Our family consisted of Grandmother, Daughter, her husband and two adult children.'
We enjoyed the Villa Florence Flower so much we are ready to return. It was clean, well equipped and relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The scenic views were breathtaking and the train station was only minutes away. This made it easy to get to Central Florence but we used a rental car to explore the surrounding countryside. The landlord was very friendly and made himself available to answer all our questions and make our stay all the more enjoyable. thank you for a memorable vacation.

We toured Florence on two separate days but the highlight was the day we spent at the Uffizzi museum. We were able to get advance tickets for this which made it easier to get right in rather than waiting in a long line. We also drove to Pisa to see the main sights and then to Livorno on the coast to view the sea. One of our explorations brought us to a small town called Empoli where we relaxed away from the crowds and found two small galleries which were educational and charming. Everyone was friendly and cordial along the way and the weather was exceptional when we were there.

Zeer mooi gelegen en sfeervolle Toscaanse villa, authentiek ingericht maar met alle moderne comfort. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaar.
Buiten was het zeer heet, maar binnen lekker koel en ook fijne afkoeling mogelijk in het schone zwembad.
Enige nadeel is de slechte dirtroad als enige toegangsweg.

Malmantile is een leuk klein dorp met kleine kruidenier en gezellige pizzeria. Ook is er gratis vers water te tappen op het marktpleintje. Het station in Lastra a Signa is de ideale vertrekplaats voor een bezoek aan Florence en ook is er een grote goede Coop. Wij hebben ook heerlijk gegeten bij Edy Piu in Lastra en bij San Vito tussen Malmantile en Montelupo, waar we ook heerlijke wijn kochten.

The Villa is located along a unpaved road a short distance form the main road nestling in beautiful Tuscan countryside, perched overlooking 20 hectares of olive trees and vines forming the original estate. The views and the position are stunning, completely seclude, private and secure.

The Villa was spotless, every room, every surface every pot, pan, glass or plate gleamed. The inclusion of a snooker table and a fabulous piano made this a really special and unusual holiday villa. It has the feel of a family home with lovely furniture and fittings throughout. Further uniqueness is conferred by the presence of the Caruso Room which is furnished with items that were owned by the famous Tenor who lived locally, this is a very special place in which we were lucky enough to spend time.

Whilst a short 10 min drive away the attractions of Lastra a Signa provide great range of shopping, restaurants and gelateria. Our favourite restaurants were Antica Trattoria Sanesi, the very best Steak Fiorentina in the region, Gelateria Gippino's and L'Officina del Gusto for fabulous alfresco casual dining. Florence is literally 20 minutes away with all its attractions, we also visited Luca and Siena around an hours drive away and would have loved to have done more but we were only here for a relatively short break and it was too hard to drag ourselves away from the beautiful pool, terraces and BBQ.
