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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Relax and enjoy
Overall, this is an idyllic property that is well located and offers a relaxing environment, with a really great pool that overlooks Florence (Duomo is visible!)
We met the owner (Giovanni) and on-site manager (Claudio) and they were very accommodating and helpful.
We had a catered birthday lunch at the villa and it was sensational. Thanks to Christina and Mauro.
It is however let down by its overall cleanliness - particularly the kitchen area. The oven was very greasy and the cutlery and plates etc were not well cleaned.
The road to get to the accommodation is challenging but once mastered it is ok.
Unfortunately, the property contact (Antonella) was difficult to deal with and very rude, particularly after we had previously advised of the small birthday lunch (she organised the caterer), only to say we hadn’t and then wanted to charge an event fee of €500-€2500, plus an additional cleaning fee! This soured the experience. We did not pay the additional fees.
Despite that low experience, I would recommend this property for a group seeking a great getaway outside Florence which is reasonably accessible by car, but would suggest driving to the nearly station and catching the train - 3 stops to Florence.

Idyllic and relaxing
The owner sent a very helpful guide once we booked.
The villa and property were idyllic and exactly what I was hoping for! We loved being able to eat outside as well as enjoy several peaceful locations to relax on the property; the patio, another outdoor seating area & the pool area. The inside provided ample space for our family of 8 & the air-conditioning worked well in the bedrooms at night. We hired the chef for 2 nights & loved it! The care taker, Claudio was friendly and nearby if we needed anything.
I had wondered how getting to and from the villa would be. There is no uber and taxis won't know how to get to the villa. If you aren't renting a car, book quickly with the driver that the owner suggests. Our hope was to get a driver for the first and last day when we were carrying luggage. Without a car, I also wondered what the walk to Settignano would be like. The walk is beautiful with spectacular views.Our adult kids (18-30) didn't mind making the walk down and back each day but for those of us who are older and not in our best physical shape, the walk took more effort and time (especially on hot days) It is up & down hill both ways. In the mornings we gave ourselves 30 min to get to the bus stop and took bus10 to Florence. Walking back took more like 45+ minutes.We did walk to, and ate at La Sosta del Rossellini and La Cupponcia both in the village. They were excellent! We also walked to the nearby Villa Gamberaia Gardens. We'd stay again.

Upon our arrival (after getting lost despite following the directions) we were disappointed.
The pros of the villa were the spectacular view of course! We were very pleased with that. The kitchen was very functional and easy to cook in. Claudio was very helpful and accommodating. The brand new high chair and pack and play crib were also a plus!
Unfortunately our overall impression was not what we had anticipated. The photos online really made the villa seem bright and airy and the outdoor space was a real selling feature. Upon arrival we found the villa musty and dirty. We realize this is an old building, however, cobwebs, dust and even a bloody bandage behind a sofa cushion were not a pleasant welcome. In terms of cleanliness this was by far the most unclean in all my VRBO experiences. The toilet in the master en suite also did not flush properly and we found ourselves using other bathrooms throughout the night.
The outdoor space wasn't desirable. The furniture was strewn about and also did not come across very tidy. Due to animals, the grass surrounding the pool was all dug up. Out of your control I realize but didn't make the pool area as enticing, especially with our baby.
All in all we made the best of things and had a nice trip but for the money we spent and the photos we saw it did not meet our expectation. The cleanliness and very musty smell were the biggest disappoint.
I hope this feedback is constructive for the future. It really is a beautiful villa and there is so much potential for it to be spectacular.

Thank you for your feedback about the villa, I appreciate your honesty. This is a real surprise to hear that you found the place to be unclean and untidy, I’ve always hired professional cleaners to thoroughly clean the house, as I know how important this is for my guests. Prior to each arrival, I personally double check that everything is in order to ensure that the cleaning has been done as it should be and that everything is operational. Therefore, I don’t see how this could have happened, but in any case I will follow up with the cleaners to be sure that the villa is immaculate each time. I’m also surprised to read that you found the outdoor space not desirable. The area is fully equipped with tables for al fresco dining and comfortable chairs and lounges, which our guests have been able to enjoy immensely. Regarding the pool, it is a brand new pool that overlooks the city of Florence and the whole area has been designed with a watering system for the garden, the lawn, and I have a full time gardener to make sure it’s well kept. For the toilet issue, we were able to immediately fix the problem during your stay. I’m glad that overall you and your family enjoyed your stay and I hope to welcome you back to the property in the future.

Beautiful Villa & Views with Hard Drive & Not Close to Town
The Villa was absolutely beautiful - rustic charm with some of the most breathtaking views of Tuscan countryside and the city of Florence I have ever seen. Amazing pool and great grounds to walk with a pond and dock. Internet is functional but do not come here expecting to work - it isn’t set up for high quality video calls. We came for holiday so that was not a problem for my family but I want others to be aware. Dishes were a little dirty so we always had to wash them before use…we discovered a dishwasher by day two so that made things easier! Some spiderwebs and dust but it is a villa so that was to be expected. 5 star bedding and towels - was very happy with these cozy comforts! They were clean, very high quality, and felt luxurious.
This is the perfect place if you and your family want to get away from the city and experience a quiet country lifestyle alone. Make sure to pre-order enough groceries for all your meals and book the chef. Going to the grocery store was not fun because of the drive up and down the hill into Florence. This is a great property if you only want to stay at the property.
Our family did not want to be this isolated and thought we could easily walk into town of Settingano for lunch or dinner. This was not the case as the walk to town was hilly uneven pavement and took much longer than the listing described (45 mins one-way). We may not have taken the quickest route but could not figure out the hand written map we received from Giovanni and didn't feel comfortable walking through people’s property not being able to speak Italian. Make sure to stop into Gamberaia Gardens on your walk although price of 20 euro was a little steep. No one was walking on these roads at night so we could only walk to lunch in Settignano. The drive was typical small town stone path roads in Italy so get a small car and be comfortable backing up when you cross paths with other drivers on the hill.
Overall this is a great property but I want people to know what they are getting into before they book. It is not that easy to get to the town and even harder to get to Florence. Private Drivers are expensive (120 euro one-way, 240 euro total) but they made our lives much easier as the drive was difficult…especially at night. Highly recommend Tommaso Ciliberti at Tuscany Shuttle Firenze - he was kind, timely, and really saved our vacation when we wanted to explore the city without worrying about someone having to drive. Now we know :)
