Perfect in every way. Excellent location. Beautiful views. Peaceful and cosy in winter.
Pro: The property was luxurious and was even better in real life than the beautiful photos we saw online. Our host was very friendly and was available if we needed any assistance. We hope to return one day!

Lovely.
Pro: The gardens, the rustic property, cleanliness and lovely host.
Contro: Minor point. The single beds in the second room were slighrly narrow, so really for children and we needed them to be a bit larger for one adult and a child.

A great find, bit of tuscany very close to the city.
Pro: A beautifull old farmhouse with an impressive garden and amazing views. You get all the sights and smells and sounds. Great location. Very well stocked equipment and kitchen with everything you need for self catering. Very comfortable and larger than i expected. The conservatory is really special. The host is easy to contact and very helpful. The rose garden nearby is lovely and leads to the Michaelangelo plaza which is also a stop for the hop on hop off bus. It is possibly to get grocery deliveries from Glovo.
Contro: Because of the greenery, you will need bug spray if you sit outside, but it is worth it. Being a farmhouse it takes a few hours to get used to the layout/steps/ old fashioned furniture but it adds to its charm. I liked it but it might bother someone who prefers modern facilities. When it's hot, the surrounding area feels very hilly/steep. It's probably not bad in cooler temperatures but definitely plan your transport before arrival if it's super hot. (I saw lots of people on golf buggys i was jealous i had not planned that!) Bring trainers as the path to the street is gravelly.

Pro: Great location just south of the river,, lovely view of the Duomo, spacious garden, easy parking, attentive and thoughtful host.
Contro: Nothing. To be aware there is one small set of 4 steps from the living room that do not have a guardrail. Not a problem for us but would require very young children or toddlers to be supervised near them.

As great as the pictures suggest
Pro: We were a little worried before coming given the low number of reviews and the amazing picture, but it's just as stunning in real life as in the pictures. The property is truly beautiful and the view is incredible. Despite how quiet and picturesque it was, we walked no more than 30 minutes max to get to the furthest destination we wanted to reach, so it was the best of both worlds. Check in was super easy and Corinna was responsive, kind enough to allow us to chill in the garden for an hour before check in and after check out, and even brought us a pastry. It's so nice that it almost makes you want to skip out on seeing some attractions so you can relax more in the sunroom, the lawn chairs, the pool etc.
Contro: Bring bug spray, the area does have mosquitoes, and the wifi doesn't extend to the bedroom area

Wonderful stay
Pro: Well equipped and comfortable rooms for long stay. Good for family. Peaceful location near piazzale Michelangelo.

Amazing location, amazing garden. Just book this house.
Pro: Amazing property. You feel like you are in the Tuscan countryside surrounded by a beautiful garden with olive trees, but then you glance up towards the horizon and spot Cupola del Brunelleschi, which is only a 20m or so walk. Great cafes, bars and restaurants nearby. Parking. Amazing location. Cozy house. It pains me to write a good review as we want to keep this hidden gem to ourselves.
Contro: Nothing!

Great for families, a unique and lovely house!
Pro: Location was perfect for us—we did not want to be in a busy tourist area but still wanted to experience the beautiful surroundings. We also wanted room for our two kids (3 and 5) to run around, which is tough to find this close to the city! As an added bonus, there were several excellent food options a short walk down the hill. In case you are traveling in summer and are concerned about the heat, this home stays nice and cool, even without the AC units on full blast. If we find ourselves traveling to Florence in future, I will book this home again without hesitation!
Contro: When we first arrived, we were not prepared to schlep our suitcases and kids up the dirt road after entering the gate. This should not deter you from staying in this lovely house!! Just be prepared. :) Also, this is not a criticism of the property at all, but it is a heads up for future summer travelers: lots of mosquitos at night!! Being this close to nature means bugs. The host provides some repellant, which is really nice.
