Luxury Villa with large pool close to Florence

We had a wonderful stay. Fonsy and Enzo were excellent hosts and are very nice people. Fonsy cooked dinner for us every evening and breakfast every morning of our stay, and everything was so delicious!! The property and the views are beautiful. Communication was easy before and during our stay. We were there in October so the pool was closed as it was too cold. Location was perfect for day trips to Montepulciano, Siena, San Gimignano and Lucca. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return again.

The accommodation was perfect for our 3 generation family group. We loved the quiet location of this historic home. The views from the apartment are stunning. The flower filled gardens are beautiful and we all enjoyed the pool and shady seating areas around it.Fonzy and Enzo are excellent welcoming hosts and we would definitely recommend having some of Fonzy’s delicious dinners.The villa is accessed by a long and bumpy track but it is well worth taking it to stay in this beautiful holiday home.Thank you Fonzy and Enzo!

The property was absolutely incredible! The grounds are gorgeous, and the views from every room in the villa are just breathtaking. It’s so peaceful and relaxing, you won’t find anywhere else like it. When we walked through the gates, we were instantly transported to a place of calm and tranquility. Checking in with Fonzi and Enzo was a breeze - they were the most friendly and helpful people. They’re now like family to us! Fonzi was an absolute pro at communicating, and let me tell you, the Tuscan meals she cooked for our family were absolutely delicious - they were all buonissimo! The house was perfect, and the location couldn’t be better. We’ll definitely be back in a heartbeat! We miss you, Fonzi and Enzo! Arrivederci.

Il Faeto is truly a magical villa!!! The views are absolutely breathtaking, the home and property immaculately maintained, and the rooms warm and comforting with plenty of space for our party of family and friends. However it is Fonsy and Enzo who really made our stay magical and welcomed us like family from the moment we arrived. Fonsy’s meals were spectacular and far superior to anywhere else we ate!!! Thank you Fonsy and Enzo for your hospitality and we will see you again!!!

Beautiful, historic villa with a fantastic view of the valley below. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and entertaining as well. The icing on the cake was Fonsi's providing breakfast and cooking dinners as requested. Her chef skills were more than we could ask for.

This villa is spectacular. Panoramic views are breathtaking. The villa is beautiful and perfectly maintained. The pool was great. Best of all the hosts live there as well. They are wonderful people. So helpful and friendly. Fonsy is a Fantastic chef who prepared outstanding meals for our family. Our stay was perfect. I had dreamed of renting a villa for many years. This was even better than I could have dreamed. Definitely recommend Il Faeto to live your Tuscan dream. Our three generations of family all agree.

This was our second stay at Il Faeto, a beautiful property located in the hills south of Florence overlooking a wonderful valley below. The temperature is cooler than Florence and the pool is very relaxing with many sun shelters around the pool deck. The property is superbly maintained and beautiful. Prior to arriving we had made several dinner reservations in Florence and a few of the villages but after having dinner prepared by the host (Fonzi) our first evening we scrapped all those plans and chose to eat at the house around 8pm each night. The food was beyond amazing. It was terrific to discuss with her each morning what she would prepare. Then we all ate the same outstanding meal and enjoyed nice wine. It was so much better than going to a restaurant. We stayed at the house a few days but when we travelled into Florence or out to the villages, it was great to know dinner would be ready at 8pm. We also enjoyed her breakfast a few mornings during our week long stay. Also, you want to ask her about basil.

Fonzi and Enzo are the most delightful hosts! We had a wonderful stay- it was out of a dream! We ate every breakfast and dinner every day while on property. The home was immaculate and plenty of space - we didn’t use all the space available. We will be back!

The property is stunning and the warmth of Enzo and Fonzy was incredible. We had 11 family and friends stay on the property comfortably. The rooms are lovely and everyone was happy with their space. We arranged for a welcome dinner and breakfast that was delicious. The hospitality was special. After we were able to go the market and make food from our kitchen. This was a nice convenience. We were able to come and go easily from the property with our rental cars. Rental cars are a must as the drive into town is long. The local store is limited but the neighboring store was plentiful. The drive to other locations was easy: Florence, Luca, Pisa We would love to return in the summer and experience this wonderful location then!

Our family of 8 feels so incredibly lucky to have found Il Faeto and the two amazing people who own the house, Fonsi and Enzo. We came here after a 5 day stay in Rome and it was like entering a private oasis in another world. The property is located high up a hill in the country side, about 45 minutes outside of Florence. And the drive to the property is breathtaking. When we arrived, we were greeted by Fonsi and Enzo, who live on the property. Meeting them was like meeting family. Their warmth and kindness could be felt the moment we stepped out of the car. Based on the reviews, we arranged with Tommaso, their excellent property manager, to have dinner cooked the first night at the house. I was able to coordinate dietary restrictions/needs for myself and others in the group which Fonsi payed close attention to. When we arrived to the dining room, the table was set as if we walked into a private restaurant. After the first course of the 4 course meal…spaghetti with Fonsi’s homemade tomato sauce, we made the decision to eat there every night and breakfast every morning. Best decision of the trip. Better than any restaurant food we had and Fonsi will coordinate every course of the menu to your liking. You will leave dreaming of her food. It is THAT good. Fonsi and Enzo took care of us like family and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I wish I could write more. We will cherish the time we had with them at Il Faeto. It was truly spectacular and perfect.
