The villa is ideally located if you are thinking of exploring Tuscany by car or train. The pool and outdoor area are fabulous, really spacious and lots of seating areas to choose from including a lovely shaded area. The villa itself is very quirky, it's full of nik naks. The air con is great, really quiet and kept the place nice and cool in the 37 degree heat!! There were a few early morning maintenance visits during our stay which we weren't expecting, the gardener arrives around 5.30am so don't be alarmed if you see/hear him coming in to water the garden area. Ilenia was available for us to contact and responded to any queries really promptly, she's a very helpful host.

Property was just as the photos showed, full of character and charm. We assumed that the swimming pool was directly outside the villa, but it’s actually around the back of the main house. This didn’t bother us as we were out each day in any event. We had a couple of issues, both of which Ilenia sorted straight away, and for the inconvenience Ilenia and her husband gave us an amazing pizza from their restaurant (best pizza we had in Italy) and a bottle of red wine. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could need for cooking, could have done with a little more work surface space for preparation. The location is very central, only a 15min walk to the train station with good routes to Florence, Pisa etc. If you’re looking for a rural Tuscany feel this isn’t it. The downside... mopeds! The mopeds love to use the road at back of the house to wiz up and down and congregate. This isn’t the hosts fault, but it does somewhat change the peaceful feel. I’m sure Ilenia will sort them out 😃 My partner and I spend our days out exploring and our evenings cooking, relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine. The last thing we want is to listen to those pesky, noisy electric wasps wizzing up and down in the evening. Minus the mopeds - would recommend 😁 Enjoy

I couldnt meet Ilenia due to the host have been on holiday. But her maid is very friendly and helpful and took care about everything. The house is as pictured and filled with items and souvenirs. If you travel with over sized backs or you have more than usual, then you will have problems to find storage inside the house, since it is really packed with decorative items. Empoli hasn't much to offer but is located very central to Florence, Siena, Lucca and the sea. Tuscani is and remains fascinating

Ilena und Luigi haben eine sehr schöne Unterkunft und ein sehr schönes Anwesen. Die ganze Familie war unfassbar gastfreundlich und Ilena hat sich stets nach unserem Wohl erkundigt. Das Café ist wirklich ein MUSS - wir haben dort ein hervorragendes italienisches Frühstück genossen. Die Unterkunft selbst ist sehr liebevoll und mit vielen Details eingerichtet, sehr sauber und hat uns absolut keine Wünsche offen gelassen. Der Pool stand uns den kompletten Zeitraum exklusiv und uneingeschränkt zur Verfügung und man hatte den kompletten Aufenthalt über sehr viel Privatsphäre. Vielen Dank an Ilena und Luigi für diesen tollen und unvergesslichen Urlaub!
