Bernardo Dionisio
Hallo from Tuscany!!
My name is Bernardo. I manage this holiday house in recent years and I love this activity because I have the possibility to meet different people from all over the world. I try to act like a host more than an owner and try to give people their independence.
I use to give some advices about the area, things to see, where to eat for diner or buy wines and other products of our area.
I like to prepare marmelade, olive oil, honey and a small vegetable garden from wich i give some products to our host.
Best wishes to all and Come to find me in Toscana

Holiday house La Favilletta is in a very strategic position, only 20 km far from Florence, but immersed in the typical Tuscan countryside, surrounded by a peaceful and silent atmosphere. From the windows of our apartments, from the terraces you have the opportunity to admire beautiful panoramic views over the river Arno valley and the Florentine hills.
Our three self-catering apartments (that can host 7,4 or 2 people, or 13 if rented together), all have equipped kitchen and private outdoor terraces, perfect for holidays in our charming countryside. Apartments are surrounded by a large garden in which a green area with pool was prepared, with gazebo and outdoor furniture.
The advantage of this house is that is isolated and silent but, at the same time, really close to Florence and within easy reach of Sienna, Arezzo and the Chianti region. In the nearby, in the villages of Pontassieve or Rignano (both 10 Min. by car), you have all the principles services: supermarkets, shops, banks, railway station (with lot of connections to Florence central station, five minutes walking from the Duomo), markets, restaurants and many others.
There are lots of things to do when you are at the house: it can be funny to take some walks in the green paths with vineyards and olive trees beside you (walking or riding the bicycles that you can find at the house), or "picking" vegetables directly from the garden, or discover ancient villas and romantic churches in the close old wine road of Chianti Rufina and Pomino full off cellars where you can taste the typical local red wine.
The surrounding are very interesting. Florence is at 20 km and you can reach it easily with car or by train in 20 minutes from the station of Pontassieve that is a village 5 km far from the house.
During the high season (15 june - end of august) the rentals are from saturday to saturday, the other period it's possible to rent in other periods.
