Il Fienile in the countryside just 11 km from Florence

This property is more than we imagined. Driving up a narrow, winding road into the Italian countryside we arrived at a gate which was promptly opened for us. The hosts were two absolutely wonderful people who took it upon themselves to show us into the property and give us instructions for using appliances, etc. The property sits on an olive farm and is very peaceful with great views. We were 2 couples and were very comfortable here. The town of Lastra a Signa sits at the bottom of the hill and Florence is only 10 - 15 minutes by car. You would do well to have a car here to get around. I would definitely stay here again. Arrivederci! everything ins

Great location! Short drive into town to the grocery store and public transportation to Florence. The hosts, Paolo and Alba, are wonderful people and we are happy that we had time to chat and get to know them. They were very gracious and generous. We stayed with our teen and young adult children and the space was perfect for our family of 5. We enjoyed the view and peacefulness of being away from the city. The kitchen had everything we needed and prepared meals multiple times. Would absolutely go back again and stay.

My husband and I are gardeners and were intrigued by this place and it was wonderful. A rennovated farmhouse built in the 1500s! All modern comforts inside. It is 2 story with bedrooms up. All is spacious and comfortable. Since it is a working farm, it is in the country, but the town, grocery stores and lovely restaurants are not far away. We had a car and enjoyed driving around the country. When we arrived, we had farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator. Alba and Paolo raise chickens. I loved walking through the olive trees and garden with Alba. We exchanged gardening tips and just our love of planting & growing food. I would highly recommend staying here for a relaxing place. Oh, 2 more things. Google Maps got us right to the gates. The patio off the kitchen & living room is a beautiful place to enjoy a glass of wine and watch sunset with a picturesque Italian farming view!

If you’re looking to get away from the bustling city as we were, this is your place! Paolo & Alba we’re the most welcoming hosts with a fresh pie, eggs, jam, and olive oil ready for us and were more than willing to accommodate as we needed. The house was exactly as described except they can’t put in to words the beauty of the hills it overlooks. The stars were amazing and we watched hot air balloons rise above the olive trees & fields of grapes in the morning The timing of the trip was not great for ease of transportation as there was a taxi strike but the train station was only an 8 minute drive and is only 2 stops from the main station in Florence. Next time we stay, we will be renting a car! I would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a central Tuscan spot to relax and recharge

Paolo and Alba were the most amazing hosts, they were super accomodating and their place was absolutely beautiful. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway in the Italian countryside.

If you like staying where Airplanes are landing at the Florence Airport while flying just 200 - 300 m over your heads. This is the ideal vacation spot for you! The Jet Airliners start landing by 8am and the last one lands around midnight, and sometimes thereafter. In the description of this Holiday Home they state that there is no city noise. I guess to a certain degree that is correct, But, the modern civilization noise of the landing Jet Aircaraft made it hard for us to cope. On the other hand, Paola and Alba are amazing and very nice host. I loved the frest eggs, and we loved the daily visits from the cats. All in all, this vacation/holiday home has everything you'd want or need. If it just wasn't for those damned disturbing Jet Airplanes and the noise they caused over our heads. The Catons

Our best holiday for ever. So great thanks to Alba and Paolo who were the most helpful, kind and lovely hosts. We feld ourselves at once very welcome. Every morning the loveliest fresh eggs, tomatoes, plums and Buio , the dog kind of cat, were waiting for us outside the door. We will never forget You. Next time we maybe should rent a little smaller car, because the Land Rover was too wide for the narrow roads in Toscany. Greetings from Finland ! Marja , Juha and Emil

The house is near by Florence but you are far away from loud streets or the like. From the terrace you have a breathtaking view on the Tuscany in the sunset. The house is very nice and comfortably furnished. Especially the kitchen. In addition, the air conditioning brings pleasantly cool nights in hot summer. We were greeted very nicely and spoiled with eggs from their own chickens and homemade jam and olive oil. Our stay couldn't have been better. We would have liked to stay longer and recommend a holiday in this beautiful house to all.

We had had great stay with Paolo and Alba. The house was immaculate and the eggs, jam and baked goods on arrival were very much appreciated. You really get the feeling of being in the country, but the city is just a 2.5 mile drive down the hill which makes this a great location to explore Tuscany. We highly recommend this property.

Our stay in this house started with a fantastic homemade jam, olive oil and eggs from the farm. I think that this is a calling card already for the house. Alba and Paolo met us and were very helpful. A very comfortable and spacious house at a quiet area. The house is exactly as described. The territory is big and green. We enjoyed the view of typical Tuscany landscape from the window. After visiting Florence sights we could relax at a calm and peaceful place. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the kitchen was very well equipped and new. We were impressed by the plants on the territory especially with the olive trees with fruits on it. We highly recommend the house because the location and the house are wonderful!
