Sud

Quiet nights were really welcome after day trips. Kitchen gear worked fine for quick meals too.

Sun loungers by the pool made lazy afternoons easy and relaxing.

Bed was comfortable, slept well every night. Check-in process was quick and straightforward.

The room was cozy and had all the essentials. Spent afternoons cycling nearby and enjoyed using the loggia’s wood oven for homemade pizza. It was lovely to have fresh olive oil and jam from the farm.

Fresh fruit from the garden felt like a small treat every morning!

Experience life the Italian way, in a top location in the triangle of Siena, Arezzo and Firenze. A beautiful authentic Tuscan country house fully equipped, a choice of different living areas and plenty of space to sit outside. A great swimming pool to cool off or to enjoy the sun on one of the sun loungers. A small shop with wine (red and white) and olive oil from the house complete the Tuscan experience.

Not recommended for those looking for organized and noisy holidays. the noise is absent, the panorama is boundless, the sunsets are majestic. The apartments are created in this ancient house, ancient things, ancient atmospheres that you breathe: with its pros and cons. The attentive but reserved landlord: as soon as you have a curiosity or a need, he is present with an uncommon kindness, then you have the opportunity to experience the continuous activity of the farmers of the farm up close: the land offers an oil with a fruity fragrance and intense, wine, vinegar. People to get to know and who make you understand the love for this wonderful ancient land. The surroundings are a constant surprise: a few kilometers away the Romanesque is at its best; an example for all is the parish church of San Pietro in Gropina. If you are looking for fun go elsewhere; if you are looking for Tuscany come here.

Great place. Special house with a lot of history. Breathtaking view. Managers very friendly and caring. Very nice to stay here. Only drawback were the stinging mosquitoes. Seems to belong to the season (September)

A paradise .... A breathtaking view day and night The feet of the grassThe extra poolExceptional kindness

Nice authentic location, beautiful view.

The accommodation is not overly luxurious, but the atmosphere and surroundings compensate that amply. You live temporarily in a few hundred years of history and the owner knows proudly about it. And .., .. in summer the thick walls keep the spacious house cool. There is rural peace on the mountain. Accessibility of the big cities is fine via the station of Figline via Florence Rome is 1.5 hours away.

Immediately after arrival, a tour was given by the owner. Beautiful old farm! Very friendly welcome. Owner gives a lot of tips on the surroundings. Delicious tomatoes, cucumber from their own garden. He regularly brought fresh fruit. From the house a beautiful view towards the villages in the valley.

After a great climb up we arrived full of olive trees on a beautiful estate. If you want to Tuscany you can find him here. The owner Vanni is a wonderful man who told lovingly about his farm and environment. Truly a must!

The road to the authentic 14th century house is an exciting tocht.Het house is decorated with furniture that fit the house, but to modern times (dishwasher) is also expected. Vanni is a hospitable landlord, who arranged fruit, vegetables and tips will bring / come up. Just a pity that the Wifi / internet did not meet our requirements.

A fantastic view from the apartment. The owner Vanni happy to give a tour and talks proudly about the history of its buildings and furniture. Every morning he brought us fruit and vegetables from his own garden. People who truly seek peace should wait a few years with books, the grandchildren of Vanni are old enough and probably produce less noise. We have not disturbed us, but I can imagine that this is different if you are looking for real peace. The road to the apartment is paved, but not suitable for people with vertigo. Tuscany is beautiful and from the apartment we visited many cities. From the apartment you at least two hours on the road before you can visit. Tourist places Figline a large supermarket Coop. On Saturday incredibly busy. Open even on Sundays.

We stayed in 'Sud', part of the original house, which dates back to the 13th century. From our windows and the terrace outside our house, there are the most amazing views across the Arno valley, although the drive up the winding road from Castelfranco is not for the faint-hearted. Inside, the rooms are full of old furniture, fittings and pictures, so if you want a taste of the old Italy, this place is for you. The house is at the end of a road (last bit dirt), so there is no passing traffic. The daily sound of the bee-eaters flying over, or the gentle buzz of the humming-bird hawk moths (day &amp night) are the only sounds to disturb. There is a small swimming pool which is great for cooling off in during the heat of the day it also has fantastic views across the valley. The host is very welcoming and will give you a tour of the ancient house at the drop of a hat. If you want to get to any of the city attractions (Florence, Siena etc.) they all involve a drive of an hour or more. There are several interesting villages and small towns much closer, especially if you are interested in churches and their associated art. This venue is definitely for people who want to 'get away from it all.'

Very warm welcome, Rita is fantastic. Because the house is situated on a hill, it "s very quiet. Also it is less hot. Belvedere is an ideal place to visit Tuscany Siena, Florence, Arrezo, San Gimignano. You can buy wine, very fine olive oil and honey. And let 's not forget the "vin santo"! The Sud apartment is spacious and basic. For us (parents and 4 children) it was very good. After all, we spent all day outdoors. There you have a nice view over the valley. Nice pool. Tip visit Florence by train. There is an in Figline railway station, 20 minutes from Belvedere. We did that and were absolutely happy 30 minutes in the train, a ten minutes walk and you "re standing in front of the Duomo!

The ancient villa is spacious and nice and cool inside, even when the outside temperature rises. Very pleasant reception.

The decor is "traditional " very sober. But certainly not pressed the fun. Very nice vacation with culture, dining pleasure and beautiful environments. Quality time.
