the day’s outing was always smooth.
The real highlight of our stay was our kind, charming and lovable hosts Julian & Anna. Had it not been for them, we would have been stranded for hours during night when our rented car broke down during our journey from the airport and we couldn’t even get past the emergency helpline’s automated system. Without sharing further details, we can confidently say that anyone who signs up with Julian and Anna are guaranteed to be in safe and knowledgeable hands. Our only regret is that we weren’t able to join them for the olive gathering and pressing as we were pressed for time. The time we spent together with Julian and Anna will remain close to our heart and we look forward to meeting them again.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Siraj and Sumi and their two lovely children at our farmstay. They genuinely appreciated the peace and beauty of our rural location along with the proximity to Florence and the roads leading to the most interesting Tuscan locations. They were the most charming, friendly and special guests to have, who loved touring the area and Florence.
We happened to be harvesting and pressing our organic olives during their stay, so we were able to offer them a taste of the new 'spicy' organic extra virgin olive oil !

Very nice place for holidays - sehr nettes Haus für erholsamen Urlaub.
Nach zwei Wochen auf Elba blieben noch ein paar Tage für die Toskana. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Julia und Anna und ihren beiden Hunden empfangen, auch unser eigener Hund freundete sich rasch an. Die Ausstattung der Ferienwohnung liess keine Wünsche offen, Frühstück auf der Terrasse und Abhängen in der Hängematte bei angenehmer Ruhe. Kleine Wanderungen in der Umgebung und ein abendlicher Besuch in Florenz waren einfach möglich.
Kurzum: wir fühlten uns richtig wohl und wären gerne länger geblieben.

Typical Tuscany
We flew into Rome and took a rental car for 11 days to relax and tour Tuscany and see Florence and get a feel of an area of Italy we had never visited. Directions were perfect and we got great advise from Julian asnd Anna. The accommodation was as described with a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering. The apartment is situated on the ground floor and the high ceilings and direction made the apartment cool and shaded even though the weather was hot for most of our stay. We ate outside overlooking the fields and hills surrounding the house. The location was ideal for us. Both in the middle of nowhere, quiet and peaceful, but also 10 minutes by car from the Florence tram line and Ring Road for easy access to everywhere. We recommend days in San Gimignano and Volterra to the south and Lucca and Cinque Terre to the north. We visited Florence twice. The tram line is convenient and?
great and costs near to nothing. If you want somewhere quiet and off the beaten track, beautiful and good value for money, this is typical Tuscany.

Authentic Tuscany
We had the recent pleasure of spending just over a month at L?Acetaia. We visit Florence at least a couple of times each year, generally staying in the centre of town for shorter visits. Visiting Italy for longer gave us the opportunity instead to try a different approach: and we weren?t disappointed.
L?Acetaia is a welcome antidote to the hot, busy and often stifling centre, and a far more authentic way of experiencing what it is to be in Tuscany. Swap crowds of tourists for the beautiful views of the Florentine hills, with their tranquility and birdsong. And yet here you?re not isolated: head back down the hill to the new tram stop in Scandicci (free parking) and 20 minutes later you?re in the centre of Florence. It was lovely to nip into town for lunch and a little light shopping, knowing that (not without some relief) the peace of L?Acetaia awaited our return.
Alternatively, instead of an over-priced tourist pizza, head for the local bar (and deli) in San Martino alla Palma, deceptively sleepy, until you go inside and find the Gucci crowd from their local headquarters down the road.
L?Acetaia is a charming cottage, authentically restored from the old vinegar barn which abuts the owners? farmhouse, and is comfortable and well-equipped. Of particular note is the large private terrace, with lovely Tuscan views of Cyprus trees, olives groves and vineyards across the adjacent valley. Julian and Anna, the owners, are so welcoming: nothing is too much trouble. On a number of occasions we returned from our travels to find a jar of homemade marmalade or chutney, a bowl of plums (picked that morning from one of their fruit trees) or some fresh courgettes from the vegetable patch next to the terrace. It is little touches like this that make a stay here so special, and so different from an otherwise anonymous B&B.

Disappointing
We stayed in L'Aceteia. L'Aceteia is furnished to a very basic standard. The living room photo shows a TV and the inventory mentions DVD's etc, but none of these were in evidence. We didn't care about this particularly, but it is an example of a small measure of mis-representation in the details.
It was cool and wet when we were there so we asked for some heating. The owner turned this on and it did take the damp chill off. We used it for a couple of days, but while we were out the owners turned it off, exclaiming how expensive it was to use. Nowhere in the details we looked at did it mention a charge for heating, but we were presented with a quite hefty bill for gas as we left. So please please ensure you get this clear when you book, especially if going in spring or autumn.
It is a long way from any cafe or restaurant. The drive is very rough indeed. We used the trams to get into Florence and these were brilliant.

Dear Carol,
We are sorry you were disappointed with your stay. The unusually cold and rainy weather didn't help, but we will definitely go through our property details so that there will be no further misunderstandings in the future. I am sorry that you did not take my wife up on her offer of dropping the heating expenses, as you were obviously dissatisfied with the arrangement. As explained on the OD website's property details, we can no longer offer a TV connection. We mistakenly forgot to remove an old photo which shows a TV. DVD's are offered on request I'm sorry we overlooked this detail and thanks for your useful suggestions.

'Tuscan Dream'
Our stay in La vista was beyond all expectations...the location made Florence exceptionally accessible thanks to the proximity of the new tram system. Again the central location of the podere is ideal for further excursions eg. Sienna, Barga, Lucca, Piza etc. The owners , Julian and Anna could not have been more welcoming and helpful...ideal hosts. The directions given were excellent especially the GPS coordinates. We would highly recommend this well appointed appartment for those who wish to visit Firenze and surrounding area without the high costs and stress of living in the city its self. We will certainly return.

Om værten
Vært: Julian & Anna
My wife(Anna) and I (Julian) are British citizens, but both have some Italian blood and have lived on this property since we got married. I am essentially an extra virgin olive oil producer, but I also enjoy organizing wine tours. My wife is an English teacher in Italian schools, but her presence is fundamental for running this business. Anna is also an excellent cook and therefore has decided, if anyone wishes, to give a few cooking lessons (on the premises). Anna and I love living in the country and enjoy having guests who appreciate this beautiful Tuscan hamlet on top of a hill, but at the same time we are literally a stone's throw from Florence, where we wish to enrich our cultural and social needs !
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
This property is part of a hamlet which was bought by my parents in the late 50's. We decided to come away from Milan and live here, permanently, in 1971. We produced some of the best Chianti wine and an excellent oil, which was exported all around Europe, the US and Canada. I feel very attached to the place, for its approaches, the exclusive, magnificent views, the peace and quiet which makes it quite special and unique, right in the middle of the typical Tuscan countryside, but also very close to civilization!
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
The property is quite unique for its logistical position. Close to all the main roads leading to all the main Tuscan towns, close to the town centre, close to all the main supermarkets, small village shops and restaurants. A 800m private track road (1/2 mile) leading up to the property on a hill (belonging to the hamlet), avoids any potential traffic passing by thus adding a big plus note to this small paradise! Excellent for walks and birdwatching.
