Valecchio, Pontassieve - Florence
Valecchio is a spacious villa for six sharing, a super place to bring together friends or family for a memory-making holiday. Not only does it have a homely feel, it is also truly flexible, split between a main villa and a semi-detached apartment, so might just present the perfect solution if you’re travelling with grandparents or older children.
From the moment you step into the open-plan living area in the main lounge, with its herringbone-pattern terracotta tiles, beamed ceilings and exposed sections of stone wall, you will begin to appreciate the villa’s truly authentic Tuscan vibe.
The initial warm impression, created by the stone facade, which is part-painted in striking yellows and blues, is enhanced inside by the soft colours in the décor and the well-chosen antique-style furniture. The lounge is oriented to take in the rural views, with furniture positioned to overlook an utValecchioterly bucolic landscape, framed by a valley and mountains and enhanced by a babbling brook. Outside, the huge garden can feel like your own private nature reserve, with mature trees, shrubs and the enchanting remnants of an 11th-century mill. You can choose from two furnished terraces for dinner: one covered by a gazebo; another outside the attached apartment. Both have superlative views, as does the private pool. From here on the raised pool terrace, the scene is truly spectacular, a panorama of mighty wooded hills tumbling into the valley below.

Our Thoughts
Valecchio has a comfy, warm and welcoming feel. You will be charmed by stylish touches such as the exposed sections of stone and the antique bedstead with its padded headboard. The views of the Chianti countryside are simply stunning, even from the properties, thanks to generously-sized windows. We love the well-tended garden, too, with its mature cypress trees and outbuildings mantled in foliage. Should you wish to explore the countryside you will find the popular town of Rufina just a short drive away. But if you’re dining at home, feel free to top up your larder from the vegetables and fruit growing in the garden.
Notes

Een prachtig villa op een bijzondere locatie. Als je gaat voor volledige rust op niveau dan zit je hier op het juiste adres.
Een warme ontvangst door padrona Maria en haar dochter Maria. We werden opgewacht met heerlijke locale lekkernijen.
De accomodatie bestaat uit een luxe studio grenzend aan het 15e eeuwse woonhuis van de eigenaresse, en een prachtig separate casa. Hierin de keuken met alle apperatuur, 2 slaapkamers en badkamer.
Alle handdoeken lagen klaar, inclusief de badlakens smorgen op de prachtige ligbedden bij het zwembad. De bedden waren opgemaakt met luxe beddengoed. Alles werd halverwege keurig verwisseld.
Het heerlijke zwembad was gesitueerd in een prachtige, enorme Toscaanse tuin, haast park. Alles met grote passie onderhouden door Maria. Een waar sprookje!
Wij waren met 6 volwassen personen. De Casa biedt iedereen een ruime mate van privacy. Je loopt elkaar niet voor de voeten door de enorme tuinen met vele terrassen.
De eigenaresse woont grenzend aan Casa Valecchio en doet er alles aan om haar gasten een optimaal verblijf te geven. Ze is zelf zeer bescheiden en altijd op de achtergrond, maar enorm behulpzaam daar waar gewenst.
Om Casa Velecchio te bereiken moet je de laatste kilometers door de bergen via een onverharde weg. Maar dat is het verblijf op deze onvoorstelbaar mooie locatie meer dan waard!
Als we dan toch iets kritisch moeten noemen dan waren het de muggen, maar daar ontkwam je in Toscane niet aan. En om het positief af te sluiten: in alle kamers waren anti-muggen sprays terug te vinden :)
Florence is in een klein uurtje bereibaar. Prachtige stad, veel te zien en heerlijke restaurantjes. Ook Pisa en Vinci zijn prachtige steden die in de omgeving te bewonderen zijn. Maar genieten rondom onze Casa was absoluut geen straf :)
