Summary: This is a gem for all who search for a hide near of Florenz. The owner, Andrea, is ery nice and extremely helpful. He took us from the airport and tok us back to the airport, too. So we could rent a small car for the time being there since we did not need to care about the transport of the baggage. The large condo is fitted with everyrthing and with lots of paintings. Florence and Fiesole are close and easily to arrive but you need a car for going from the "fattoria" to Caldine where you can reach Florence by train within 15 minutes. The last 500 meters is a small graval road so don't ret a sports car, but our Mini made the wa.y. Caldine spots a good supermarket and a "Pizzeria" with really good pizze. The pool is great and really large and meticiously serviced. The depth of the water is 1,20 meters, it is great for children (and adults) up from 6 years. Some mosquitos, but they are existing in midtown Florence in July as well. If you look for a calm place with all amenites and a great pool and close to Firenze, you are right here!

Summary: Beautiful surroundings with very nice swimming pool. Owners/hosts are delightful and the local wildlife (neighbourhood dog, deer and rabbit!) very friendly. The photographs don't do it justice and there are 2 other apartments on the property that would facilitate a larger group. Highly recommended.

Summary: We stayed for 6 days in June of 2016. The home is beautifully maintained and very private. Andrea is a wonderful host. Driving to Florence takes about 20 minutes and the train is only 12 minutes. Highly recommended! A wonderful experience that I would hope to repeat soon.

Summary: My wife, 20 year old daughter and I had the opportunity to spend 5 days here in September and didn't regret it for a minute. It's a great way to establish a home hub for Firenze and the surrounding Tuscan areas/towns. You will need a car to get to the farmhouse but can avail yourself of the local rail system to quickly access downtown Florence. The hilly dirt road leading to the farmhouse is part of the "experience" but the only detractor overall. Accommodations are basic but comfortable and clean and the countryside quietude is part of the attraction. Andrea was an excellent and gracious host, very communicative and attentive to our needs. We wouldn't hesitate go return if the opportunity arises.

Summary: I have a new rule for traveling after staying here - always stay in the countryside. Andrea's place is bliss - beautiful scenery, immaculately clean accommodation which was also incredibly comfortable and tasteful, but above all Andrea was an excellent host - always there when we needed help - couldn't speak higher of the whole experience

Summary: My husband and I stayed here at the end of April with another couple. The unit (which is attached to the owner's home) is spacious and lots of space for 2 couple (with 2 full bathrooms and 2 full bedrooms plus another small room where someone could sleep). It is up a steep hill from the town of Caldine where the train station is. It is peaceful and beautiful and not too far from Florence, although the train runs only once an hour and stops around 8:30 in the evening. While we liked the place a great deal our trip was marred by a theft that occurred during our first night. Somebody entered the unit in the middle of the night (it's unclear if the front door was locked), came upstairs, and took jewelry and cash from our friends' room while they were in the room sleeping. Needless to say, we were very disturbed by this event. The landlord later revealed that he has an alarm on his house.

Summary: We are 2 senior couples who stayed at Fattoria il Lecce 9 nights, and could have stayed another week. The "farmhouse" is charming, (in fact, the photos do not do it justice), well appointed in terms of everything you need to be comfortable, and well located in regard to Florence. It also has a wonderful patio where we spent many an evening sipping wonderful Tuscan wines and enjoying the quiet surroundings. The highlight, however, was getting to know the lovely owner, Andrea, who checked in with us each day to provide any information we needed, and then invited us into his studio, where he played a beautiful Schubert piece on his concert grand piano. It was an experience we will never forget! We also were so impressed with his son Lorenzo, and loved witnessing the interchange between them. Side trips, easy 60 to 90 minute drives from the villa, included the quaint village of Gaiole in Chianti and the city of Lucca, a charming walled city, still barely touched by tourism. All in all, we cannot say enough about our stay at il Lecce and would recommend it without hesitation.

Summary: We spent 6 weeks in Italy this summer and the stay in Fiesole was week #3. Our son and his girlfriend met us at the "farmhouse". It is charming, very large rooms, loved it! I grew up on a farm and the sights and morning sounds reminded me of my childhood. This is a working farm for Andre's son, who is absolutely delightful. He is a young man that will make changes in our world and environment. Be prepared for a steep drive up the mountain to reach the property! Our best meal in all of Italy was at Mario's just down the road.

Summary: Our family of 5 (children aged 12, 8 and 5) had a wonderful stay at this beautiful farm house. The apartment was very large and thoughtfully fitted out with quality furnishings and appliances. It was very comfortable and we wished we could stay longer than just five nights. It is so quiet, all you hear is insects and birds. The heated salt water pool was very popular after a busy day sightseeing. We visited Sienna one day and Pisa and Luca another day from here. It is a short train ride into Florence. It felt like we were living like locals rather than tourists. It was a pleasure to come home at the end of each day touring and really relax in the country side. There were two cats that visited each night much to the delight of our daughters. Our son who plays the piano was able to have a couple of practice sessions in Andrea's studio and we enjoyed hearing a recital from Andrea who is a professor of classical music - a real treat! Andrea was a warm host, providing a bottle of their olive oil, a bottle of wine and since we forgot to get Parmesan cheese on our stop at the local grocery store on the way, he kindly provided that too. The road to get there is a bit of a challenge the first time but Andrea's instructions were good to follow. You definitely need a car to get up the hill, but get the smallest car you can as the streets in fiesole and around Florence are sometimes so narrow as first time drivers from Australia. By the end of our tour of Italy we were much more confident drivers. We would recommend this property to family and friends and would love to comeback one day, in a smaller car! This was one of the best places we have stayed and was a real highlight if our trip for everyone in our family.

Summary: Our family of five had the most wonderful time in Fiesole. The owners were delightful hosts to us. They provided basic provisions upon our arrival. The owner, upon noticing that there was no cheese in the refrigerator for our pasta, went to his house to bring some parmigiano. The grounds were lovely, and perfect for strolling through the olive grove. Our granddaughter enjoyed the large pool. Later, the owner regalled us with a concert in his studio. The location was a little hard to find, but once found, convenient to get into and out of Florence.
