Photos and Description of the Vicchio vacation rental Three large comfy rooms in B&B retreat in hidden rural corner of Tuscany

Large restored (2006) Tuscan farmhouse on a tiny hilltop in a hidden rural corner of north-western Tuscany with three comfy double rooms all with ensuite bathrooms. The ground floor double room has small kitchenette overlooking tiniest terrace. Great views of hills and vineyards and oak woods from upstairs rooms, one of which sleeps three and largest one four. Breakfasts and dinners on request are served in outside loggia or under the vine pergola by the pool area. A real getaway retreat for a romantic holiday at any season. Only five Kms from the nearest little town of Vicchio, birthplace of Giotto and Fra Angelico and an hour's train ride from the centre of Florence.

Moeder Groningen, the Netherlands
Review Submitted: July 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This place is absolutely magical! It's a gorgeous old house with beamed ceilings and tile floors, but it's also got beautiful, clean, modern bathrooms and it's spotless. It's surrounded by gardens with lots of fruit trees and flowers, and beyond that, farm fields and views of rolling hills. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful. They provide a beautiful breakfast, and I would certainly recommend booking one of their dinners as well; Heidi is a wonderful cook! It's a perfect place to rest and recover from a hectic life; just sitting in the garden reading a book was delightful! Highly recommended!
