    A beautiful old stone farmhouse nestled in the countryside. Amenities are 20-mins drive away. A quiet and peaceful setting.

    We stayed at Francos estate for at week and loved every minute. Everything is in place, in abundance and Franco was very helpful in giving hints and recommendations of venues and dining. The house is very big, and offers more than promised in the pictures. The garden is full of lush flowers (in mid July), and the pool area is private with a wonderful view of the hills. We give our best recommendations to this place :-)

    We (5 friends 30-35yo) really enjoyed our stay at Franco and Emily’s place. The villa was big (way more than we tough) and the yard even more. The communication with Franco and Emily was really smooth. Our favorite thing was the outside kitchen! The view is stunning. Thank you so much Franco and Emily :)

    A group of 7 of us stayed at Francis property for a week. The place was a fantastic hub for visiting vineyards, Florence, Pisa and all other touristy bits you may like to do. Sadly the weather was not on our side so we did not get to use the pool or garden as much as we would like, but there was plenty of other things to keep us busy. Franco was excellent with the check in and checkout process, being very flexible and accommodating. Thanks once again ?

    Me and my sons had a wonderful week here. We were made very welcome and the whole property was shown and explained to us in detail. Everything in the house worked fine. The pool, which was the most important place in this ultra-hot summer, was also great. The pool pump was exaktly adjusted, the pool was always clean, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Perfect: the outdoor fridge right by the pool! Also very attentive: everything I usually forget on a self-catering holiday was there! (salt, tabs for the dishwasher, coffee capsules, etc.) There were even some cold drinks and fresh milk in the fridge for us when we arrived. Thanks for that! What else to say? The house is well protected against mosquitoes on all windows. Despite the extreme heat, the nights were bearable because the house stays reasonably cool and there was a fan for each bedroom. Regarding criticism from previous guests: Yes, you can hear the racetrack. But more like a distant road. it didn't bother us and despite racing on the Track, I slept wonderfully in the shade under the old olive trees. And yes, the neighbors' dog sometimes barks. It's just a dog that guards the neighbors' yard. At night he was quiet. Didn't bother us. By the way: The neighbors were very nice and put the rubbish out on the street for us. Summary: If you want to enjoy a nice stay in the Tuscan countryside, with a pool, sun or shade under old olive trees with a magnificent view of valleys and hills, this is the place for you. You'll even get some insider tips for local shops and restaurants from Emily and Franco. But you shouldn't be afraid of country life and nature, because we had some animal encounters in the garden. The old mill might not be as perfect and practical as a modern hotel. (Tall people have to duck their heads at the door frames) But everything here has been prepared with a lot of charm and even more love. It is reminiscent of an old property with modern conveniences. For us, it was perfect.

    The check in and out process was very smooth. Even though our flight was delayed they met us late at the house. So much space and a bathroom for every bedroom, amazing place for three families.
