"Pros: Waking up to a great breakfast, making a short drive to Florence, spending all day there, returning to enjoy the pool with views, dining at the nextdoor Trattoria La Casa del Prosciutto, relaxing in well decorated clean airy room, turning off air con and enjoying the fresh hillside breeze overnight. All helped by the very kind owners, thank you!
Cons: Slippery floor in the bathroom" ~Alexey
"Pros: I will say up front that when booking this stay, I should have realized how important having a car would be to enjoying this wonderful property. Although it is not far from Florence, it is also not within a comfortable walk to the nearest bus stop. And taxis, as we found out, are not keen to drive up the unpaved road which serves as a long driveway to this picturesque estate. Now, with that advisory out of the way . . .
By the time we finally got a taxi in busy Florence, we arrived at the Agriturismo in the late afternoon - early evening, and our hostess Silvia, surprised we got there without our own car, asked if we had eaten yet. When she heard we hadn’t had time, she offered to make us each a plate, which is exceptional since they are accustomed to provide breakfast, but do not have dinner menu. So we were treated to a delicious light supper on the patio with a beautiful sunset view of the Tuscan countryside.
Our room was so spacious and comfortable, we thought we were in a place out of our range.
The next day, after a tasty breakfast of local cheeses, home-made breads, cakes, and jams, Silvia gave us a ride to the bus stop so we could visit and explore the nearby town of Fiesole. After exploring the village for a while, we decided we were so close to Florence, we had to take a taxi back and visit there one more time. Later that evening, we caught a cab back to the villa.
On our final final morning there, we met Silvia’s husband Eric, who told us more about the property. Not only is Agriturismo Villa Di Campolungo a wonderful rural Tuscan bed and breakfast, but a successful working Olive Farm. In fact, they were preparing for the annual harvest in just a couple days. Eric told us about the uniquely high anti-oxidant content in their olive oil owing to the short time duration between harvest and processing.
Cons: SINCE I HAVE EXCEEDED THE ALLOWED CHARACTER LIMIT IN THE SPACE FOR DESIGNATED FOR WRITING ABOUT "WHAT DID YOU LIKE?" - I AM USING THIS SPACE TO FINISH WRITING MY POSITVE COMMENTS:
Eric and Silvia are exceptionally helpful hosts who are dedicated to the quality of the experiences of their guests. On our departure, we purchased several of the products of the farm, including olive oil, and soaps. As a final huge favor, Eric gave us a ride to the train station in Caldine. He made sure we had the right tickets, and literally walked us to the platform.
We can’t thank Eric and Silvia enough. And we highly recommend renting a car, and spending a few days at Agriturismo Villa Di Campolungo." ~Rod
