About this property

Florentine Hills THE STAIRWAYS

Located on the beautiful Florentine hills just 15 km from the center of Florence
Part of a rural complex of 1600 has been completely renovated with great attention to detail and to safeguard the simple and refined elegance of the typical Tuscan house.

Positioned on top of a hill, among vineyards and olive groves, it can be reached via a country road, dirt road and a closed ground.

The apartment is about 120 square meters on two floors with a fully furnished patio in a simple and elegant and equipped with all comforts.
The ground floor consists of a large living room with fireplace used as a kitchen and living room
The patio-garden from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the sunset on the hills has a covered area with a table to eat al fresco surrounded by the scent of lavender and jasmine.

The upper floor includes 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms
A very large room with a double bed, a smaller bedroom with 2 single beds, which can also be used as a double, and a third bedroom with a double bed and a single bed.
A bathroom with a shower and one with a whirlpool bath and a shower.

The small village of San Vincenzo a Torri ada parte and Ginestra Fiorentina on the other side only 2 km away offer everything you need, food shops, bars, post office, pharmacy, trattoria.

The area has been famous for centuries for the production of ceramics, as can be seen in the archaeological museum of ceramics, in Montelupo, one of the most important in Europe.

Despite being in the open countryside, given the proximity to Florence, the highway to PISA, QUELLA PER SIENA and A1 MOTORWAY, the location is perfect for visiting all of Tuscany.
During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to Montegufoni Castle.
  • Free WiFi
  • Onsite recreation includes tennis courts

Great location for Florence and Tuscany travel
What a great vacation! The property is an authentic villa. Patricia can help you with any local needs you may have--from how to get into Florence with a vehicle, where to park in Florence and avoid the ZTL, to local grocery options, to great recommendations on local and authentic Tuscan restaurants. The property is an easy location to travel the regional hilltop villages

Spectacular setting offering peaceful tranquility!
We truly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous, peaceful, and spacious property. Patrizia is a gracious hostess who went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. She even made reservations for us at two amazing local restaurants. Her guidance on nearby wineries, shopping and touring were also incredibly helpful. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful experience
Lovely property only topped by the graciousness of our host, Patrizia. She gave advice, made reservations, made suggestions. She also shopped for breakfast items to stock before we got there…and also shopped for a couple things while there. And one day we came back to a large bowl of delicious hand-picked grapes. House is old but has everything we needed. Slept the five of us Nebraska ladies very comfortably. Kitchen is tiny but we just do breakfast, snack and warm up leftovers. We really enjoyed our time there.

Dream vacation in Tuscany with dear friends!
We just loved the location of this lovely VRBO, just south of Florence 35 minutes. We were up on a ridge with vineyards surrounding us and from our patio we were able to view spectacular sunsets! Our host Patricia was wonderful and was able to obtain dinner reservations at delicious and authentic Tuscan restaurants every evening of our stay! It was one of the highlightsof our trip and discerning tastebuds!

Right in the heart of Chianti region
Had a great stay. The property is lovely and great to relax, rejuvenate, we went for a nice walk through the countryside road and the views are fantastic. Patrizia is easy to get a hold of and very friendly. Always asked if we needed help with reservations, directions or anything. Lots of restaurants close by, our only issue was the language barrier with ordering but that was us and nothing to do with the locals. Place was very spacious for the 2 of us and easily had space for 4 others if families are looking for somewhere.

The villa was beautiful, and a great starting point to explore Florence, Chianti Road, Siena and Pisa. Patrizia welcomed us to the property with some fruit, cookies and wine, made dinner reservations for us, and was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing options!

Beautiful and peaceful
My husband, 10 year old daughter and I spent 4 wonderful nights at Patrizia’s apartment. It was beautiful! The gardens, outdoor dining area location and view were perfection. The inside was clean, and cozy with a spacious upstairs. The views from the bedroom windows were amazing. Patrizia is the sweetest, kindest host. She helped us many times with reservations and recommendations for dinner. Our favourite dinner of our trip was at the restaurant Patrizia recommended. Thank you so much! Hopefully we can come back again one day. If you’re considering staying here, do it!!

This property was amazing. A beautiful, charming, and quaint farmhouse overlooking the surrounding hills in Tuscany. Patrizia went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. She even offered to get some groceries in advance for us since we were arriving on a national holiday which we took her up on. A fantastic host in all respects. Thank you Patrizia!

