Nipitella House in the countryside

Avoid this property — serious maintenance, odor, and moisture problems that were never resolved.We stayed at this property for 63 days and, unfortunately, cannot recommend it. From the first week, we experienced strong sewer-gas odors in both the kitchen and bathroom that never went away. We repeatedly informed the host, but her only solution was pouring baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water down the drains. No plumber was ever called, nor was the gas professionally tested, despite our concerns for safety.The apartment was advertised as “completely renovated,” but this was not our experience. One kitchen cabinet had a severe mildew smell—so strong the host avoided storing anything in it. The entire home felt damp throughout our stay; our clothes wouldn’t dry, the sheets and towels were always moist, and we later realized this may have been caused by a hidden roof leak.Twelve days before checkout, we finally saw water pouring down the bedroom wall during a storm. When we contacted the host, her first response was, “When it rains that hard sometimes that happens,” indicating she already knew about the leak. This was extremely concerning and inconsistent with the listing.The listing also described the apartment as “silent,” yet it sits directly under the airport landing path. Airplanes passed loudly overhead until almost midnight every night.Future guests should be aware of these health, safety, and accuracy concerns before booking.

A beautiful staying in the Colli Fiorentini. The house is large, comfortable and has everything you need, including a dishwashing machine. The host is super careful and helpful. The place is silent and relaxing.We had an incredible experience at night, walking among the olive trees with fireflies all around. Magic Tuscany!

For us it was a great location. We started our trip in the heart of Florence and this was such a nice break from the hustle and bustle. Very peaceful.Great communication.

Beautiful rustic holiday apartment in an impressive landscape surrounded by olive groves near Florence. Everything is available that is needed. Friendly landlady

Great

Beautiful stay in a cute party of Italy but we only really slept there because we were so busy. Very comfortable beds and a big bathroom. The owners were very friendly and helpful- a perfect spot!

The host is kind and friendly, and the apartment is beautiful, especially if you are looking for a rustic, idyllic Tuscan experience. The location is just outside of Florence and the view is breathtaking. We really enjoyed our stay.

Large, well-maintained apartment close to the train station which is just two stops from downtown Florence. This apartment is not easy to find because it an remote country area. But that is part of its charm. It is quiet and the building has beautiful view of the Tuscan countryside--although the upstairs apartment which we occupied did not have a particularly outstanding view. The apartment has all modern amenities although the building itself is rustic. The stone stairs to the apartment are very steep which presented some difficulty for my husband who has bad knees. If we were to rent from the property owners again, we would request one of the downstairs apartments. The owners, Christina and her daughter, Maria Theresa, were very welcoming and could not be more helpful. One night when we missed the last train from Florence, we were somewhat panicked so we called them and they advised us about what to do. Christina also supplied us with a well stocked pantry for our stay which was very much appreciated. Christina also supplied us with restaurant recommendations. One of these, Taglieri and Bicchieri, was so good that we ate there 3 times out of 4 nights. It was, by far, the best food we had in Italy. thank you, Christina, for a wonderful vacation in Florence.
