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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
