“great place to stay 7 kilometers outside Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011
3
people found this review helpful

this place is truely unique. It is on a working winery and has a few apatments isolated among the vinyards and olive trees. a kilometer walk to the bus station in Girone and a 20 minute ride to downtown florence. No hassle of finding a place to park or driving in the city.
Elisabetta is a gracious hostess. A bottle of their red chianti and 1 of their white are in the room and available for purchase at the main house for 6-10 euros. These are very good Chianti wines. easily $30 a bottle in the US. No TV but great stars in Tuscany.
No wi-fi except at the main house a mile away but if you are in florence all day who cares.
Walk to the bus through the vinyards. Nice resturant in girone or bring your own food for the small kitchenette. Pick a time when the moon is over 1/2 for the beautiful walk home. Early october and the crowds were smaller--but still sizable-and the weather was great. the harvest was just finished and the leaves were changing.
The breakfast was in a beautiful room with great coffee. Wish we could have stayed days longer.

Room Tip: all are perfect. only maybe 8 rooms to choose from.

“We thank for beautifully holiday!”

Everything was absolutely perfect!We spent there marvellous 14 days! Our room was lovely, we appreciate the small and good equipped kitchen. Every morning we awoke on great aroma of breakfast coffee. Missis Elisabetta prepares tasty breakfast served in cosy small house furnished in typical tuscany style. Surrounding was charming as well! Sitting on the terrace with cup of delicious red bio wine (poduced by the family Galardi) every evening with beautiful view on luminous village is experience! The pool was cleaned every day and it was great to jump in to the water after hot day. We amdmired the vineyards and olive´s fields arround. It was very romantic!But this accomodation was also very good starting point for our trips! To the Florence it was only 20 minutes by bus. To the Siena approximately one hour by car. Close to the accomodation you can find excellent restaurant with typical tuscany food. We tasted them and it was delicious, the staff was friendly and nice. In the end we would like to thank again to family Galardi for marvellous holiday!! We recommend to all visit this nice place and spend there holiday.

“It felt like being at home!”

person found this review helpful

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!

“A quiet sanctuary among the organic vineyards and olive trees.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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.

“Nestled amongst vines and olives, overlooking the valley, 15 minutes drive out of Florence”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2010

person found this review helpful

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
