Londa House | Cantina Di Bacco: Charming Cottage, Shared Pool And Valley Views near Florence

1 Bedroom House in Londa

Just 40 minutes from Florence you find our 15th century little buidings, Arco and La Cantina di Bacco, both belonging to a historical farming estate , officially certified for being very ancient by the Chamber of Commerce of Florence . As a matter of fact the "Fattoria" is in the hands of the same family since 1645. The two ancient buildings are part of a hamlet nestled on a hilltop above Londa, a quaint little village 15 minutes drive away in the Chianti Rufina region. From their idyllic, secluded position one can enjoy the view of the Sieve valley and the Mugello woodland which well deserves the name of the" green heart of Tuscany". La Cantina , a converted haybarn, and Arco, a converted oil-mill have been restored using typical materials such as terracotta floors and chestnut exposed beams .The original stone floors at Arco have all been carefully preserved. The location is ideal for day trips to the many historical Tuscan cities and to the coast or just for a relaxing holiday in a peaceful unspoiled setting among olive groves . If you choose to come with friends or family our houses are a perfect solution: close but quite independent and private with their own private gardens, shady and sunny spots and beautiful views. The houses are furnished with antique and local furniture which complete their rustic charm.
Downstairs: living room with fireplace, sofa,round table and chairs, sideboard, television set.
Adjoining kitchen, fully equipped with 4 gas hob, oven, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, express coffee maker, washing machine.

Summary: Arco was a charming little cottage, about a 10 minute drive up a mountain from Londa. The road to get to the cottage is a narrow 2-way road with lots of switchbacks, which took us a bit of time to get accustomed to driving. However, the views from the cottage were stunning. We also loved spending time at the pool, which was just a few minutes away. It was fairly easy to get to Florence from here, and the restaurants in the area serve delicious food. It was nice having a washing machine available, but laundry took longer than expected since the washer kept tripping the circuit breaker. Also remember to bring your own detergent, as it is not supplied. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. Maria Luisa, Paola and their family have been very nice to us and they were also easy to reach whenever we had any questions. Thanks for having us!

Summary: We chose Cantina Di Bacco because we wanted somewhere peaceful, a little off the tourist track, with great views - and this little gem exceeded our expectations. The property isn’t about mod cons, it’s about simple, rustic beauty; a clean, comfortable well-designed living space in an idyllic location. The outside space is lovely for your meals, the pool area (which is 5 min walk away) is exceptional, and never felt busy despite being shared, and Londa is a charming little town. We also recommend Il Geko restaurant in Dicomano for really great pizza. We feel completely relaxed following our 2 weeks here and will definitely be back. Grazie Mille to Paola, Maria Luisa, Tommaso and everyone who showed us such wonderful hospitality.

Summary: We had a really nice time in Cantina do Bacco. The house is very romantic and when you arrive the owner and her husband give you a warm welcome. The house is simple but has al the basics. The garden is really big and there are fine beds and seats in this also romantic garden with a beautiful view on the mountains. There are other houses around you, but you have got the feeling that you are all alone. The owners sister is your direct neighbor and she helped us fine with some questions. The pool is beautiful and we had the pool most for our selves alone. The area is beautiful and a lot of Tuscany highlights are near. Tip: in Londa above the cinema is a local restaurant. It’s a restaurant for locals and it is really good! You taste the real Italian food here.

Summary: We loved the cottage! It was hidden away in the mountains away from the busses and busses but an easy drive into Firenze or Sienna. The fresh air, scent of cowers and scenic views were breath taking! The drive up the mountain the first day in the large vehicle we rented was a little hairy but once I got the hang of it I didn’t mind at all and rather had a chance to enjoy the view

