We are a family from Greece, with two children (8 and 12) and spent the last week of August in this wonderful farm. It was so beautiful and calm, just like a postcard! Although it was a very hot week of 40 degrees our appartment was extremely cool. The breakfast was served in the loveliest veranda you have ever seen, with breathtaking views of the valley. Great location, just 15 minutes by car from Florence, lovely swimming pool, great for the children during the hot afternoons. A great surprise was the resturant in the village of Girone, a hidden garden with extremely friendly people and the most delicious dishes in very good prices. Our warmest thanks to Elisabetta and her family!

This wonderful farm, located 7 km outside of Florence is perfect for an active family. The views are breathtakingly gorgeous, the accommodations are simple, rustic, and perfectly suited to anyone that would prefer affordability over cushy convenience. The hosts, Sr. and Sra. Galardi are most hospitable, working hard to provide a very comfortable and peaceful stay for their guests. Further, the wine and olive oil products are OUTSTANDING. We were fortunate to enjoy both a bottle of red and white produced by the Galardi organic vineyards. The chocolate ganache offered at breakfast, made with Galardi organic olive oil is something you must bring home with you.

I highly recommend this agriturismo for it's location (down a hill from the bus that goes right into Florence and near an outstanding restaurant, Malafemmmina in Girone), it's serenity, and it's generous hosts.

We loved this quiet refuge on the side of the hill. It was a great 15 minute walk down to one of the best restaurants we went to in Italy (2nd best I've ever been to). It is the only restaurant in Girone which is the little village at the base of the hill. I would drive to Girone to go to this restaurant no matter where I stayed in Florence.
But back to the villa - If you don't like walking, then you need to have a car, as it is a great little up hill climb from the bus stop (15 minutes). When you arrive and depart the managers will take you and your luggage as required. The rooms are spacious, with a rustic quality as fits the location. Cooking facilities are also provided together with a communal living area, which is great fun. We had a great time although it was a little too cool to swim in the pool despite it being very inviting
