Recensies voor Villa Eden

We recently had a group of 10 friends stay here and had a wonderful time. The owners (Danielle and Massimo) are on site and are terrific to deal with. The location in the hills above Florence is very picturesque and offers great views of Florence and Sesto Fiorentino.
The villa is a 750 year old building that the owners spent 4 years renovating. The original architecture is now mixed with modern conveniences. A very peaceful and quiet location. It offers a very authentic Tuscan experience with 9 plus acres high in the hills overlooking Sesto / Florence with many stone walls/ terraces, including many olive, plum and fig trees for our use. Small area of farm animals - hens, geese, goats horses, etc.
While the villa is close to 4 hillside restaurants, a village and Sesto Fiorentino, you definitely need a car to get anywhere due to the steep hillside roadways. Make sure you bring a GPS with maps of Italy – if you do not you will spend many hours lost on narrow, winding one way streets. City centers generally do not allow non resident cars and will fine you if you drive in them.
Danielle and Massimo will prepare a full breakfast for you for a fee and they will arrange for 2 outstanding Chefs to prepare multi course themed Italian meals for you at a reasonable cost. . These two ladies were very willing to explain each course and how they had prepared it...lots of food and variety.
We booked 1 breakfast and 3 dinners. In hindsight we should have booked more. The food was better than the restaurants with plenty of leftovers for snacks a day or two later. It was more relaxing to eat at villa after a busy day out driving/ touring than to have to go out again in evening to restaurant .
Danielle gave us tips on grocery store ( Esselunga recommended ) locations and how to get to the train station. Take the local train to Florence as opposed to driving. Much quicker and no need to drive in heavy traffic. Cost is 1.5 euros per person.
The villa was listed as "Villa Eden" on some web sites but the actual name is Tenuta Lonciano. That is what the locals know it by and the road is well marked with many signs indicating where the villa is located.
Find Massimo’s café (Gran Bar) in Sesto Fiorentino and enjoy his wonderful baked goods!!! The experience was excellent in every respect.
Can not say enough positive things about our hosts, Danielle and Massimo. These two fine hard working gentleman made our stay in Tuscany pleasant and enjoyable ..always available and willing to give advise and help. Danielle was willing to get up at 5am and drive 2 members of our group to the local train station so they could get to Florence to catch the train back to Rome for the flight home. He would not take any payment for doing this for us.
When visiting Florence try the " hop on hop off " bus for good city tour/orientation. The best experience was driving out into the countryside to the small hilltop Medieval/Roman towns....less people, better prices, some have old walls, narrow streets and many out door markets...very quaint and beautiful places.
Some favourites... Lucca .. Drive or take train from Sesto
San Gimignano.. Nice drive
Siena... Take the train as parking is horrible
Montalcino... Nice drive
Greve in Chanti easy drive from villa
And many more....
We booked this villa because of it's history and location and were not disappointed.

Our family of 8 could not have asked for a more perfect venue than VILLA
EDEN for our vacation. The views are stunning and the villa is
beautifully and tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and
well-lighted bathrooms with showers. Each bedroom is actually like a
small apartment with a sitting area, small kitchenette, and bathroom.
The villa is very clean and well maintained and Danielle has a maid
service come in mid-week to tidy up. Tenuta Lonciano is a peaceful place
to retreat after a day of touring Florence and surrounding areas.
Daniele and Massimo have thought of everything to make guests stay
memorable. For example, you can request daily breakfast service that is
absolutely fantastic! Massimo puts on a breakfast feast with a smile.
Massimo is delightful to greet every morning! Additionally, Daniele
greeted us at the airport and directed us to the villa and then sat down
with us to answer any questions. Importantly, Daniele and Massimo also
offer a grocery service so our villa was stocked upon arrival! Daniele
also went beyond expectations when he decorated the dining room for my
husband's 60th birthday and purchased a delicious cake. Daniele also
arranged for a chef service to prepare dinner one evening. This was the
best meal we had our entire stay in Florence and we went to many great
restaurants. The 2 female chefs were lovely and the food absolutely
delicious and abundant!
We cannot say enough to express our gratitude to Daniele and Massimo for
all they did to make our Florentine holiday special.Zou u deze woning aanbevelen aan een vriend? Ja
Where do I start? This was a beautiful property with amazing views of the Tuscan hills and Florence. We asked that the owners pick up a few groceries for us to get started which they happily took care of. Additionally, we asked that they provide a bed and breakfast style breakfast for our first morning. There was enough food to munch on for breakfasts for most of the week. We so appreciated this since there were several mornings that we were up early to get on with our day's travels. Upon arrival we asked that they make a reservation for us at a nearby restaurant of their recommendation. It was fantastic. Great way to start our week. We had so many leftovers that we were able to eat on that for a few days. Tuscan Steak and eggs for breakfast? Yes please. The road to the property is very curvy so I would suggest that if you get car sick, you take precautions. I just cannot explain how beautiful the views are from this property. Pictures cannot do it justice. The proprietors, Mossimo and Daniele, are very accommodating. They even arranged for a dinner to be catered for us on our last night (30 Euro per person) Rates for the house are very reasonable. We went with three other couples and rented the whole property. Each larger room has it's own bathroom which is a big benefit to this property. I believe the only room that may not have had it's own bathroom is the one with a single bed but there were extra bathrooms to accommodate people on the first and second floors. The only negative, if you want to call it that, is that there is no a/c and if it is extremely hot out, you might be hot in the evening. We had a fan so it was fine. The good thing about having no a/c is that they electric reimbursement is less.

We spent a week at Villa Eden. The house and the surroundings are amazing and look even prettier than the pictures. We are used to spend a week in a villa either in Spain or Italy and Villa Eden was just perfect for us. Great location (just 15 min from Florence), the house was cleaned and specious, the owner Danielle is a very nice person and goes beyond his way to make sure you are comfortable, and the highlight for us was to hire two wonderful chefs that cooked a few nights for us (superb Italian dishes and plenty of food if you wanted seconds!). Our kids enjoyed the pool and running around the fields and the adults loved the calm surroundings, the pool, the great food, and the amazing view, specially at night when we observed the lights of Florence while having an alfresco dinner. A must come back! Thanks Danielle!
