Maison de campagne sur une colline à un jet de pierre de Florence

Es ist ein Objekt, wo man sich sehr gut erholen kann und die

herrliche Landschaft genießen kann. Wir haben uns sehr gut

aufgehoben gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Vielen lieben Dank für die nette Gastfreundschaft.

We were fortunate to have chosen to stay in L’Acetaia. Originally a building from the 1400’s in which vinegar was stored, Julian and Anna have converted it to a comfortable apartment with every amenity. It exceeded our expectations. From the time of our arrival, we were treated as family. They offered advice on tours, places to visit, shop and dine. They are both very knowledgeable about the history of the area and we appreciated the time they spent with us.

We rented a car in Florence and had no problem finding the property. As you drive in, park, then walk through the gates, you enter a world where you can escape and leave your hectic lifestyle behind. It is centrally located, a short drive to Florence and a good starting point to explore all Tuscany has to offer.

Julian and Anna put their heart and soul into their property and it shows! We are thankful we had the opportunity to share in it and spend a wonderful week there.

We only stayed for three nights, but we really thoroughly enjoyed this home away from home Julian and Anna offered us. We had a nice private terrace, the sleepingroom was cosy and in the appartment everything needed, was available. Florence was within reach with the tramvia. The house is in a valley in between cypresses and olive trees and the dogs Poppy and Alma were very friendly. We certainly do come back!

L'Acetaia is a charming farmland setting and offers amazing views across the valley. Watching the sunrise against the beautiful backdrop of the hills is definitely worth an early rise. The secluded village location offers a perfect retreat whether you want to retire peacefully after a busy day or prefer to be laid back and spend the day relishing its idyllic setting.

The tram station at Villa Costanza is just 10 minutes’ drive. There is frequent train services that will take you into central Florence in 20 minutes. Our Florence Card plus purchase was worth the investment as it covered the tram fare and kids access to attractions. We managed to visit several famous museums and cathedrals over the three days we spent in the historic city.

Other major attractions like Sienna, Val D’Orcia, San Gimignano, Volterra etc. are also at easy reach by car.

The self-contained unit has all the comforts and conveniences that you would require to be ‘at home’. With two full shower rooms and a fully equipped kitchen, getting ready for the day’s outing was always smooth.

The real highlight of our stay was our kind, charming and lovable hosts Julian & Anna. Had it not been for them, we would have been stranded for hours during night when our rented car broke down during our journey from the airport and we couldn’t even get past the emergency helpline’s automated system. Without sharing further details, we can confidently say that anyone who signs up with Julian and Anna are guaranteed to be in safe and knowledgeable hands. Our only regret is that we weren’t able to join them for the olive gathering and pressing as we were pressed for time. The time we spent together with Julian and Anna will remain close to our heart and we look forward to meeting them again.

Nach zwei Wochen auf Elba blieben noch ein paar Tage für die Toskana. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von Julia und Anna und ihren beiden Hunden empfangen, auch unser eigener Hund freundete sich rasch an. Die Ausstattung der Ferienwohnung liess keine Wünsche offen, Frühstück auf der Terrasse und Abhängen in der Hängematte bei angenehmer Ruhe. Kleine Wanderungen in der Umgebung und ein abendlicher Besuch in Florenz waren einfach möglich.

Kurzum: wir fühlten uns richtig wohl und wären gerne länger geblieben.
