Holiday rentals near Villa La Pietra

The villa was fantastic for our family (4 adults and 2 kids). It’s a huge place and the pool was used every day (17m long!). Drive is bumpy but not bad at all. If you’re thinking about booking, just do it and the place is a credit to its owner Loredana.

We had a wonderful stay, and loved this quiet less touristy area of Florence. Alessandra was super helpful and great with communication, helping us feel at ease.

What a WONDERFUL WEEK!

We were 5 teens and 2 adults. The house was great - so much space, all the bedrooms were a nice size with en-suites, the pool table was very well used, there was so much to do in the house, the kitchen was very well stocked for cooking a few meals, and there was a beautiful view from the terrace. We would definitely stay again.

The apartment could not be any nicer. Family owned home. Cristina who meet us was very accommodating. The location was perfect and the back patio is a total bonus. Grazie Mille' Cristina

We stayed two weeks for our joint 70th birthdays, with old friends the first week and family the second week. The villa is ideally located for sight-seeing in Florence or roamimg about Tuscany. It has a lovely setting in a small valley south of the Pitti Palace, with a country view from the covered patio. The bedrooms are pleasant with comfortable beds and individual bathrooms. The kitchen and dining room were well equipped. Our housekeeper came in most days and was very pleasant and unobtrusive. We commented that Villa Fontanine was the perfect place to return after a day touring such a magnificent city and region in Italy.

Very nice little flat. Warm, very comfortable mattresses and linen, plenty of hot water. Location could not be any better; right in the middle of everything. The host recommended a restaurant, Trattoria Antellesi, which turned out to be friendly with great food and super wine.

This property is truly a gem. It is clean, warm and inviting. And the view……! You wake up to a stunning panoramic view of the Tuscan landscape every morning and watch the sun set into it each evening. It is a very short walk to the town center where there are several delicious restaurants. The kitchen is fully equipped should you want to just hang out in your home away from home and prepare your own meal from the freshest ingredients found at the supermarket which is equally a short walk away. Our hosts were there to greet us and Carlo provided a very in depth orientation to the property. He also answered numerous questions from us first time travelers to Italy! Flora is so lovely and she, too, spent precious time with us to provide so much information about the area. She even gave us a sample of her homemade jam made from the fruit found right there in their orchard - thank you so much Flora - it was delicious! Travel note: there are no taxis in San Casciano (they are dispatched from Florence - but they are reliable) so keep that in mind if you chose not to rent your own vehicle. However, there is a bus service readily accessible in the village which you can then connect to trains, etc. for touring the area. But, there’s plenty to do and see within walking distance of Il Viscola! This is a quiet, secret, unexpected little bit of paradise that should not be missed! So, sit back, pour a glass of Chianti Classico and take in all that is Tuscany!
