A lovely place for those with a car or very ambitious hikers. It's high, high above Prato, and very peaceful. A small villa, with orchards, a winding, switch back drive, and entrance gates, provides peace and privacy. The two charming sisters, Sara and Simona, who were our hosts (as well as the gracious and friendly gardener Ivano) were gracious and helpful. They are committed to their guests' comfort and enjoyment of the sites in this area of Tuscany. Our room was amazing - large, well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and a luxurious spa-like bath, with soaking tub and large shower. The breakfast was delightful and could be served on the terrace overlooking the city of Prato, the river, and the Tuscan hiils. A great base from which to visit Florence.

We had hoped to visit Florence during our one-day stay at the podere, but that proved not feasible. On our next visit, on a couple of days, we will drive from the podere to Prato, park at the train station, and take the train into Florence, For those without a car, a taxi is possible from the podere.

The location is very convenient for visiting Florence Continental breakfast is served at the property. Simona and Sara are extremely helpful, advised where to park the car or eat out in Florence. I received the instructions how to find the keys but still couldn't find them. Simona arrived to help me out at 12:30 pm on Saturday evening. No charge for late check in.

So...hear me out : imagine an old italian villa, fully renovated and decorated with the most amazing things, up on a hill, with a private street, with no neighbors or traffic, in the middle of an olive forest, managed by an italian family. The pictures do not tell the full story of this place...

Breakfast was a bit dull...but the location of this place beats anything...

Loved it! I had an super comfortable stay of one night that I wish had been more! The place is tastefully decorated and extremely well kept. The bedroom and bathroom had everything I needed and were very clean. One of the property managers, Mrs. Simona, was very kind and went out of her way to make sure my stay was excellent. She waited for a late check-in and even drove me in her car to a nearby pizzería so I could have something for dinner! The next day I was leaving early and she was very accomodating for breakfast. I've stayed in a lot of places in Tuscany and this is one of the best. Will definitely come back.

The only thing I didn't totally enjoy was the steep climb to the property which can be daunting if you're driving in/out late at night.

Great location and views Extremely well kept , modern facilities Great hosts, with excellent communication for access, comfort

I liked everything, the location, the comfort and the staff. this is one of the best places we have stayed.

The only thing I didn’t like was that I had to leave here!

Everything! Rooms, location, staff, garden, breakfast.

Nothing (well, the breakfast orange juice wasn't too good, but that's irrelevant).

Wonderful hosts, Simone and Sarah, the cleanliness of the house, pretty location setup with lots of flowers and a vegetable and fruit garden. They were so kind to offer to get us our dinner since we arrived so late with a baby <3

Nothing.

Everything was perfect, Sara and Simone are the best hosts ever! When we needed help, they were by our side. The place is amazing, very clean and has nice views. We will return! :)

This is a beautiful house surrounded by olive trees. Very quiet in the hillside, but just a short drive from Prato. The owner was wonderful and really knows the area!
