Il Colle di Sotto is an attractive villa situated at the top of a hillside with panoramic views over the valley below. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, yet only 3km from the FI-PI-LI highway. The town of Montelupo Fiorentino famed for its ceramic production is only 3km away. Also the cities of Florence at 15km and Pisa at 45km are also within easy reach.
There is a beautiful infinity swimming pool a few metres away from the villa with steps and a path leading down to it. The pool has a hydro massage section in one corner and internal steps lead down into the main pool. The area around the pool is paved and is furnished with sun loungers and chairs. There is a covered gazebo providing welcome shade from the heat of the day.
The front door to this split level villa opens directly into the kitchen with its terracotta tiled floors and traditional high beamed and tiled ceiling. The feature arched window above the entrance door allows light to flood into the building giving a spacious airy feel to the property.
The well equipped kitchen has an oven with gas hobs, a microwave oven, dishwasher, fridge with freezer section and a washing machine. There are mosquito screens in the kitchen and dining area.
To the left hand side of the kitchen a door leads into bedroom one. This room has terracotta tiled flooring and a beamed and tiled ceiling. There is a double bed with iron bed frame, a large wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with shower.
To the right of the stairs, steps lead down to the second bedroom with a bathroom with shower next door. The bedroom has a double bed with wrought iron bed frame and an exposed brickwork feature wall. Clever treatment of the area under the stairs has made the most of the space for storage. Double French doors open out to the rear of the property with fantastic views over the countryside.
A tiled staircase with iron handrail leads from the kitchen up to the lounge area. This is a comfortably furnished area with sofas, one of which is a double sofabed arranged around the large feature open fireplace.
There is a TV with some satellite channels, a DVD player and CD system.
Internet WI-FI available in the villa for free. Please bring your own laptop.
Outside there is a terrace area, furnished with dining table and chairs. There is a very large sunshade which can be opened as required when dining 'al fresco'.
To the left of the property is a covered parking area for two cars. The nearest railway station is Montelupo Fiorentino (about 5 km away) which is well connected to Pisa, Siena and Florence.
Small pets are welcome to stay at Colle di Sotto. If you wish to bring a pet, please contact us with the type of animal, how many and its breed BEFORE a booking is made. Dogs must be kept on a leash (the garden is unfenced) and are allowed to all the public areas with the strict exception of the swimming pool area. Owners are reminded that it is their responsibility to maintain the good condition of the house and gardens when they bring a pet with them. An extra charge must be paid directly on arrival.
A lovely villa ideal for families. A cot and a highchair are available at the property. Ask for them when booking.
There are ceiling fans in both bedrooms and in the mezzanine floor.

The owner has informed us that a plumber was called to investigate the comments about mould in the bathroom. They reported that there was no mould present but that the silicone in the shower had become discoloured over time. This has now all been renewed and refreshed.

Die Aussicht, die Lage.
Vermieterin war sehr freundlich.
Haus war zu Beginn kalt und feucht. Die Kosten für die Heizung sind ungewöhnlich hoch. Eine Dusche zeigte deutliche Schimmelränder. Ein Schlafraum schien ungereinigt. WiFi hat nicht funktioniert.

Unfortunately, the house was colder and seemed damp because of the rain in the days before arrival. The owner immediately heated the house to help the situation. The cost of electricity can be significantly higher in Italy and is charged by consumption. The owner has checked the wifi again and all is working as it should.

Hartelijk ontvangst en er stond een fles wijn en vers fruit klaar. Prachtig huis met wijds uitzicht, met oog voor detail ingericht en voorzien van alles wat je maar nodig zou kunnen hebben. Heerlijk zwembad met veel privacy. Veel ruimte tot je beschikking, omdat je ook verder naar beneden kunt lopen de olijfboomgaard in (heerlijke ochtendwandeling met onze hond). De gastvrouw heeft ons ook nog verrast met Tiramisu die erg lekker was.
Voor ons was het geen probleem, maar het pad naar het huis toe zou door de fikse kuilen en keien voor sommige auto's lastig kunnen zijn.
Ik had kookles voor 2 personen aangevraagd en dat zou € 90 p.p. kosten, bij aankomst bleek het € 120 p.p. te zijn. Dat vond ik op zijn zachts gezegd teleurstellend.

Lucca is authentiek en niet al te toeristisch (lees: druk).
Tenuta San Vito (restaurant) in Montelupo Fiorentino is een echte aanrader. Hooggelegen en dus prachtig uitzicht. Als je rond zonsondergang daar heen rijd met het mooie licht is ook de rit er naar toe de moeite waard. Heerlijk gegeten incl de San Vito wijn en olijfolie, tegen een zacht prijsje.

Apologies for any confusion - the cost of the cooking class per person is €90. The price of €120 was quoted when a request was made for a cooking class for one but to serve two people to eat. The price for that would be €120. Hope that helps.

A very good location, close to transport links and other amenities. Il Colle di Sotto is a very well converted barn with all the comforts you could want and a beautiful swimming pool into the bargain! A most relaxing home.

Loved the decor and the setting was beautiful - surrounded by olive groves.
The optional extras - such as the starter pack, having a meal cooked for us one night and the cooking course - were of excellent quality and value for money.
I didn't realise that there was another house on the site and that we would not be totally by ourselves - in the end this didn't spoil anything but would have been good to know.
The pool was quite cold - not sure if a pool cover would help with that. But then again I am only too happy to lie back on the sun loungers so again this wasn't a big problem.
We couldn't quite figure out how to get the tv working but to be fair we didn't try that hard - but perhaps some instructions on how to pick up local channels may help.

We went to San Vito for wine tasting, which was a really great afternoon out - but do be prepared that it is a long drive up a winding road (we got a bit worried that we'd missed it!).
If you like Leonardo da Vinci, the museum of his scientific endeavours and his birthplace are very close in nearby Vinci.
I loved the 'ceramics' walk in Montelupo, which took us right up on to the hilltop with stunning views, and it felt very private too.
If you just want to lie back and relax and unwind, as we did, then really, why leave the villa much - I can absolutely recommend the cooking course and the cooked dinner.

The owner's house is on the same estate but the pool and gardens are private to the rental villa.
