The Frantoio delle Grazie

This was a fantastic place to stay. The apartment was clean, well equipped and in a superb location. We loved the pool and the peace and quiet! We made this trip with 2 teenagers- the twin room was lovely for them- and we had a spacious master bedroom and kitchen diner. We had a small hob for cooking and a microwave/grill, toaster and coffee machine. The bathroom was clean with a good shower. The apartment had good air con - for a 10E/night surcharge, which we felt was reasonable as we put it to good use in the Aug heat- we had 40deg C when we arrived- but was able to have a cool apartment. The pool was fantastic to cool down in/beside. The pool was salt water, and clean which was also good as we didnt come out with everything smelling of chlorine! The host Simone was very pleasant and easy to deal with - questions were answered quickly via WhatsApp- and he came to help when we couldn't figure something out. We managed well without a car- a #14 bustop was about a 15-20 min walk away with direct busses every 10 mins into the centre of Florence (took about 20 mins to SMN station). bus tickets very easy via an App. Good local restaurants (recommend Pizzaman). Large local supermarket (Essenlunga) was a 20 min walk on an easy flat road- again possible without a car. Beautiful views of Tuscan countryside- very quiet and calm at night. Beds were comfortable, towels etc provided. Apartment was secure and the area seemed very safe to explore. We had no worries arriving back late after day trips to Venice (2hr 10s) and Rome (2hr 15). Book trains via TrenItalia app 36hrs ahead to get the Freccafamily discounted tickets. Buses were very clean/safe/obvious how to use- we tried the local train station once- but it didn't seem straightforward. Water in appt was safe and clean to drink.

We stayed two nights in the apartment Limone, it was an amazing experience! We wish we could have stayed longer. Simone is definitely a great host, very friendly and helpful. The apartment is very fresh, without AC is not a problem at all! The pool is beautiful! Highly recommend

Very nice place outside of Florence. With the bus it takes about 10-20 minutes to get to the center of the city. There is a parking lot, a swimming pool and free WiFi. I realy enjoyed my stay at the residence.