Summary: We had the most amazing stay in this little beautifull cottage, set high up in the Tuscan hills, above the little town of Londa, where there were bars, restaurants and shops. The attention to detail inside, and outside, the property was second to none. It was very clean and well maintained. Fresh wild flowers in all the rooms, gave off a divine scent throughout. The bedroom upstairs had a lovely door out to a little courtyard and was a delight. A well equipped kitchen with washing machine. We especially liked eating outside under the pergola in the pretty garden. We loved everything about the place, the scenery was to die for, like a little piece of heaven on earth. Our hosts were extremely kind and helpful, before and during our stay. We arrived to a bottle of local wine, bread, jam and milk for our breakfast. Our hosts even helped us to arrange travel arrangements to visit Rome, which we did by train from Florence, we would recommend taking the trains into Florence for the day as well, leaving the car at Contea Londa and taking the train. We also visited Siena, about an hour and half journey away, but well worth the trip. We spent our 40th wedding anniversary there - truely breath taking. The Cantina Di Bacco is well situated for sightseeing day trips. We also loved the swimming pool which is a short walk away, with sun loungers, we found it so peaceful after our busy days out. The setting around the swimming pool was clean and very well maintained, and of course the views were stunning. Up in the Tuscan hills it is really peaceful, tranquil and awe inspiring. We would love one day to return to this magical place and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a sightseeing or relaxing holiday, you can experience them both here. Once again we would like to thank our hosts for their help and kindness during our stay.

Summary: My wife Kathryn and I had the most wonderful and relaxing holidays at Cantina di Bacco last August. The place is a heaven of peace, it is confortable, well furnished and the views are absolutely stunning. We arrived late in the evening from Pisa and were taken to the house by Maria-Luisa's sister who leaves in the valley in Londa. The house was spotless and there was a nice bottle of wine and some grapes on the table. The next day, we woke up to sunshine and glorious views. Despite being in a rural setting and surrounded by trees, the cottage is extremely quiet and we could easily have slept till late every day (one could have expected birds to be noisy...). Walking to the pool takes a couple of minutes through some beautiful olive groves and you can eat plenty of blackberries while on the way. While at the pool, you may meet Maria-Luisa or somebody from the family. Maria speaks very good English and couldn't be more helpful. She knows the area inside out and her advice is invaluable. Florence is very conveniently close by. It only takes about 20 mns in the train (leave car in Contea and take the train). The service is very efficient and cheap. You'll understand why we get ripped off on train fares in the UK...!!! Must see are Sienna and San Giminiano and a trip to Poppi is well worth it. We went there on Maria-Luisa's advice and had a great day. There is plenty of brilliant walking to be done around the cottage or slightly North towards San Godenzo and surrounding area. One thing both my wife and I enjoyed was the fact that very few people spoke good English (unless going to Florence or Sienna) so we had to make an effort to speak a bit of Italian. Absolutely everyone in Londa and surrounding villages was wonderful. They couldn't have done enough to help us and were all very welcoming. Our difficulty to speak Italian led us to some funny and confusing situations on a couple of excursions but all the more enjoyable and better to get to know the local people. We are not the type to go back to the same place on holiday and actually rarely go back twice unless it is to visit family but...I think Cantina di Bacco and that small corner of Italy will become an exception...

Summary: We have enjoyed 2 lovely weeks at the beautiful Casa Arco. The accomodation was just perfect and so too was our lovely host Maria Luisa who we met on a visit to the pool. Before our visit she made sure we had a detailed email with directions to the property which were very easy to follow. The houses are set in wonderful surroundings in the Tuscan hills. When we arrived our little Arco have lovely pots full of wild flowers and everywhere was super clean and fully equiped for our stay. The village of Londa is lovely and has all the shops you need for your stay. Inside the Arco there was excellent information about places to see and good places to eat. Maria Luisa had also written about the history of the property as it was an old olive mill and has the mill stone visible both inside and outside the property. The area has so much to offer, there is pleanty of beautiful places to visit and the most wonderful food to eat, but it was always lovely to return to the Casa Arco as it felt so homely. This was our first visit to the region and we were very sad to leave but we have already booked to return next year and I hope many years to come.

Summary: We stayed here for a week and didn't realise in what a lovely location the cottage was among the mountains. It was so peaceful. We loved the swimming pool especially after hot days out. We ate every evening at the property because of the views. The countryside around there is stunning. The people of Londa very friendly. The local ricotta cheese is delicious. We are definitely returning to this holiday property. The owners were very welcoming and helpful too. It is ideally suited for sight seeing days out as well.