Staying in Patrizia’s guest house was a true pleasure. She is the sweetest host and helped us so much with making reservations and answering any questions we had about the region and getting around.

Florence with family
The home is charming and cozy. Everything was perfect for our stay. Very clean. Plenty of space. I can’t say enough about the service that Patrizia offered. She goes above and beyond what’s expected. She filled our fridge before we arrived, offered suggestions for driving and booked reservations when needed. She was always kind and prompt. We will definitely recommend a stay here and hope to come back in the future. Grazie mille!!!

Little Gem just outside Florence
A charming and rustic villa just outside florence. The perfect blend of quintessential Tuscan countryside and a short car or tram ride into the city center of Florence. We took our 3 adult kids and enjoyed our time taking day trips to wineries, San Gimignano, and Volterra over our weeklong stay. I can’t say enough about Patrizia’s hospitality! She helped with lunch and dinner reservations any time we needed them and even booked salon services for a couple of us! She’s wonderful to work with! AC works well and provided in each bedroom. Beds are very comfortable and Patrizia provided all the amenities we needed including laundry detergent. The only thing I would caution is if you are looking to do some cooking other then light meals, the kitchen is very small and would make it hard to accommodate. We ate breakfast in, but other then that it was either take out or dining out. Thank you Patrizia, we hope to come back some day!

Amazed at how amazing it was!
This property is not in Sandicci, its just outside by a little village on a hill overlooking the valley with grape vines and olive trees and gardens...oh my word. An Patricia is a true hostess with an eye for design and creating a space that makes you want to relax and never leave. Comfortable gorgeous rooms, bathrooms are large and one has a soaking tub. Books and art surround you with a patio and outdoor table to relax and enjoy the scenery. Kitchen is very small so don't plan on making big meals, but perfect for a cup of coffee or making a simple meal. This one was our favorite of all the places we stayed and Patricia was fantastic. She was there when we needed her but never made us feel she was in the way or intrusive. I would say her description is not accurate because her pics do not do this place justice. Its stunning!

Great Host… Great Property!
I’m sure anyone who’s booked with VRBO (or any other online rental property company) has had some trepidation about what they saw online will align with what they actually see and experience. I’ve seen both sides of this myself. Well , I can assure you that Patrizia’s property is actually better in person! She is a friendly, accommodating and fantastic host and her property in Scandicci is wonderful. My family and I had a great time there and Patrizia was there to great us and make sure we were comfortable from the get-go. She let us know about the area and things to do and see. Just an amazing host and person. I can not recommend it enough!!!

Magical place, amazing host
This was part of a road trip through Italy with my sister. Patrizia is the kindest and most welcoming host - very concerned for our comfort and enjoyment. The home and area are absolutely breathtaking. The rolling hills and sunset from the patio are magical. The stars/moon and peace and quiet were so refreshing to the soul. House has everything you need - lovely dishes, travel info, supplies, closet space, luggage racks, bathrobes, wood for the wood-stove, cushions, extra blankets. The bed linens are top quality - soft and beautiful. Beds are super comfy, lots of pillows. The house has such amazing character - it is exactly what you want in a country stay. Beautiful wood beamed ceilings, skylights. Bathrooms are well equipped and modern. Washing machine and dryer for use. For accessing Florence, drive to the tram (20 min) and you are in the city in another 20 min. There is so much more to this area than just the city - wineries, olive groves, hiking, biking..... it was so wonderful to spend a day in Florence or in the surrounding areas and come home to peace and quiet, fresh air, beautiful skies and views all around. Thank you Patrizia for taking such wonderful care of us. We would love to come back some day!!!

Tuscan Charm
What an amazing stay we had. Upon arriving we where welcomed by Patrizia, a lovely warm fire, wine & fruit. We can’t say enough about this lovely villa. Charming, homey and rooms with views of the rolling hills of Tuscany. The grounds are lovely and lush even in late November which was a great surprise. Our trips to Florence, Volterra, San Gimignano and Siena where all memorable. Patrizia takes note of everything which made our stay perfect, ask her for any assistance and it’s done. I now have a new skill... building a fire thanks to the lesson graciously provided by our host, thank you.👍😀 Patrizia’s charm and friendliness made our stay complete.
