We liked that we were greeted by the host who showed us the room and around the house. The breakfast was excellent as my husband had scrambled eggs and a variety of cheeses and salami/ham. There were also freshly baked croissants and bread, and usual offerings like yogurt, juice, and espresso coffee. We had access to the internet, and there was an air conditioning unit that we used as the outside was 40C.

No complaints

Amazing host Simone – we truly felt like we were staying at a friend’s home. The villa is beautiful, with a lovely garden and a delicious breakfast provided each morning. The room was small but full of charm. Although the location is about a 50-minute drive from Florence, it’s absolutely worth it. After the bustle of the city, it’s pure pleasure to wake up to the sounds of bees and birds.

Shower little bit small

The accommodation is a beautiful little house at Lago di Bilancino. The scenery is calm and serene, and the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. We were welcomed very warmly and felt welcome throughout our stay. Bahia Cafe with a little beach, sunbeds and a little bar is only a 10 minute walk away.

Our bathroom was across the hallway from our room. It wasn't a problem for us, as we only stayed a night, but just be aware.

Beautiful house and gardens with the beat host that made you feel very at home from the start. Breakfast selection and coffee was excellent and even fresh scrambled eggs. The fact that property is pet friendly is a big plus! My dogs loved the walks by the river everyday. Will definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

Walls are a bit thin (or could be there were just some loud guests for the 1 night). Not the property’s fault of course!

What a beautiful gem this Villa by the Lake is! Not only is it a stunning setting but it felt like a home from home. We were fortunate to have stayed for a week! Despite the rain we enjoyed every minute! Simone was an attentive host and made us feel so welcome.

Nothing - for us it was perfect

Owner Simone was ultra helpful. Helping us travel to and from florence. Short walk through the back of the property to the lake cafe/restaurant. The unit was incredible, kitchen great for cooking.

No public transport, highly recommend getting a car.

Amazing location next to a lake in the countryside - some good restaurants near and a nice breakfast. They do a great job to make you feel welcome and the owner is very nice 😊 we felt amongst friends here

It was slightly more rustic than expected but the cozy warm friendly feeling of the staff made it such a nice stay

Very nice place to stay, maybe even more than we stayed. The apartment was big enough, clean, new, and the host was very friendly. The walk to the lake in the afternoon is a must! It was a good accommodation for visiting Toscana for those who travel by car.

nothing worth mentioning

The location is perfect for a relaxing break with a few good restaurants only minutes away. Simone was a great host and helped us find an easy route into Florence that worked out perfectly.

Nothing

Simone and Roberto are fantastic hosts and such warm people. Me and my partner loved every minute of our stay here, it was truly magical. Nothing was too much to ask for, our room was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast choice was great. We can’t wait for our next stay and hope to return with our extended family next year xxx
