Le Civette Country Resort

This is a beautiful environment and a relaxing stay outside of Florence. The views from the swimming pool are gorgeous surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Marco is very hospitable and there were thoughtful touches throughout. The bed was comfortable and the shower had very good water pressure. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and serving options. We would love to return and explore the area more. It was a wonderful location for taking the bus into Florence as well as touring the local vineyards in Tuscany.

I had one work day and the internet inside the apartment was perfectly fine for web browsing, but challenging for a day of video conferencing.

The property was everything it said it was - quiet, calm, tranquil, in nature, beautiful pool, and couple of hundred meters from a bus stop to the city centre. Marco was lovely, and helpful and always attentive. The concept is country style, laid back and no bling - homely and comfortable.

We liked that the property is outside of the busy city and able to be in a quiet place and relax. The bus stop is a 10-15 minute walk away and the bus system is simple with the bus app “At Bus.” The property itself you can tell Marco puts a lot of work and love into it. It’s a very homey place. If you plan to rent a car there is lots of space for parking. If you plan to walk, the area is very safe at night to walk. Marco goes above and beyond to help you. When we arrived very late her had already made a reservation for us at the near by restaurant and drove us there. He also is great with email communication. Any question or request I made he was able to support us.

We loved our time and space. Only thing I could say is that possibly the room could be updated and modernized but at the same time we liked the aesthetic it has.

Nice location just a few km outside of Florence and amazing view from the pool. There is free parking and a bus station is nearby if you need it. Marco is a helpful host.

Smell in the bedroom was stale. There was many spider webs on the lightnings and the ventilation in bathroom is very loud. Sheets and towels did not smell fresh which for this price you would reasonably expect.

It is a wonderful Agritorismo in the mountains above Florence. So quite and beautifully situated. I stayed in „Ciliega“ and it was perfect. Wonderful equipped, comfortable bed, many towels and nice and big bathroom. And the best is definitely the host Marco. He helped me a lot, is so friendly and even drove mit to the city. I’ll come again

Great place to discover Florence and to relax too Most beautiful pool with view into the Tuscan hills, vineyards and olive groves. The flat is spacious and clean, good bed. We came via train and the suburban busline into the city is just 5 min away so you don’t need a car. Marco, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. We were very happy to stay and will definitely come again

Nothing, great place

My husband and I (early 30s) had a wonderful time at Le Civette. We stayed for 7 nights. The location was an excellent base to explore Florence and the Tuscan countryside. It feels rural although is actually very well connected and only 20 minutes outside of Florence. We hired a car from the airport which made exploring a lot easier. We did also take the bus a couple of times to travel into Florence. It's only a 10 minute walk to the bus stop and they are quite frequent. The accommodation was very clean and the pool is fantastic. The view across the olive groves is stunning! Marco was a very good host. He recommended some local spots for dinner and helped us to book a table and organise wine tasting locally. He made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The kitchen is well equipped to make simple meals and we appreciated the constant supply of coffee capsules! We would love to return to Le Civette and feel there is still plenty to explore in the area. We would highly recommend Le Civette for couple holidays, although the shared facilities (outdoor dining area and BBQ) would lend itself to small groups such as family or friends. We didn't use these as each apartment also has its own outdoor seating.

We have no bad comments to make about Le Civette, it is a dream. However - some useful transport advice to anyone visiting - by far the easiest way to use the bus service is to download the at-bus App and prepay for the number of tickets you'll need. Once on the bus open the app and validate the ticket for the journey (or tickets if you're paying for multiple people). Tickets are cheaper booking this way and its easier to hop on. Also, if hiring a car and new to Italy its worthwhile reading up on how to use the Autostrada tolls and the types of parking spaces. I recommend downloading the EasyPark App as most paid parking lots use this.

We loved the pool area, which is a really romantic place overlooking hills and vineyards. It is also very beautiful in the evening when solar lights turn on. Marco has been most pleasant host, ready to help you with anything you need. The check-in and check-out process was extremely easy.

Bring some mosquito repellent, they are huge and you need any defence option available. :)
