Summary: The villa is in a beautiful location in the countryside but still close to shops and Florence can be easily reached in about 15 minutes by car.The house is very clean and very well furnished in typical Tuscan style, with some very fine furnishings that we would not have expected to find in a holiday home.The kitchen is very spacious and equipped with everything we needed, the living area is very large and we really appreciated the pool table.The rooms are also very large and very nice.As we came in winter unfortunately we couldn't use the swimming pool, but this could be an excuse to come back in summer too...Last but not least, Andrea was a great host and gave us great support in organizing our whole holiday.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Summary: We were a group of 10 people and the villa was perfect for us. From the beautiful garden and the great pool you have a unique view. The house is charming, with antique furniture, tile floors, and beautiful views, the bedrooms are very large, much more than it seems from the photographs. We found the house perfectly clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need. You can sit down to eat in the kitchen and living room as well as in the patio with many people around the table. Thank you Andrea for your friendly hospitality and for always being in touch! We had a great time and I will highly recommend to others that we know and we will likely be back!

Summary: My family and I had an excellent stay at Gaia & Andrea’s villa. The communication was very easy before the arrival and Dafina was very helpful giving us all information we needed to find restaurant and groceries. The gardens and pool are beautiful. The house is very clean and well maintained and had everything we needed for a great stay. The bedrooms are all huge and perfect for accommodating our large family, the kitchen is well stocked, the lounges and dining room have beautiful typical decor and we really enjoyed the pool table. We also really appreciated the location of the house nestled in the beautiful Tuscan countryside but at the same time making it possible to reach the center of Florence in only 25 minutes. Thank you and we hope to return.

Summary: With my family and some friends I have stayed at Gaia and Andrea's villa several times in past years during the summer and this year I used it as accommodation with some work colleagues in January during Pitti fashion week. On each occasion we enjoyed the house which was always perfectly clean and well maintained. During the summer we particularly enjoyed the beautiful swimming pool and the garden, which also has some pleasant shaded areas where find some coolness during the hottest days. During the winter we particularly enjoyed the spacious kitchen, living rooms and bedrooms. It is always a pleasure to return to what I now consider almost like a second home at an unbeatable value for money

Summary: Fantastic holiday in a beautiful villa.The property was fully equipped, well maintained and the big house was very well planned for a large family where everyone got their own space. Big rooms and very clean. Short drive to Florence. Everything was very clean. It actually looks far bigger and nicer than on the pictures. Fantastic pool, large. Thank you!

Summary: I have been going on holiday to Tuscany for many years and I like to change places each time. I can say that for the first time I found in La Merlaia everything I expect to find in a Tuscan country house. It is in a wonderful location surrounded by hills and olive trees and at the same time not too isolated. It is within walking distance of San Donato in Collina where you can find 2 food shops and a butcher's shop. Two large supermarkets can be reached in 10 minutes by car and Florence, with all its splendid monuments, can be reached in not even 20 minutes by car or even by bus. The house is very large and retains the taste of old Tuscan farmhouses. There are many valuable paintings and beautiful original 18th and 19th century furnishings inside. There is no luxury, but everything is nevertheless well maintained and perfectly clean. The bedrooms are very large and the kitchen is fully equipped. The swimming pool is always in a sunny position and very clean. Communication with Andrea before arrival was excellent and Dafina gave us all the assistance we needed during our stay.

Summary: I would say that staying at this villa far exceeded our expectations. From the mere size of the home to the cleanliness. It was the perfect place for our large family vacation. The pool and the views were incredible. Andrea was very easy to communicate with before the trip. And Xjohanna who helped us while we were there, was an absolute gem. She helped us with groceries, finding restaurants and transportation throughout our entire stay. The customer service from everyone involved was top notch. I will say it's hard to get around without a car. However, driving as a foreigner would also have its challenges. If you are looking for a remote incredible vacation for a large group. This place is for you. When you need to get to restaurants and shops there are a few small markets in walking distance and a pizza place. There is also an incredible winery across the street. I cannot recommend this highly enough!!

Summary: We All loved the villa. One major problem was no hot water on kitchen floor, so, no hot water for third shower or hot water for the dishwasher! There were 9 of us in the house so we had to share two showers. Just a bit difficult when trying somewhere in the morning. Otherwise the place was delightful.

Summary: Myself and 7 friends had a great time at this villa. Multiple towns are near by and one is within walking distance. The views a excellent and the pool is a refreshing taste to and otherwise lovely holiday. My only negative comment would be to make sure you don’t visit on a cold spell as we did because the villa will get a bit cold and the heating would cost you €30 a night. However we all went out in the days and wrapped up warm in the nights. Great times were had, we’ll be back next year!!
