Casa Farsetti - Exclusive villa with private pool between Siena and Florence

The place is nice but could definitely do with air con adding. Also worth noting that although the house is very private and exclusively for your use, the owners live on the same property in another building, this was not really clear on the descriptions etc. However they did not intrude on our privacy at all and we still had a good holiday

Wonderful 18th century villa, with farm kitchen. Cooked and cooked, ate and ate.

Not only was the place absolutely wonderful but our host Virginia made it a trip of a lifetime. She helped us with all the planning and made sure our stay was perfect. Every single detail - from breakfast to all the experience - was very well thought through. We will definitely be back!

This property is in beautiful location with wonderful views. The outdoor spaces are terrific as is the pool. Our hosts were great. They responded quickly to every request or concern, even providing us with a barbecue grill! It was easy to navigate throughout Tuscany, including Florence and Siena and the neighboring hill towns. The house is very old and the kitchen and bathrooms have been modernized. There are about 30 stairs from the bottom floor to the top floor where the bedrooms are. They were difficult to navigate for the older people in our group and dangerous for our toddler. It was predictably hot when we were there in August and there is no air-conditioning other than fans. The pool offered wonderful relief!

A true hidden gem outside of Firenze. Old but very charming building in a beautiful scenery!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Farsetti. The highlight for us is the villa's outdoor spaces, including a gorgeous view of the valley, a comfortable shaded patio, a wonderful swimming pool, and many fruit trees around the property. The villa itself was very comfortable. It is large, with four bedrooms on the third floor, numerous living spaces, and a modern kitchen. The villa is VERY old, but carries with it historic charm. We stayed during an intense heat wave (over 100 degrees F nearly every day) but managed to stay comfortable at night despite no AC with fans and open windows. That said, travelers with toddlers or elderly members should exercise caution with the stairs. Maybe the best part of all was our gracious hosts, Andrea and Virginia. They greeted us upon arrival, gave recommendations, prepared us a wonderful Florentine steak dinner with a view on our first night, and saw us off when we departed. They were charming and helpful. We loved our time at Casa Farsetti and would return if we were to make our way back to Tuscany.

Anyone up for an authentic country visit to a house steeped in history (including ancient steep stairways and open fireplaces) will appreciate this property. Renovated with an artsy vibe, wonderful pool, bug-screens to keep out the mosquitoes - just beware that modern luxury (airconditioning, polished hardwood floors) should not be expected. Mix with locals at the market in Castelfiorentino on Saturdays- fresh produce alongside household Knick-Knacks and boho clothing! Thank you to our host Andrea

The house is charming, the pool is awesome, the location is in a good spot to discover Siena, Pisa, Florence and the coast - everything is just an hour away by car. Andrea is a super friendly and helpful host. We were looking for a relaxed vacation to recharge our batteries. This was the perfect vacation for this purpose.

We had a fantastic stay, the house has so much character and charm, and we really felt at home. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen, chilling out in the lovely pool, which has the most amazing views of the Tuscan countryside, and using the house as a base for fantastic day trips to towns like Volterra, Sienna or Lucca. Andrea was really easy to communicate with and was extremely helpful when one of our family members was ill. Highly recommend staying here!

good location, pleasant house with large kitchen and large green compound with a very nice swimming pool. The owner, Andrea, was most willing to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
