Beautiful Property
Villa Giotta was the perfect spot for our family trip. We stayed for 7 nights with 8 adults and 2 children. Lorenzo was very attentive to our needs and very helpful in finding transportation when we wanted to go as a group to Sienna. He also arranged a cooking class at the Villa which was a highlight for our trip. The property exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful inside and out. The pool was clean and the gardens were gorgeous. We were a 20 minute bus ride from Florence with a bus stop just a short walk away. There was a market just 15 minutes from us which was very convenient as we went several times. Thank you to Lorenzo and his Mother for helping to make this wonderful family trip!

Lovely villa
Lorenzo, our host, was the most helpful and communicative person. We had another VRBO cancel on our group of 8 people 6 days before arriving in Florence. The villa is so so spacious with gathering rooms and dining in multiple locations. Note that a car is recommended as this is quite far from Florence. Though there is a bus it doesn’t run regularly all day. Taxis can add up. You can’t walk on these back roads either. That said our hosts made us feel so welcome. We arrived later in eve than expected and they met us warmly, made dinner reservations and drove us to the ristorante. It was an amazing dinner!
Note that the bedroom upstairs is huge but no bath up there and no mirror . But view was gorgeous from that room. Water pressure and heat need to be managed for a group. We staggered showers to keep water warm. Pressure- not good but again we managed.
The home is relaxing and we appreciated the host’s attention to our needs and questions. Grazie Lorenzo!
