Florence Villa Violetta

Violetta is a wonderful, kind person. She provided excellent suggestions on local restaurants, sightseeing destinations and parking. This property is a great starting point to explore Florence and Tuscany. My wife and I stayed in this apartment and our daughter stayed in an adjacent studio apartment in the farmhouse. Beautiful grounds with great views of the countryside and Florence.

We had a wonderful stay on Violetta’s property, just as expected based on all of her amazing reviews. Even during the hot days, the villa stayed cool and comfortable. The bed was cozy, the shower was great, and the space had so much charm. The view from the bedroom was absolutely breathtaking. We had the pleasure of meeting a lovely German couple and a friendly American family who were also staying on the property when we arrived, and we all shared a meal and chatted. It was lovely. We brought home some of Violetta’s own olive oil as a keepsake. Overall, it was a beautiful and comfortable stay. Thank you, Violetta!

It was our 20th anniversary trip. This place made the vacation. Violetta is an incredible host and I’m proud to call her part of the family now. The small village that the house is in is great. It has a small coffee shop that is great for breakfast or even a glass (or bottle) of wine. There is an absolutely wonderful restaurant very close. Violetta can set you up with a reservation. You will need a car here. Florence is only a short drive away as well as all the great medieval towns like Luca and Siena. I can not say enough about the location and the host. You will not be disappointed at all. The first drive in is a bit of a learning curve but after that it will become second nature. Enjoy sitting outside after a long day of exploring and watch the sunset over the Florence skyline while having a glass of wine. Paradise.

From the view of Florence in the distance, to the Olive Grove right on property (and yes, Violetta presses her own brand of Olive Oil… OLIVIO), this Tuscan Retreat was everything we hoped it would be… quiet, peaceful, elegantly rustic, and breathtakingly beautiful. If you’re hesitating… don’t.

My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon and had the most amazing time! Location is beautiful, with stunning views of the Tuscan hills and Florence below. Drive to Florence is about 25 minutes. The property itself was very charming, with plenty of outdoor seating to take in the scenery. Can’t recommend enough!
