Country Villa - exclusive panorama - excellent location for Pistoia, Florence and Lucca

Beautiful farmhouse, spacious, very elegant, well equipped and renovated with prestigious finishes. The house enjoys a unique and priceless panorama, with a view that sweeps over the whole valley: from the nearby city of Pistoia to the point of seeing Florence in the clearest days. The complex has a beautiful, well-kept and very spacious garden characterized by tall trees, flowers and ornamental plants; The property is also characterized by its typical Tuscan terrace fields dotted with olive trees, various fruit trees, a vegetable garden and a wooded area. The house is located in a hilly area (about 200 m. S.l.) in the countryside, but at the same time only 5 km from the center of Pistoia and 3 km from the motorway exit. This strategic position allows you to reach in about 30 minutes both the city of Florence and that of Lucca and is only 10 minutes from the historic center of Pistoia (named Italian capital of culture for the year 2017) and 20 minutes from Prato.
Nearby there are 2 swimming pools (one open only in summer, the other all year round both outside and inside), an excellent restaurant and a beautiful wooded area that offers challenging routes for both trekking and mountain biking enthusiasts; about thirty minutes there are riding stables and a beautiful golf course (Le Pavoniere Golf & Country Club).
The house of 240 m2, on 2 levels, has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 living room with dining area and 1 large room with adjoining loft used as a double bedroom, a kitchen, a pantry and a small courtyard to use as a laundry area. Both the living room and the living room have two perfectly functional fireplaces. The rooms on the upper floor have air conditioning, the other 2 double bedrooms are equipped with high quality three-speed fans; all doors and fixtures see screens installed. Outside, overlooking the garden, we find a beautiful pergola equipped to enjoy pleasant outdoor dinners and at the same time admire immersed in nature our incomparable breathtaking view.

3 Wonderful Weeks
This villa is exactly how it looks in the pictures except for the view...because pictures can not do it justice. The entire stay was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. The check-in process was quick and painless thanks to Gabriele's wonderful and kind manager. The villa was also very clean and tidy. Gabriele was attentive to our needs by texting and we never felt neglected. Half of the property is shared by his family. I was worried about this as we wanted an exclusive place in the Tuscan hills but we hardly noticed they were even there. The kitchen is stocked with cookware essentials if you don't feel like eating out every night. I cooked on 4 separate occasions after we visited the nearby grocery store. The location is perfect for being close to things but, at the same time, feeling removed. The drive up is narrow and bumpy for sure but very easy. We rented a smaller VW SUV and it was really no problem at all. All in all, we had one of the best times of our lives and would stay here again without hesitation if we are lucky enough to return.

Relaxing and peaceful
My wife and I stayed for 20 days to explore Tuscany. This was the perfect home base. Gabriele was quick to respond to any questions I had. It was the perfect getaway stop on or Italian getaway. I’m recommended it without hesitation.

Lovely Tuscan Country Home
Gabriele is a great communicator. He provided excellent guidance in finding his home and responded quickly to text messages. The entire rental procedure was very easy. The property was beautiful with fantastic views. It was absolutely peaceful and enjoyable. We enjoyed delightful meals at recommended restaurants and also enjoyed meals at the property while being mesmerized by the view. We were there 9 days and had a car allowing us to be able to make easy day trips all over Tuscany and into Liguria. There were only two of us but the house could easily accommodate a much larger family.

First Italy holiday
What can I say except our stay at Gabrielle’s property exceeded our expectations in every way. Communication before our arrival and during our stay was excellent. Followup was timely and we felt very welcome. Property had everything we expected. Wonderful view of valley, well supplied kitchen. Enjoyed meeting neighbors in the area as we were there for 1 month and had opportunity to meet people. Made several friendships that will continue. We hope to return to Italy in the future and would definitely stay at Gabrielle villa again!

