Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home caught our eye for its location, nestled in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, yet only 7 kilometres from Florence. While the swimming pool here is shared with other guests, you’ve got a private garden to enjoy, complete with countryside views, loungers, and an alfresco dining area. Inside is well set up for a couple or small family but may feel a little snug at full occupancy, when two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.
