Vacation Rentals, Italy, Tuscany - Florence

Affordable Luxury Above Florence

Location: Fiesole/Firenze

Sleeps: 6


I Pini, located adjacent to Fiesole, is one of those rare gems located just above Florence. These are coveted properties: in the countryside overlooking the City of Art.

And with a pool and AC...well this could be heaven top me. Couple that with great views, loads of rosemary and over 50 rose bushes planted in 2005 and you have fragrance along with everything else. Enough for the Casa Bell’arte folks to come sniffing around for photos. Although perfectly affordable, I Pini has had a nice run of celebrities staying for a week or two.

Renovated, kept up meticulously and outfitted with all the modern amenities one seeks in this day and age, I Pini provides the best in this part of the world. This spacious casa, a converted rustico, is located on the same property as the original villa. I Pini has two floors and two large terraces (well, three if truth be told). One is covered and has views of Fiesole, the other terrace is not covered but also with views of Fiesole, and a perfect place for dining al fresco. But I think I would simply sun myself outside and jump in the pool. Did we mention the pool has night lights too?

Perfect for: family and couples.

Ground floor: Living room with comfortable seating and antique furniture, a dining room for 8, kitchen (with microwave, gas oven, pizza oven and more), powder room and a private suite that features a living room, double bed and full bathroom with enormous shower (particularly suited for handicap accessibility).

First floor: Piano room, bedroom with king size bed, a twin bedroom and a full bedroom (sleeps 1 nicely and 2 in a tight fashion) and two full bathrooms: one is with shower and the other an enormous affair with jacuzzi and shower (the bathrooms "are divine" as we have been told). There is also a large laundry room on this floor equipped with washer and dryer(!).


Cooking class is possible here. Horse back riding can also be arranged. The owner is tight with the equestrian club of Florence. A tabbachi down the Bolognese road has cold cuts; bread and cheese for a quick stocking. Olio Pane is a good restaurant located at the base of Bolgnese. The apartment on the otherside of the rental (separate entrance) is permanentally occupied.
