There is also an outer staircase on the back of the hayloft, that connects upper and lower levels. Both bedrooms are airconditioned.The large shared pool (meters 15.50 X 7.00 X 1.25 ), treated with natural salt, not visible from the house and surrounded by vegetation, is open from May 15th to September 15th. Personal transportation is recommended.

This beautiful ancient Hayloft ,recently restored, is part of the “ Fattoria Il Leccio” lived and owned by the Passigli family for four generations. It sits on top of a hill overlooking the Valle del Mugnone,a gorgeous valley that offers panoramic views of gently slopping hills cultivated with well-tended olive groves as well as views of the town of Fiesole and the city of Florence. Giovanni Boccaccio in his 13th Century Decameron, locates some of his stories in this valley.
Public transportation, (bus and train) are available at the bottom of the hill in the village of Caldine. It is a 10/15 minute walk through the hilly bucolic countryside. The train, a 12 minute ride from the Fiesole /Caldine station to Santa Maria Novella station in the center of Florence, runs approximately every hour. The buses, a 30 minute ride, also take you into Florence. There is little public transportation after 8pm. Caldine has a supermarket as well as post office and bank. It also has doctor and ambulance service. Please contact us for further details.
There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a microwave. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Stunning Hayloft conversion, Andrea was the perfect host, always available if needed, with help explaining the best ways into Florence via bus or train. He also arranged a marvellous evening meal at Terrazza45 with the best table in the house with views over Florence. The Pool area is very secluded with salt water. As always when holidaying in Tuscany ensure you have plenty of Mosquito repellent as they do like to feed on you especially as the sun drops slightly. Although the Hayloft was mosquito free due to the mosquito nets on windows. I would highly recommend this property for rental

Tuscany villa

My family and I had a great time in the countryside at this beautiful villa. The advertisement is accurate. I would stay here again.

A dream come true in Tuscany.

The hayloft was so delightful - from the comfortable bedrooms with bathrooms, the quaint kitchen, living area, the outdoor courtyard for viewing the hillsides, and the whole setting. Andrea and Lorenzo were the nicest, very helpful. Andrea knows the area so well, he is a wealth of information for your visit. We were able to buy some of the olive oil they make right on the farm, and have it shipped home. We felt like family and had everything we needed. Florence is a short train ride from the village down the hill. Lots to do, it was a hilight of our trip!

Fabulous holiday

Just spent a week at Andrea`s super hayloft with my partner and our two children. The location was the perfect mix of Tuscan countryside hideaway, but close enough to be 20 minutes from Florence and 10 mins from Fiesole. Andrea was super helpful and the perfect host with lots of good advice, like driving to San Domenico to catch the No 7 bus into Florence (free parking in San Domenico !). We did drive into the main train station in Florence on one day but otherwise I would avoid town as its a bit manic and the bus runs every 20 mins and is super cheap. The pool is a little way from the accommodation, but a pleasant little walk through olive groves and you can pick and eat your own figs en route. The pool was always nice and clean. The haybarn was simple but clean and tidy and aircon very effective in the heat. Overall I would rate our stay as 10 / 10

Fantastic retreat

Fabulous stay at this countryside property, just a short drive from Florence. Quiet, very comfortable accommodation in the restored hayloft with a most obliging & friendly host. Attention to detail, regarding the property, was of a very high standard and we felt very much at home during our stay. A car is a must when staying here.

A beautiful farm with stunning views. The hayloft was very well appointed.

The location was excellent in the countryside but within 10 minutes of florence. Andrea and family could not have been friendlier or more helpful we highly recommend the accommodation and location.

A gem in the hills outside Florenze

We stayed at the Little farm-house (Family of 4) and it was simply perfect. A veiw over the Towns of Florence and Fiesole and everything you need, with an amazing pool and a lovingly restored old house (with air-con). The owner (Andrea) and his Family went above and beyond every day to ensure that we had all that we needed. The nicest people you are going to meet. All in all a fantstic location for our Holiday for 2 weeks. Would not change a thing - except perhaps to stay another 2 weeks perhaps. Thank you to Andrea and Family for making our vacation Unique.

Wohnen in der Nähe von Florenz

Das Objekt liegt verkehrstechnisch günstig in der Nähe von Florenz, Lebensmittel müssen allerdings mit dem Auto über eine recht beschwerlich Straße in die Ferienwohnung geschafft werden. Das Objekt ist schön gelegen, die Straßenverhältnisse sind sehr schwierig, auf die Gefährlichkeit der Straße sollte hingewiesen werden.

Gut ausgestattete Ferienwohnung mit tollem Ausblick.

Andrea war ein sehr netter und zuvorkommender Gastgeber. Von der Anfahrtsbeschreibung bis zu den Restaurantempfehlungen und Zugfahrplänen, hat er an alles gedacht, um den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und sehr gut gelegen, um Florenz zu erkunden. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen.
