Castello is an area of great historical importance. Several Renaissance villas are located within walking distance from the apartment. The Villa Reale and Villa Petraia, both belonging to the Medici family, are famous for their architecture and as striking examples of Italian formal gardens. Villa Petraia was also home to king Vittorio Emanuele II, who summered in Castello when Florence became the capital of Italy in 1865. Further down the road from Villa Petraia, you’ll see Villa Bel Riposo. Carlo Lorenzi Collodi, the author of Pinocchio lived here while he was writing this popular story. All the characters in Pinocchio were drawn from real persons living in and around Castello. Castello is an area of great natural beauty. Narrow roads wind along ancient stone walls up the mountainside. Marvel at the rustic farm houses and splendid villas that sit amongst acres of silver-leafed olive trees. Guests are invited to stroll throughout the Castello apartment's olive grove.

A fabulous location

Jennie x Leeds, West Yorkshire
Review Submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
A group of 6 of us (3 couples) stayed in this apartment from the 17th to the 23rd September this year and we couldn't have asked for a better location. Florence was beautiful, unforgetable in fact and the apartment itself was spacious, well maintained, very clean with very hospitable hosts. The country-side location just outside but overlooking the city was perfect and the decent walk up hill from the bus stop meant we could walk off all the pizza and gelato we consumed during the day! The buses into and out Florence were regular and cheap! Would recommend a stop at the Coop on the bus route just outside of Florence for stocking up on supplies. Would recommend staying here to anyone thinking of going to Florence.

A treasure above Florence

Stuart of Surrey Surrey, England
Review Submitted: August 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We recently enjoyed a stay with Francesco and his mother Teresa in one of their beautiful villas. The postion above Florence made for a memorable view and the welcome and help we received was much appreciated. I would highly recommend this villa for it's location and facilities, although there is no air conditioning. The pool was very welcome during the hot August days. We look forward to returning soon.

Great Apartment

Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Beautiful location within walking distance to beautiful Villa Petraia, helpful, accommodating, wonderful hosts, clean, comfortable, well-maintained spacious accommodations, amazing views, fun cooking class, delicious meal, spacious grounds for walking and relaxing. Short walk down to bus stop, long difficult walk back up to villa from bus stop, car very helpful unless you take taxi which is fine. I would highly recommend this property.

Sightseeing in Florence

Riitta Finland
Review Submitted: November 17, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Beautiful place with excellent view over Florence. Nice owners who helped us with small details like bus and shops. We also had excellent dinner there. And swimming pool was a good relaxing place after climbing to the house, which was the only minus.

Review Submitted: October 16, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Had the holiday of a life time in Italy, drove through France and Switzerland to get to Florence, the villa Clementina was how we imagined an Italian villa to be cool, roomy and very atmospheric set amongst olive groves and ancient narrow italian lanes. The family was very friendly and welcoming and we would certainly go back. It was wonderful to watch the sun go down every evening over that incredible city we'll never forget our time in Florence.
