“Great!”
We had a wonderful stay in this authentic Italian house near Florence. The location is peaceful and surrounded by nature, with absolutely stunning views. A car is necessary to reach the property, but it’s well worth it once you arrive. The host was very kind and welcoming, and she has two friendly dogs that made the stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a genuine Italian experience away from the crowds, we highly recommend this place!

“A welcome retreat from the heat of the city.”
Very authentic with a really nice host (and some lovely friendly dogs too!) even though we were late in arriving due to a flight delay. Quiet clean room, a beautiful location. Hope to come back.

“Nice stay”
Our host was lovely. Very friendly and accommodating. Thank- you for going out of your way to spoil us on our special occasion. We appreciated the information given, history on the area and what to see. The views were great and the breakfast superb. Unfortunately due to the weather, we didn't get to appreciate the views as much. The house was very authentic Italian and everything clean and tidy. We booked from reviews not realising it was 2 1/2 km from Fiesole so for one night not really a walkable option into town for dinner or to look around. Our fault we should have researched more. Our host was lovely but the place looked like it needed a bit of TLC.

Amazing views from the rooms we had. There were three of us, so one double and a smaller single for our teenager, and this smaller room had its own terrace with a view. The dogs and cats are charming, as we like animals, with Ernesto the dog being a big hit with our son. Being in Fiesole was also a much better place to stay as Florence was very crowded. Plus lovely views from here. There are a handful of restaurants in Fiesole centre, so plenty of choice. Parking in Fiesole is busy but we always found a space, and to go to Florence got the number 7 bus (we were there on a weekend). Alida is a lovely host and would recommend staying her for 2 or 3 nights. Much better than staying in Florence. Keep an eye on the sat nav. Ours stopped at the property before Alida's but we found it by chance as we drove ahead a tad thinking we needed to turn around.

“A friendly host welcomed me to her B&B with fantastic views and a comfortable room.”
The host, Alida, was friendly and took care to make me comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, as was the dinner she cooked one evening. The location, not far from the museum, Teatro Romano, and church, was great.

Alida was a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. The location is excellent for Fiesole and Florence if you want a quiet and peaceful stay. There are some wonderful walks in the beautiful environs. The B&B is charming and authentic. The breakfast was excellent and Alida catered to our every need. We will return!

“If you are looking to visit Firenze, donnot hesitate, this must be the best option! :) we love it so much!”
To stay in this place is like you to be host by an italian friend. Confortable, and warm place to rest from the busy city and enjoy a neighbourhood not far from the city center by bus. The breakfast is amazing as well!
