The Barn of Villa Buonamici

Located in a small hamlet, detached stone villa with garden on 3 sides that slopes down towards the stream. It is arranged over three floors for a total of 210sqm and has been expertly restored and furnished with pieces from the ancient Tuscan tradition.
Independent historic building used in antiquity for agricultural use. The structure is part of the larger complex of Villa Buonamici dating back to 1300 and was completely renovated in 2015. The residence overlooks the ancient courtyard of our village. Its garden degrades directly on a pretty stream that flows slowly towards the valley among a succession of small waterfalls. It offers the opportunity to relax in the silence of the Tuscan countryside or in the splendid infinity pool overlooking the valley of olive trees. For an exclusive stay in environments that are the result of a quality restoration in the recovery of ancient cooked, stones and wood.
terrace equipped with table chairs for outdoor dining, barbecue, private garden and patio for relaxing moments. Shared use of the pool and its garden.
It is possible to organize typical Tuscan dinners, barbecues and cooking classes.
the barn is located in a medieval village completely surrounded by greenery on the border between the forest and the typical olive groves that characterize the Tuscan countryside. Located 3 km from the village of Vaiano where there are shops, train station and various services.
Ideal point to easily reach places of cultural and historical interest, easily visited in a day (Florence, Prato, Pistoia, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Volterra and the other famous places of the splendid Tuscany). Car is required.

One of the highlights of our trip!
Staying at Christina’s villa was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy this year. We enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared by Christina and her mother on the night we arrived. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable, and we wished we could have spent more time on the property. Many thanks for the great hospitality!

Sorry to say but a little disappointing
Our family stayed here for a week in July 2018. We were disappointed as the villa did not live up to our expectations or the photographs and reviews. It was a little tired with threadbare rugs on the floor. I appreciate the building is old but the furniture doesn't have to be! The curtains and tablecloths in the bedrooms needed laundering and although the bathrooms were clean all four ensuites had severe mould. One of the bedrooms had disabled access and a wet room effect but wasn't able drain the water away leaving the bathroom swamped in water all day long. We didn't actually use the fourth bedroom in the basement as intended. It was very damp and musty and the mould in the bathroom was just not acceptable. There was a humidifier in the room which showed there was obviously a problem with the room, the sheets felt damp and there was an obvious smell of damp. My daughters shared a double bedroom upstairs instead of having their own. I spent 3 hours upon arrival with a scrubbing brush and some special treathment to make all the bathrooms acceptable to use. The mould was clearly from several months worth of incompetent cleaning and not just a poor service or quick handover. I made it known to the owner Christina who lent me the scrubbing brush and apologised that the bathrooms were not acceptable. I pointed out that their cleaning company should see the before and after photos that I took and she agreed. Christina did say that she would send the cleaners back to the villa in the week but this never happened as she went away herself for a week. Ricardo, Christina's brother was extremely helpful when needed, one of our toilets didn't flush and he arranged a plumber to come and fix this. However there was no communication between Ricardo and Christina as on our departure date we argued the cleaning bill of 100 euros seeing as I had had to do the cleaning of the bathrooms when I arrived and he knew nothing about this problem. After a discussion and showing him the before and after photographs he agreed this was not good and we paid half the price of the cleaning which we appreciated. Our villa experience this time was unfortunately not one that I would want to repeat. However the pool area and gardens and view were just as photographed and very well kept and clean, comfortable sunbeds and a spectacular view that we won't forget. The property was a good location for sightseeing and close to a good mainline station. Roberts Family

Authentic Stone Villa in the Hills
We stayed in the smaller villa in early October. The area was isolated and charming with the sound of running water outside the back windows. If you are looking for a relaxing place in the country this will be a great option. Before booking I looked at many places and read countless reviews so for anyone reading this, I hope it is helpful! I would recommend visiting in the warm months when you can use the pool and enjoy the beautiful natural setting. For my family it was too cold at this time of year and we went sightseeing or shopping every day so we didn't get to enjoy the property to its fullest.. This property will be ideal for a group that wants to enjoy the local area. It was closer to an hour in high traffic times to Florence. I would definitely return with others that appreciate a laid back atmosphere and don't need tv in every room. The photos are accurate and its decorated very nicely. Everyone we came in contact with was very nice. The homeowner went shopping for us before we arrived & the brother delivered wood for the fireplace (for a fee). The Coop grocery in town was great! There is a washing machine on property and you can line dry clothing. We travelled with a nine month old and they had a crib & high chair. It would be best to bring children who could walk bc of the stairs & stone floors. I highly recommend you arrive during the daytime so that you can easily find the place and take time with the host to learn the ins and outs of your rental. It will make for a much better experience.

Pasqua a Vaiano
Piccolo borgo nei paraggi di Vaiano struttura completamente ristruttura, molto curata nei particolari e nella pulizia, posto ideale per rilassarsi (si può fare del trekking nelle vicinanze). Sicuramente da riprovare in periodi più caldi per sfruttare la bellissima piscina con vista sulle colline. Tutto direi ottimo

Ein wunderbares Refugium mit Pool
Wir (2 Familien mit insgesamt 5 Kindern) haben eine Woche in diesem Quartier verbracht. Das Haus ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und hat den Charme eines stilvoll modernisierten Landhauses. Die Gastgeberin war sehr nett. Den großen und sauberen Pool (von dem aus man einen tollen Blick über das Tal hat) teilen sich die Bewohner dreier Ferienhäuser. Die Reinigung ließ leider ein wenig zu wünschen übrig. Wir würden hier wieder Urlaub machen.
