- Marie-Josée (9/5): 2 nuits à Florence . - Très bon
accueil de la dame propriétaire.
L'emplacement non loin du centre de Florence et d'un beau point de vue sur la ville
Et le parc à voiture à proximité.
- Astrid (8/5): Tolles Ambiente, sehr freundliche Besitzer - Kein Frühstück buchbar. Die Lage ist etwas abseits des Stadtzentrums. Ruhig. Toller Fernblick. Auf einer Anhöhe. Außenanlagen, Sitzmöglichkeiten, Zufahrt
- saradelc (7/5): - The location is in a very nice and quiet area outside downtown. The bed is comfortable, and the AC works perfectly. We appreciated the welcome bottle of wine. The availability of private free parking is a plus. The access to the room is not easy, especially with big suitcases. The garden is not well maintained, and the pavement is rough at night with little lights on. The bathroom doesn't have a fan, and the window doesn't have a mosquito net...not a good combination! The room gets light from the glass door only, which is in front of the passage to other rooms....so most of the time you keep it closed and there is no sunlight.

- Janet (10/5): Charming rustic room with private bathroom that offers a pool and parking in a great location. - The location with rare parking facility meant this was a convenient stay for a couple of nights. Sabina and her husband are fabulous. Their restaurant is conveniently situated next door offering lots of choices for dinner. The perfect hosts! Our personal preference is to have more kitchen appliances, IE no Kettle only a coffee machine is available.
Breakfast is not provided so stock up before you arrive.

- Michalak (10/5): - This place is a gem! The view is absolutely stunning, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the scenery. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a beautiful location!
- Richard (8/5): Charmant endroit. Matelas devrait être changé. - Très bien situé. Accueil chaleureux et sympathique. Restaurant excellent. Belle chambre. Le matelas devrait être changé. Les oreillers en mousse…plus en 2025

- Ihor (7/5): Good -
- Kellie (9/5): Loved our stay here. - Sabina was a great host, very welcoming. Room was a good size with very comfortable bed & spacious bathroom. Terrace had a lovely view towards the Boboli gardens & city. The hosts own the restaurant nextdoor & have free parking behind it. Didn’t use the pool but it looked really nice. It’s a 25 min walk downhill to the Ponte Vecchio, but a killer of an uphill walk back! There are buses that stop near the accommodation though.
- Hayley (10/5): Beautiful location, close to Florence and wonderful host! - Beautiful property and super close to Florence for a walk in. Sabine was so so helpful and a great host and helped us with getting into Florence and other tips. Nothing!
- Solveig (10/5): Exceptional - 3 days in Paradis
Sabina, the host, is so sweet and kind — her service went beyond our expectations. The room was beautiful and clean, with a nice bathroom and a bathtub, and the bed was amazing. The pool area and garden are stunning, with a lovely view. If we could, we would give this place 100 stars ✨
The restaurant is amazing too! If we go back to Florence, we will definitely stay here again.
Thank you 🙏🏻

- Ionela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ioannis (10/5): Exceptional - The room is big with fantastic gardens and amazing views. Also there is private parking for your car.
- Deniz (6/5): Pleasant - Location and free parking area She don’t allow us to use kitchen and put nescafe classic in room . There is small fridge in the middle of room .
- Jackie (9/5): Perfect - Ideal location breakfast was not available excellent evening meal and very good customer service. Nothing
- Hetty (1/5): Avoid at all costs! - Honestly disappointed by our booking host. Upon arrival we had no other option than to go somewhere else due to the circumstances we were put in. Please be careful to pay upfront with this accommodation, you will not get your money back. I had an extremely disappointing experience at Dimora Machiavelli. Upon arrival, we were met with a closed gate and no one present to assist us. Communication with the owner was frustratingly poor; we were initially told we could check in by 5 PM at the latest, but it ended up being 9 PM before we finally got access.
When we did enter to put our bags away, we were shocked to find our room in the basement—dark, windowless, and smelling strongly of mold. To make matters worse, the cleaning lady let us into a dirty room and suggested we leave our luggage in an abandoned house until later, with no clear idea of when it would be ready. This made us feel unsafe and unwelcome.
Feeling unfairly treated, we decided to leave immediately and were forced to find alternative accommodation. The owner showed no interest in reaching a fair resolution or acknowledging our concerns, and we had to pay the full price for all the nights without ever staying there.
We cannot recommend this place to anyone, especially during the winter months when health issues may arise due to poor ventilation and isolation.
- Maria (10/5): Amazing stay in Florence - The property is beautiful. The landscaping with its trees and flowers, and the views over the mountains were stunning. The room is spacious, bed comfortable, very nice bathroom.
Sabina was the perfect hostess, and her lovely husband looked after us too, bringing us grapes from the market and giving us a glass of wine on arrival.
- Stephen (6/5): Lack of attention to detail to grounds and pool and lack of kitchen facilities - Lovely setting and location Garden overgrown , pool area appeared neglected and needed cleaning .
Heavy bed pulled away from wall but no head board.
Lacking facilities with no plates at all for food and only two knives and one teaspoon provided.
- Helen (10/5): Lovely place to stay with beautiful views of Florence - Fantastic host. Beautiful views and lots of different places to sit and enjoy them. So peaceful. Free parking and walkable into the centre....although more strenuous on the way back. Nothing.
- Stacey (10/5): Would definitely stay there again! - The location is perfect. The accommodations are in a wonderful area, quiet and peaceful. The pool is wonderful…… A special treat after sightseeing You’re within a mile of walking distance to everything that you want to see in Florence. The proprietors were so helpful. Explained how to take the bus, helped me find the train station, gave me lots of suggestions, and helped me retrieve my luggage! I would certainly go back. I had a beautiful room with my own sunroom and my own terrace. The Early morning view of the sunrise over Florence was so peaceful and so relaxing. I sometimes just sat there for hours. And, an added bonus….. the food in the restaurant was delicious! N/a
- Laura (10/5): Wonderful - Excellent area, so beautiful - 15 min walk to town
Lovely pool, lovely accommodation
Extremely friendly owners - very welcoming Nothing
- Karolina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (9/5): Superb - The location was amazing,near Florence,20 mins walk. Sabina our host accommodating beyond belief.resturant owed by her family too .food amazing too.well worth going for a countryside villa within a city. Newly opened so no air con. Sabina told us that was being installed next week.. not on a flat level around the villa to the poolor too and from entrance,so maybe elderly or disabled may struggle.with this particular villa
.Could have done with tea making facilities within the room, rather than going out( even though just next to door )to conservatory,
