This was a wonderful home. Spacious and elegant, full of Italian charm. Mario the manager was so charming and helpful. You were a short taxi ride to the center of Florence. It was a great place for our large family to visit around Tuscany yet come back to cook and hangout. Superior!

My family and I had the pleasure of staying here for a week and we had the most marvelous time. Lorenzo was very easy to work with and was very communicative. As he promised, Mario greeted us upon arrival at the villa and gave us a very thorough tour and even sold us bus tickets to help get us started!! I requested that a few items be in the villa and Mario purchased exactly what we needed and wanted. The villa is spacious and very comfortable. The pool is very near the villa and was exactly what the four of us needed after fun filled days of walking around and exploring. In addition to the amazing accommodations and spectacular service, Andrea, the concierge, made our trip one to remember. He made all of our dinner reservations, organized for us to be picked from the train station (we started in Rome), arranged for day trips to Lucca, Pisa and Siena (all of which I highly recommend), reserved a time for me and my daughter to have a cooking class with Sandra and helped us get to our next location. This was my first time in Florence so I had A LOT of questions and he responded quickly and kindly to all of my emails. The team of Lorenzo, Mario and Andrea can not be beat!! If you are in Florence staying here and meeting these incredible people is a must!

Belle et spacieuse villa proche du centre avec vue magnifique sur Florence. Jardin agréable et très bien entretenu. Mario, le concierge, a été très accueillant et disponible.
Bémol en revanche sur la prestation hôtelière et l'état général de la maison:
-ménage très approximatif (beaucoup de poussière, carreaux sales, nappes sales)
-literie de très mauvaise qualité
-terrasse côté piscine dangereuse (clous qui ressortent des lattes en bois)
-une des douches bouchée (nous l'avons débouchée mais cela aurait pu être controlé avant notre arrivée)
-nous avons retrouvé un sac plein de linge sale (serviettes des locataires précédents?) dans un placard.
Bref, nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille mais au vu du prix, nous aurions attendu une prestation plus qualitative.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Villa Acacia. Lorenzo was the perfect host; professional, quickly responded to our questions, and very friendly. We highly recommend a custom bespoke Italian dinner at the Villa as well as a welcome dinner. Many thanks to the properties Caretaker, Mario. He took us to the supermarket, not once but twice, and shopped the isles with us. He has a very good command of the English language.
And many thanks to the concierge, Andrea. He arranged for our transport to and from Rome and Florence. He also arranged for our day trip to Siena and Chianti, where we had a tour of a winery with a lovely lunch/wine-tasting on the terrace overlooking a majestic view. The villa is rich with old world charm. It is situated on the hills, overlooking Florence city center. The Villa is very well-maintained both inside and outside. The nearby bus was not running while we were there, but we had no problems getting a taxi within 10 minutes. Five ⭐️

Good location, short bus ride to city center. Host incredibly responsive and set us up with a house caretaker, a concierge for tours, drivers, etc. A full service experience. House is beautiful with a great view of the city from poolside.

Fantastic!!!! From the 1st day we contacted Lorenzo to the last night of our stay everything was perfect!!!. The house and its location were great, with amazing views of Florence. Andrea the concierge was such a huge help arraigning day trips for us and transportation. Everything went smooth and easy. Mario, that greeted us at the house couldn't have been nicer, he even drove us to the supermarket and helped us find all the supplies we needed for the house. Lorenzo had suggested having a Chef cook us a meal at the house. We chose our last night for this meal, little did we know that Lorenzo himself would be helping the Chef and serving us our dinner. The food was AMAZING and the service was impeccable!! Recommend this Villa highly and would return!!!

This was just an awesome Holiday Home and everything was perfect! Mario the caretaker was there to great us to go over everything and even drove us to the local grocery store so we could get items in the house, as we did breakfast daily there, and even cooked one night.
The first night we worked with Lorenzo the owner who as we were hoping to arrange to have a cook, as our group of 8 were arriving at different times, and thought it would be easier to do dinner at the villa. The food was absolutely amazing, one of the best meals we had. It included zucchini pie, lasagna, chocolate cake, fresh apricots water and wine!
There is also a concierge available, named Andrea - the most awesome individual to work with. He arranged all our transfers from the Florence airport and train station for both departure and return. We also used him to arrange some trips for us. They included lunch/wine tasting in the Tuscany region, a boat excursion to Cinque Terre, visits to Lucca, Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano. I highly recommend you take advantage of his services and also for the tours ask if he can get Francesca as your drive, she is an absolute delight.
We did not have a car and easy to get a taxi or Uber to take us into Florence for dinner and shopping, which is not more than 10 - 15 minutes to city center.
The villa is just great, as all the bedrooms are air conditioned, and more than enough bathrooms and bedrooms for our two families. Also the views from the villa were spectacular.

We cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is! The beauty will take your breath away!!!! It’s very convenient to get to town. You truly don’t need a car. Even if you have a car you won’t use while you’re there. Lorenzo was a wonderful property owner who helped arranged everything little detail and convenience for us. His property caretaker Mario was one of the sweetest human beings we have met and we enjoyed his help tremendously! This place was worth every single penny!

Felt like home - you will love it
First of all, Lorenzo is a great host. He is willing to help make your stay just perfect. The home is better than pictured because you get a better sense of the flow by just being there, you get a better sense of its history by seeing it live, and to my delight the pool is incredibly clean and comfortable. True to its description, the bus ride is easy and convenient, although buses aren't always quite on schedule, so some flexibility is needed on your part. But the bus stop is just a few steps away and you can get your bus tickets just down the street. Everything is in walking distance to get you into town. Uber comes to the house. The taxis have a wonderful App that helps with the language barriers. The views are lovely, the landscape is rich and lush; I just can't say enough nice things about the property, Lorenzo, Mario and the team. There was nothing we were lacking....We were 3 couples in our 50s and 60s, with 2 adult children (in late 20s). All 8 of us slept well in the beds, and were very comfortable with the amenities. AC works very well, there are fans in the rooms that also keep you cool. I do hope to come back one day, as Lorenzo and. Mario made us feel like family.

Perfect Villa in Florence
We really had a magical experience here. The villa is gorgeous and has incredible views of Florence, which is a mere 10 minutes away by bus. It’s charming and spacious and outfitted well for guests.
We watched fireworks light up the entire city on New Years from the rooftop deck. Lorenzo found a chef who cooked us a meal of a lifetime at the Villa - we are a group of foodies and we were blown away by a delicious 6 course meal - one of the best we had in all of Italy.
You will not find a nicer host than Lorenzo - we had members of our party get a bad winter cough a few days before we arrived in Florence, and he helped us find a doctor, he gave us restaurant recommendations (from higher end to more authentic neighborhood joints - Zocchi was a favorite), and even helped us figure out the bus schedule on a holiday. If anything, we were a bit “high maintenance” and he could not have been more gracious.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
