Wonderful stay in beautiful setting. Central location for day trips to San Gimignano, Lucca, Siena, Florence and Pisa. And pool was refreshing bonus after returning.
My family and I loved staying at this charming home for 8 nights. It was very clean, nicely decorated, and well equipped. The grounds are lush and well maintained, and the view from the back patio was gorgeous. And of course it was convenient to Florence, Siena, and many quaint villages. Diana was an attentive host and very patient with all of our questions. If you are looking for an authentic Tuscan countryside experience, you cannot go wrong staying at this property. My family and I have taken away unforgettable memories and would love to return one day. I also highly recommend the restaurant Fiore, which is just a 5-min drive. Wonderful service, delicious food, and beautiful outdoor seating area. You must try the wine they produce there as well!
We had a wonderful 5-day stay in this charming old home overlooking the beautiful Tuscan hills. The house is spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed having breakfast and coffee in the small patio outside and occasionally we cooked in the well-equipped kitchen. The upstairs bedrooms are large and comfortable and have AC. The location is excellent for exploring Tuscany; we did day trips to Florence, Pisa, Greve and other towns and villages in the area. And it was always good to come back to the cool and comfortable house at the end of the day. Diana is a lovely host, very kind and helpful. Thank you, Diana.
Property was well equipped with large rooms and plenty of bathrooms/toilets.
It was very hot during our stay (38 most days) so the pool
Was very welcome
Spacious house with air conditioning in the bedrooms. Everything we needed was available to us. There is a big book that the owner has put together that was very useful for restaurant recommendations. Bring bug spray as the mosquitos loved us. Overall great stay!
We had a nice stay at this charming Tuscan home. We wanted to stay in an older farm house which comes with pros (location, views, pool) and cons (small bathrooms, a/c in bedrooms only). We easily took trams into Florence explored nearby towns/cities as well. Car rental is a must! The host, Diana, was lovely and wanted to make sure her guests had an enjoyable experience.
Very well equipped and clean old farm house with lovely furniture. Diana was most helpful with everything and answered all our many questions with patience :-) we also loved the many cats and dogs living in the neighborhood. For reaching Florence, there is even a bus going to Scandicci from where you easily take the tram to Florence. Most convenient if you prefer to go without car. Supermarkets are reachable by car only, but in about 20 min distance. We very much enjoyed our stay!
Truly enjoyed our quiet stay in the Tuscan countryside. This property is what you envision when you think of rolling hills, olive trees and true Tuscan living. The house is a little off the beaten path but well worth the drive.
Diana and Gianfranco are wonderful hosts. The check-in process went smoothly and Diana came to personally greet us and make sure we had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the bottle of wine, which was a welcome surprise.
If you are looking for a nice, quiet and relaxing place to enjoy your visit to Tuscany - this place is for you! Modern conveniences in a well preserved original farmhouse.
Many thanks to Diana and Gianfranco. If you book this place, we hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
We very much enjoyed our 5-day stay in Diana's villa. This property is an actual farmhouse with all the charm of an old mansion, but with all the modern amenities to make your stay very comfortable. The house itself is very spacious with a proper living room and a large kitchen with a dining table in the middle and equipped with everything you would need should you want to cook some meals there (as we did). The view from the house is incredible and the pool was very useful as we were here during a heatwave in August. Diana is a very gracious and caring host, which made our experience of staying here a pleasure. Florence is very easily accessible thanks to the Tramvia nearby. Be sure to visit San Gimignano and Siena nearby to get a taste of gorgeous medieval towns of Tuscany. Highly recommended!!!
Set inthe Tuscan hills outside of Florence this rustic and charming farmhouse was everything we had hoped for and better. We arrived in August when they were experiencing high temperatures in the late 30 degrees. Diana the amazing owner had left bottles of wine for us and met us after arrival. The house was perfect for us all and a huge plus was it had air conditioning which was necessary in these temperatures. We had a week here and most days did day trips to towns in the area.(Lucca, Siena ,San Gimignano Florence etc) It was fabulous to be able to come home and swim and relax by the large pool and chat with the lovely other guest family. In the evenings we ate out at the amazing restaurant 5 mins up the road (Fleuris) or cooked in the well equipped kitchen . Overall a beautiful place and area to stay in . Thankyou Diana for everything.