What a View!
This was the perfect place to wrap up our two-week stay in Italy! So peaceful, quit, and beautiful! It was easy to take the train into Firenze (Florence) — the station was about 10 min. away. However, some in our group passed up Firenze because they wanted to really enjoy this place with an unforgettable view. We were given full access to the kitchen and even had friends over to have dinner with us on the patio. The washing machine, piano, and hammock were also put to good use. Soooo happy we found this place. Next time we hope to stay longer!

Beautiful Villa inside and out with a breathtaking view of Pistoia! Our host Gabriele was great!
I would highly recommend this Villa. Very clean and well taken care of. There is plenty of room with cozy furniture. My daughter and I enjoyed sitting on the front patio table watching the beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Our host Gabriele gave us a gift basket full of pasta and wine to enjoy our first dinner there. He went out of his way and was very kind to assist us with our transportation needs in addition to being available for any questions we had. Gabriele made our stay the best! I would recommend renting a car to enjoy the town of Pistoia and nearby cities. You can also take a train to Pistoia and arrange for a taxi to get to the Villa. Truly the best accommodations at a great price.

Fantastic!
The villa was great, very spacious, and with every comfort and convenience. The view from the property is also amazing, with the valley of the Arno stretching for miles in front of you. You can see the Duomo of Florence in the distance. There is a pleasant terrace garden which looks over this view, with shady spots under trees, and herbs for cooking. Gabriele, the owner, must be the best villa owner in Italy, he was so helpful to us. We arrived (very slowly) from the UK in our historic Land Rover, and with some engine problems. Gabriele helped us with talking to the Car Garage at the bottom of the driveway (I can also reccommend this garage to anyone, Autofficina Autosoccorso, run by Allesio, they work on everything from 1925 Bugattis! 1950s Fiat 500s, Lancia Deltas, modern vehicles, and ancient Land Rovers!). Gabriele lent us his car! Arranged for our extended stay while the repair was done. He could not have been nicer or more helpful to us. Alastair Binnie

Soggiorno rilassante
Siamo nel periodo di ferragosto. Appena arrivato la casa si è presentata bella ben arredata completa di tutto e con un giardino che ti permetteva di esplorare con lo sguardo tutto l'intorno. Isolata dai rumori e nonostante le luci dei dintorni ci ha permesso di vedere un bel cielo. Il proprietario è stato sempre presente, attraverso la Sig.ra Franca che ci ha accolti al check-in e ci ha dato tutte le informazione per utilizzare tutte le potenzialità dell'immobile (lavatrice, lavastoviglie fonte con acqua potabile, bbq, condizionatori e ventilatori) e attraverso WHATS APP con il quale rispondeva alle nostre domande(di qualsiasi tipo) nell'arco di 15 min. Casa arredata con gusto ed eleganza non esagerata da casa di campagna. bagno padronale con grandissima doccia e vasca. Anche se leggermente isolata, come scritto nella descrizione dell'immobile, si può andare ovunque. Noi siamo stati a Pistoia, Lucca, Bagni di Lucca , Bagni al fiume, piscine di Montecatini, Firenze e Prato. Peccato per i pochi gg a disposizione altrimenti avremmo visto più località o approfondito meglio quelle visitate. SPeriamo di ritornare presto

Fantastic host and incredible house!!!
Gabriele is a fantastic host! Even though we unfortunately didn't met, the contact through whatsapp was perfect. He responded really quick and answered all our questions. Franca took care of us when we arrived and departed. Also a very kind, interested, helpful and lovable person. The house is all you can ask for and then some. It is situated uphill just outside Pistoia. (first time up was exciting :-)). Very nice located for easy trips to Florence (recommendable by train!), Siena, Lucca. Great restaurants in the neighbourhood. The views are really stunning. The outside area was great - everything we needed was there. From bbq to hammock. Even though the apartment was part of a building, we never even noticed there were other people there. It was very private. Inside everything was also perfect. Very good beds in the master, multiple areas to relax, a lot of books, tv, sound system and a fully equipped kitchen where Gabriele left us water and beer in the fridge. I could go on for a little while but I think the message is clear. We had a fantastic vacation thanks to Gabriele and Franca. We hope to meet you next time!!
