IT WAS PERFECT!
Bernardo is a gracious host, he greeted us and was reachable via WhatsApp if needed.  He gave us a thorough tour of the place and facilities, and had suggestions for places to see nearby. 
He thought of everything in the apartment - a well-stocked kitchen, fluffy towels in the bathroom, the smallest details mean so much.  It is clear that he takes excellent care of the property and living space - everything is clean and maintained impeccably!
Now the space.....beautiful - charming, functional and spectacular views from every window!  The patio is where we spent much of our home time and the panoramic views of the surrounding vista were breathtaking!  
Bernardo, thank you for having us, we hope to be back again soon!

Beyond Expectations!  Perfect in every way!

We spent two glorious weeks at La Favilletta enjoying the amazing views, hot sunshine and the wonderful cities of Florence and Siena.  Florence is a short train journey away and we visited the stunning city twice, especially enjoying thel Uffitzi art gallery. It is also very interesting to visit some of the beautiful villages in the Chianti countryside, where you can taste the wine or visit one of the many little restaurants.

Bernardo was often to be found at La Faviletta tending the garden and pool, he was very friendly and helpful.  Although there are three properties at La Faviletta which share the garden and pool, we found that it was a very sociable time meeting new people from different countries and sharing a drink at the pool side together in the evening. 

La Faviletta is approached  by quite a long, rough and rocky road as mentioned in other reviews but if you drive slowly this is fine. There are also three well maintained bikes at the house which were great fun to use to explore the surrounding countryside.

Thank you Bernardo for a great holiday.

Beautiful Tuscany

Bernardo as a host, must recommend! Friendly, helpful and relaxed. Everything as promised. Rooms large and clean. Stunning views from all windows. Fantastic house and garden. Extra plus goes to pool  area, even though the water is chilly in mid may.

Marvelous pearl in the heart of Tuscany!

We spend the past two weeks at La Favilletta and it was as nice as we had hoped and dreamed of. Secluded, in total silence, no traffic, awesome views, but still not too far away from Florence, Pontassieve, Rignano for shopping and culture.

The apartment had basically everything that we needed and was, especially in regards to kitchen tools, much better equipped than any other rental apartment we visited. (Only a couple of big drinking glasses would be nice, the ones that are available, where small and it was hot, so you need to drink a lot. :-)) There were also tons of books in different languages, games and movies!

Bernardo, the keeper of the grounds was very kind, helpful and involved. Thank you for that!

Of course, as already mentioned in other reviews, for the last two kilometers to La Favilletta the road was very rough and rocky, but our Golf, fully loaded with 4 persons and luggage for two weeks could handle it. No problem, just go slow.

I can definitely recommend staying there! The only thing that you need to be aware of are the neighbors from the other two apartments, some may be nicer, some may be not. :-)

Really a dream of a holiday home...

We booked this property through homeaway.co.uk and unfortunately hadn't read the reviews here before we booked. 

Whilst the location is stunning, and the farmhouse a lovely example of type found across hillsides in Tuscany, it had some major drawbacks for us.

We didn't realise that it was a shared property and the description on the homeaway site didn't make this explicit. We were lucky that our downstairs neighbours were fairly quiet but when they were more animated in the evenings we could hear them. With 3 properties on the site, if it had been warm enough to use the gardens and pool (it isn't available until May, which we didn't know in advance) we'd have needed to make friends with our neighbours.

Our holiday was in early April when we had hoped to have good weather. Unfortunately the first 4 days of our week brought strong winds and rain. We had to pay extra for heating and despite not being in the apartment for much of the day still got through 80 Euros of gas. The heating really wasn't up to the job though and we couldn't get the apartment warm, other than the small kitchen which is where we spent most evenings, which was a shame given the huge living room. We also found that rain came through the roof and window shutters. Including through the electric extractor fan over the cooker. We reported this to the owner who was aware of the problem.

What neither the homeaway nor TripAdvisor descriptions make clear though is that the house can only be reached by driving along a 1 mile track. We had to drive extremely carefully to avoid damaging our hire car. It also meant that whilst the village of Torri with its shop/cafe was in theory close enough to walk, in reality I don't think anyone would.

So, a stunning location with breathtaking views, but I wouldn't go out of season, make sure you hire a car that can cope with rough terrain and make friends with the neighbours!
