Mariolina, the host, was truly exceptional! From helping my big family navigate the horrors of taxis in Florence, to her super effective communication, the appeal of our stay at this villa was made wonderful.Many rooms, large common spaces & beautiful scenic views to wake up to. Felt truly like a traditional Italian villa; would recommend if you don’t want to be in the heart of Florence but want easy access to the city, the outlet & the airport!

Grand Villa with panoramic views

The home is private, stately and well-maintained with over-sized rooms and stunning views of gardens, hills and downtown Florence. Mariolina is lovely and responsive to all questions and requests. The only drawback is the harrowing drive up the narrow, winding roads and steep driveway, but that can’t be helped. Once you arrive, it’s worth the climb!

3 days with 15 Friends

Big house with multiple rooms and bathrooms. It was perfect for ou large group of adults. Description is accurate. Our host was extremely helpful with logistics - it really helped make the stay a success! We had great weather and spend most of the time on the terrace which is very nice. We were a group of 15 friends. The only challenge is that getting taxis for such a large group was taking a bit of time but our host was again very helpful and organized it for us.

Large family group

We absolutely loved our stay in this villa! It is an older hunter’s lodge situated in the hills with stunning views overlooking the city. Each room is beautifully furnished with a story all of its own. There was more than enough room for our group of 12 to stay comfortably with large gathering rooms for eating, playing card games and watching movies together. Mariolina was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions we had, including restaurant and shopping recommendations in the area. She even had drinks ready for us in the fridge, and sent short videos to show us how to use unique features of the home. Even though it is in the hills, the villa is only 10 minutes away from restaurants, shopping and the Firenze Castello station.

Beautiful Villa and an amazing hostess

We stayed 2 weeks at the Villa. It was beautiful with amazing views. The villa is extremely spacious with large bedrooms and living areas. The kitchen is amazing. Mariolina was a wonderful hostess and very responsive to our needs. I had broken my leg just a few days prior to our stay and she went out of her way to make me as comfortable as possible. She has a wealth of information about the area and places to dine. We took a number of her recommendations and were not disappointed. She also introduced us to Alessandro, a private driver who took us on a custum daytrip to Tuscany. There were 6 of us and our it was an amazing day. Please be aware- In order to have such an amazing view in a stunning villa such as this, you have to be prepared to drive on some old and narrow roads. For the Italian driver, its no big deal but for the uninitiated it can be stressful. Small cars are best for sure or even better, take cabs.

Birthday trip

Overall we loved our stay. The villa had great spaces to spend time with others, both indoors and outdoors, and large bedrooms to spend time alone as needed. The kitchen was great, even though we ate out quite a bit and didn't do much cooking. There were a few plumbing issues that needed to be addressed while we were there, but they were quickly taken care of. The only drawback as far as the location was the fact that we needed to hire cabs and drivers due to the distance from the city. We didn't want to rent a car and try to drive in the city. We didn't mind paying the fare, but the cabbies were never too happy about the drive once they arrived. Fortunately we were able to get different ones each time. LOL We all loved the comfort of the beds and the bathrooms were quite nice. We were never lacking for availability to a bathroom. The property manager Mariolina was very responsive to any requests or questions that we had during our stay. She also helped us coordinate a lovely day trip to the Chianti area with a driver that she was familiar with.

The villa was beautiful with amazing views—definitely a peaceful and secluded getaway. The property has a lot of charm, though it is a little on the older side. Be aware that the drive up is very narrow, one-lane, and unlit at night, and getting any type of transportation (taxi or uber) was definitely difficult due to the location.Inside, the bathrooms had low water pressure when multiple showers were in use. The loft and basement rooms had little air circulation, and several of us ended up with numerous mosquito bites. Soap, shampoo, and lotion were not initially provided, but once I messaged the property manager, she quickly brought supplies for all six bathrooms, which was appreciated.The host was great—very communicative and thoughtful. She even left snacks, pastries, fruit, milk, and water for us, which was a lovely touch.One thing to note: while Vrbo shows the total payment upfront, the host required an additional tax in cash (euros) upon arrival. I’ve never experienced that before on any other rental site, so it was unexpected.Overall, a beautiful property with stunning views and a wonderful host, but with some quirks, bugs, and logistical challenges that travelers should know ahead of time.Thanks

Dreamy Villa with Florentine Charm

This villa is big and lovely! It's older but nicely decorated and has italian old world charm while still having modern conveniences. The bedrooms are each uniquely decorated and the beds very comfortable! The bathrooms vary in size and decor but all are fully updated with showers; some are ensuite and some a few steps away from the bedrooms. There are plenty of linens and a washing machine on the lower level. We had a lot of people and "cooked in" a lot...the kitchen is beautiful (chandelier and all) and well equipped (6 burner gas cooktop, electric oven, pizza oven, and grill...there is also a microwave,coffee makers, a big refirgerator and a second smaller one!). The dining room is big and beautiful (with a fireplace) and we had no trouble seating14 people. There's china, stemware, serving dishes, and enough silverware for large groups. The salon/living room is big with a fabulous chandelier and lots of seating (also a TV); we spent a lot of evenings there chatting and hanging out together. The salon opens out (french doors) to a big veranda/patio that has another large table (with a romantic draped awning) for outdoor dining; we ate outside a lot and the view from the patio is absolutely gorgeous...especially at night! There is also outdoor lighting (the property is nice landscaped and cared for) and plenty of parking. You will need a car (or cars, depending on the size of your group)! Our host, Mariolina was the best...always available and helpful!

Amazing!!

We recently had the pleasure of staying 30 days at the Sesto Fiorentino villa during our vacation, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The villa, nestled perfectly outside of the city in the picturesque countryside of Italy, provided a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and old Italian charm. The villa's location is off the beating path and was a little scary getting there on the first day. However, once we figured out another route, we were good to go. We were able to drive 10 minutes to the local train station, park our car for .50 an hour and take the train into the city, which was only 1 stop away. This gave us the ability to go into the city whenever we wanted to without the city traffic. The view from the villa was absolutely amazing. We could see the city center of Florence directly from the patio and several of the bedroom window, which is a gorgeous sight to wake up to, and beautiful to look at during the night. The peaceful and serene environment made it an ideal retreat for us from the hustle and bustle of city life. The villa is perfect for a large family group or retreat, it is a little bit on the older side but it exuded an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of the villa was undoubtedly the outdoor spaces and the property manager Mariolina, she was exceptionally patient with us, and helped us with all of our needs regardless of the hour we contacted her. We will definitely be returning whenever we visit Italy again!

Férias em família

Um imóvel antigo necessitando de alguns reparos. Realmente perto do Sesto Fiorentino mas uma estrada difícil. Sem carro não se faz nada. Mas me serviu pelo numero de pessoas que acomodava. Quanto ao acolhimento da proprietária, foi perfeito, pela gentileza e disponibilidade.
