About meal...: Upon request, it is possible to prepared Tuscany dishes, carefully cooked by my mom Mina. The dishes are those of the ancient Tuscan tradition such as Pappa al Pomodoro (a soup-like dish prepared with bread and tomatoes), Ribollita (a potpourri of local vegetables and bread, simmered for hours and hours), and Tripe with tomato sauce (a very typical Florentine dish).

The History: The villa was built in the XVII century. At the beginning of the '900 the Berni's family bought the villa for the summer holiday in the Florentine countryside. The villa has been lovingly and elegantly restored at the begging of the 2007 with traditional taste and contemporary comfort. The four fireplaces, terracotta floors and antique furnishings compliment the history of the villa, while the luxurious linens, modern bathrooms and air conditioning create a relaxing elegance in this tranquil country setting.

Two weeks in Paradise

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect location. The property was magnificent. Every area was well stocked (kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, bedrooms). The hint of home was everywhere. The surroundings were comfortable and the furniture was beautiful, providing plenty of room to store items! The "Park" with lemons and limes, offered many sitting arrangements, and the host even left the pool available for the 2 weeks of our visit. We fed the turtles wandering around and RELAXED! Marcos, the driver - was truly exceptional and always on time! He drove us to Pisa and a few of our trips lasted several hours. He patiently waited and always greeted us with a smile! From games and books in the study to a perfectly stocked china cabinet - there was nothing more that was needed to make this a superb vacation location!

Italan villa outside of Florence

All the ameneties were provided, everything you needed to cook including fresh vegetables. Villa was beautiful, great character, courtyard was amazing. It was a picture perfect and enchanting location to stay. We took advantage of the driving service and Marco is absolutely wonderful. Using Marco's driving service made every part of the trip better. We went to Lucca, Siene, various vineyards and restaurants and having Marco drive made everything easy. Retiring to the coutyard at the end of every evening for some wine was just perfect. 5 stars all the way.

Florence Villa for 15 days

We flew to Florence and started our visit with a great pickup from the airport by Marco. We hired him as our driver for the whole 15 days. He was punctual and easy to work with. We planned his time at least 1 day in advance. The villa is old and does have some mold in shower and not hot water in all of them but overall we loved the property. It was hot so we used the pool daily. It’s not heated so it’s very refreshing! We cooked our dinner most nights. Marco took us to the grocery store multiple times. Beds were comfortable. We asked for clean sheets and towels after the first week and Enrico and his crew were very accommodating. We walked to the Locande Colazzi restaurant for lunch one Sunday. Only 1/2 mile away. Good food. Thanks Enrico and Marco for a wonderful stay at your villa.

Great for families

We had a great time! The garden was ideal for all 4 children and we really enjoyed the pool. Having the game room was a great outlet for the children while the adults lingered at the oversized patio table. Marco was an added bonus! Thank you for driving us all over Tuscany!

Enjoyed a family gathering here.

Our group of two older parents and two daughters with their families (total 10 with 4 children under 8) had a great time at this lovely home for a week long stay. Beautiful location and a large older but updated with modern conveniences home was perfect for us. We hired the 8 passenger NCC taxi with driver during our stay.