Quaint cottage in amazing location in the Tuscan hills!
Diana is a wonderful host. She tended to all our needs and inquiries promptly. Beyond the information book that she put together for her guests she gave recommendations for restaurants and local information.
Diana opened the pool for us and we were able to enjoy all the sunny days at the gorgeous pool area overlooking the Tuscan and hills and olive groves.
The house is quaint and Rustic with a fabulous large fireplace in the living..we made a fire every night..Wonderful!
We cooked lovely meals and had our breakfast coffee in the small patio..which leads down to the groves and giant aloe bushes.
Just be aware that downstairs ensuiite bed/bathroom is small.
The house is charming and a bit small and be aware (for older folks) that the 2 other bedrooms require Going up a flight of stairs.
One upstairs bedroom is ensuiit.
The location is Outstanding!
Tucked in the Tuscan hillsides with b
Rustic traditional farmhouse experience with beautiful pool in the heart of Tuscany surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Great restaurants nearby, convenient for Florence and Tuscany beyond
Gorgeous views, several truly great restaurants surprisingly close by, locally-produced wines, cheeses, salumi, prosciutto, truffles, castles, cathedrals, monasteries, museums all within easy reach, a wonderful old-school kitchen, comfortable livingroom, patio, walks, we loved it. It has a few quirks, but that's what you get in a historic building. The charm more than makes up for any little inconveniences and Diana was nothing short of wonderful.
Diana is een zeer goede gastvrouw die er alles aan doet om het je naar de zin te maken,komt geregeld even vragen of alles goed is.
Bedden zijn super goed , huis is prima maar gedateerd.
Zwembad heerlijk om af te koelen.
De omgeving is mooi, maar niet echt een dorpje in de nabijheid waar je gezellig wat kan drinken of wat winkeltjes heeft.
Classic Tuscan farmhouse with great pool. We had a lovely stay.
Worth noting that a car is required as, particularly throughbheight of summer, the local town/village is not walkable (25min walk). The tram to Florence is a 15min drive from the house.
All specs were fulfilled. ,..nice pool, aircon, dogs allowed, great stay to visit Firenze (Metro from Scandicci), chill at pool or visit restaurants close by. Kitchen was well equipped and owner super helpful.
We stayed in this typical tuscan farmhouse for 5 days. It's a perfect place to relax but at the same time it's in a strategic position to visit all the major cities and the smaller towns in the countryside. Diana is a wonderful owner, kind and helpful for every request. We would definitely visit Pecciolino again.
Van 17 tot 27 juli hebben we met 5 personen in Pecciolino gelogeerd. Een heerlijke en prachtige plek om tot rust te komen maar ook om de grote steden, en in ons geval vooral de kleinere steden en dorpjes te ontdekken. De omgeving is prachtig. Het huis is comfortabel en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het zwembad is onmisbaar in deze warme periode. De gastvrouw Diana is bijzonder aardig en vriendelijk. Altijd behulpzaam en reageert snel op vragen die er waren en geeft goede tips voor de omgeving. We raden deze plek aan iedereen aan, of je nu een luie vakantie wil en veel bij het zwembad wil liggen of de omgeving en prachtige steden wil bezoeken, het maakt niet uit. Pecciolino is de perfecte plek om te verblijven. We komen graag een keer terug! Dank voor je goede zorgen Diana!
This farmhouse/villa is simply superb. The location is idyllic - close to the city, but far enough removed to give it a real Tuscan feel. Diana is gracious, informative, and helpful. Our family loved our time here.
My family stayed in Diana's house for a week during the heat wave of the decade. Diana met us the evening of our first day and answered all of our questions. The wealth of information provided by her (and the binder) was indispensable. The stone house managed to stay relatively cool downstairs without AC. Of course we all enjoyed the pool every day. Will definitely recommend this place to others!
