Customer Reviews

Overall:
We loved the villa! The location is excellent with a 5-minute commute into town, 30 minutes to Florence, and 30 minutes to Pisa. The villa is well furnished, very private, and located within a olive grove and vineyards.
Enjoyed Most:
The salt water pool was absolutely clean and perfect for the kids. We spent many nights after dinner playing in the pool.
Enjoyed Least:
Nothing!
Surrounding Area:
The towns of Limite e Capraia, Montelupo and Empoli are excellent small towns with good resources. Check with Francesco at the villa for the address of the gelateria in Montelupo - it is to die for!
Nearby Events or Locales:
Closest town is Limite e Capraia - could be walking distance but it is best to drive back and forth.
Tips or Restaurants:
Believe it or not, the town of Limite e Capraia has an excellent German restaurant called Lowengrube. This is a must!
Directions:
We used GPS to get to the villa. The turn onto the road to the villa in Limite e Capraia is not well identified - without GPS we would have missed it. It is good to know that the road from Limite e Capraia to the villa is essentially 1 lane and turns from a paved road to a dirt road.
Check In Out:
Check in and check out went flawlessly. Francesco and Eva were excellent hosts!
