Tranquil place in Tuscany

Lovely little house overlooking the olive trees. Easy and short walk into the town which was beautiful. Lovely market on a Monday. Restaurants were top quality. Didn’t have a bad meal the whole week.

Il Visciolo

This is a wonderfully kept place in an absolutely perfect location. The town is very friendly with quite a few really good restaurants. The perfect location for day trips to Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano, Florence, etc. Flora and Alessandro are wonderful hosts. Flora is a great help if you need suggestions of things to see, do and to know what is happening around the area. I highly recommend this stay!

Anniversary Vacation

Flora’s property exceeded our expectations. It was obvious she takes great pride in her property and the comfort of her guests. The villa was well equipped with kitchen supplies. As well the villa was immaculate. If given the opportunity I would definitely return.

Holiday Home with a View

The view was spectacular and house was within walking distance of the town. It was a beautiful, typical Tuscan style house.. Flora was responsive before our trip and during and gave us many suggestions of things to do and tips about Italy. We rented a car and did many day trips with Siena being the greatest distance. The entire experience with my sisters in Italy was fantastic and we all loved it.

Fantastic

The villa is even more beautiful in reality. The view is gorgeous and uninterrupted. The short walk to the village means you can get whatever needed without a car. Excellent bus service to central Florence and all tourist sites. Hosts are wonderful, kind, patient and very knowledgeable. Speak English which we found very important. Best time of our lives.

The property was better than we expected, with impressive architectural designs. Everything was clean and comfortable. There was easy access to Tuscany and to Florence (10 miles, 25 minutes by car to the tram taking you into the city). The host was helpful about navigating the region and alerted us about general strikes in the nation. San Casciano is a lovely town with few visitors. We enjoyed the shops, restaurants, and gelato shop! A pleasant surprise when we became ill was a very helpful pharmacy and a free clinic open 20:00 until 08:00. Yes, it was open overnight! The one aspect of the stay that was less than ideal was the very low ceiling in the sleeping loft. We would book here again and recommend it to family and friends.

Excellent location to access Firenze, Siena and the beautiful Tuscan countryside

Unhindered view of the countryside while have access to all amenities in San Casciano. Walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store and five minutes to country roads for long, relaxing walks. The two bedrooms are airconditioned and that was a blessing in the scorching temperatures of this year. The living room/kitchen has a fan which was OK although not as good as the AC. The house was extremely clean and organized with instructions in multiple languages for appliances etc. Nice backyard for al fresco dinners and private sunbathing. The hosts were friendly and always available. We had a great stay

Perfect home base to explore Tuscany

Just 25 minutes south of Florence, Il Visciolo is perfectly situated as a home base to explore Tuscany. Located in the village of San Casciano, the home is within easy walking distance of the charming downtown, with an abundance of restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias, bakeries, wine and gelato shops. There’s also a large “super market” nearby to stock up on essentials. The views from the back terrace were breath taking and changed throughput the day with the setting sun. Flora, Alessandro, and Carlo were perfect hosts and provided us with a helpful introduction to the property, the village, and the surrounding areas. Flora helped us plan our week of sightseeing, which was greatly appreciated. Our family of 4 had a magical vacation and are already thinking about our next visit!

Magical Vacation Spot!

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!

Très bel hébergement avec une magnifique vue ! Flora est au petit soin et disponible en cas de besoin. Nous avons pu visiter tous les sites incontournables de la Toscane : Florence, Sienne, Volterra, Pise, San Gimignano, Lucca… et plus encore !

A traditional Tuscan house that combines easy access to a bustling Tuscan town with views over a beautiful rural landscape. Flora, Alessandro & Carlo met us and proved to be the perfect hosts - welcoming, friendly and helpful without ever intruding on our time or space. the centre of San Casciano is a five minute walk away - it has good restaurants and shops, a lovely small museum and a definite non-touristy, authentically Italian energy. It gives easy access to numerous towns and villages as well as larger cities like Florence and Siena. We had two wonderful weeks there and miss it already.
