The apartment was accurately described. Clean with a nice view. Lorenzo and his family were incredibly warm. They run a very nice restaurant and Lorenzo went out of his way to make us feel comfortable.

Our stay in this house in April 2013 was very nice. The house is beautiful, freshly renovated, it has a fully equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. The bathroom is large with a washing machine. From the apartment you have a beautiful landscape to Florence and otherside to valley of Arno. The little village is close to Florence and Greve in... More

I spent a week there in January 2013 and was very happy with our option: the apartment is located on a hill, above the clouds, very confortable, warm, in a peaceful neighbourhood, with everything one needs to feel at home. It was wonderful to wake up looking at the valley below from our balcony. Our hosts are the most adorable... More

We are family with two kids and have stayed in Cipresso apartment located on the second floor with huge terrace with wonderful view on the valley and Florence. The apartment is clean and well equipped (the only missing was washing machine). We had everything to fill like at home and not in a hotel. The location is great if you... More

The apartment is clean, efficient and wonderfully quiet. Compared to the crush of people throughout Tuscany, the Becattini family has provided a lovely retreat out of the way yet close enough to visit all of the sites on your list. Great value, hospitable hosts, and outstanding views make these apartments 5 stars.

We just returned from staying here in apartment Il Cipresso. I agree with all of the other wonderful reviews about how welcoming and loving the Becattini family are. The apartment is basic but very functional and large with two bedrooms and all the facilities for cooking and the best view of Florence. The restaurant is lovely and so close to... More

We were travelling with our son in Italy for three weeks and this was by far our favourite spot. Lorenzo and his family went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The town of Poggio alla Croce is very small and quiet and the views are fantastic. Amenities such as groceries, train station and restaurants are 7 Kim's... More

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Apartmenti Il Castagno--Lorenzo and his family made us feel so welcome. Lorenzo explained the surrounding areas and sites for us to see and gave us a highlighted map. He made our trip so easy. We were a party of 4 and really enjoyed the spacious apartment, comfortable beds, fully outfitted kitchen (although we... More

Lorenzo and his family were very helpful and welcoming. We were a party of 4 adults and loved the apartment and the views. The place is as advertised, large and comfortable and a nice place to stay. Clothes washer a BIG plus! I recommend hiking up Poggio alla Croce for the views and eating I'm Lorenzo's family's restaurant for the... More
