Authentic country house originally a convent, dates back to around the year 1000

One hour from Florence, Siena, Pisa, Volterra and half an hour from San Gimignano and Vinci.
The Canonica delle rondini, originally a convent, dates back to around the year 1000. It is located at Poggio al Cielo in Castelfiorentino, immersed in the beautiful hills of the Tuscan countryside not far from the ancient route of the Via Francigena, a place of transit for pilgrims and wayfarers heading to Rome from northern Europe during the Middle Ages. Castelfiorentino is a small town located in an area rich in natural and historical itineraries. It is an excellent starting point for visiting the most important cities of art by train or by car in about an hour. The centre of the village is also easily accessible on foot (about 3 km), where you can find supermarkets, shops and restaurants and a large open-air market every Saturday morning. Also nearby are the beautiful golf courses of Castelfalfi. Famous spas and the Tuscan coast are a couple of hours' drive away.
The owners live in a part of the house on the ground floor, with an independent entrance and garden, so that guests can enjoy complete privacy. They are however always available for any information or advice.
THE POOL AREA
The swimming pool is private and reserved exclusively for guests of the house.
It is located a few metres from the main garden of the house. You can reach the pool by going down a short flight of tufa steps or alternatively by a pathway among the olive trees. There are two areas shaded by wisteria and roses, an outdoor shower, tables with chairs and relaxing armchairs from which one can admire a beautiful panorama and enjoy splendid sunsets.
THE HOUSE
All the windows are fitted with mosquito nets, there is no air conditioning but we have fans in every room. It is equipped with crockery, linen and free Wi-Fi.
On the ground floor there is a large dining room/kitchen, equipped with all appliances, induction hob, electric oven, microwave, a large fridge with freezer, dishwasher and washing machine outside. It is divided by a large central fireplace that overlooks the inner garden, furnished with a table for outdoor dining and a barbecue area. At the far end of the garden is a terrace that is covered with white roses in May and from which one can enjoy the incredible landscape and in the morning have breakfast as the sun rises.
THE CELLAR
Recently we also opened to guests the cellar, the ancient core of the house, dug into the tuff. Here you can still see part of the tunnel that led to the first Pieve in the nucleus of Castelfiorentino (the word "Pieve" means a rural church with a baptistery). Today a chapel remains, built on its thousand-year-old foundations in the 17th century.
In the cellar we store the oil produced from our olive trees, we have wines from the area and other products that we select for our guests.

What our guests say!
Tuscany at its best... We stayed for the month of May. The flowers were in full bloom. The house is centrally located to the main attractions in Tuscany. It is an easy train ride into Florence. Marilia was very helpful in organizing our wine tours and cooking classes (which were held at the villa). The house is well stocked with everything you would need to cook fantastic meals or sit on the deck drinking a glass of wine. The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular and will not be forgotten. The house is equipped with screens on all the windows making opens windows possible. We enjoyed the pool with covered deck as the temperatures heated up. Overall, we had a fantastic month!!!

Wonderful! We had two great weeks in La Canonica. The house is a typical Tuscany building furnished with much care and breathing local colour. Marilia was a really friendly and helpful host. She lives on the premises but you hardly see her, but whenever we had questions or needed help she was there right away.

Relax in a peaceful serene setting! We really enjoyed our stay at Marilia’s home. This is the quintessential Tuscany house built centuries ago on a monastery. It is a large home with everything that you need to relax in a peaceful serene setting with family or friends. The two highlights of our stay were the spectacular views from the terrace and the warm welcome from Marilia!

Countryside authentic and cozy home. This house in the countryside outside Castelfiorentino is the perfect location from which to explore Tuscany! The house itself is old-style but very authentic, clean and well kept! It is spacious and the kitchen has plenty of amenities! Marilia is also a super-great host! Communication was smooth and she was passionate in recommending activities to do in the surroundings!
I would highly recommend an aperitivo/dinner at Chiosco ai Renai - you don’t even need a car, it takes 15 mins walking between beautiful fields of olives tree.

Beautiful place and a very friendly and helpful host. Authentic Tuscan farmhouse with no frills. Lovely views all round, especially from the terrace. Excellent bar/ restaurant within walking distance. It was very hot when we were there, so the location of the pool across the road was a problem. Otherwise,great.

Amazing Stay
We spent our last week of our 3 weeks in Italy in Marila’s home and are so happy we did! The location was fantastic, the home was perfect for us and Marilia was a warm and gracious host. We asked her to help with booking a chef to come in to teach a class, a wine tour and restaurant suggestions and all were fantastic. We would love to go back again!!

Mød det rigtige Toscana og få pulsen helt ned og nyd naturen og det miljø omkring stedet. Meget autentisk toscansk hus med god plads i værelserne. Godt miljø udendørs og omkring swimmingpoolen. Meget behjælpelig værtinde som bor ved siden af og spørge løbende indtil om alt er ok. Super ophold lige som vi havde forventet og lidt til.

Perfect Host, property and location!
Marilia is a very welcoming and kind host. Her house is charming, very comfortable, full of character, with plenty of lovely crafted furtniture. Situated on the ridge of a hill it has fantastic views of the Tuscan countryside. Even though the property is clearly very old, the house is well kept and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The rooms are airy, the bathrooms never run out of warm water and even without air conditioning the fans and evening breeze make the stay enjoyable in the summer months. The house has two outstanding highlights: a terrace on the cliff with unforgetable sunrise views and a pool with a sun deck and lovely shaded area for relaxation. It is necessary to have a good car to get up the hill but getting around the region from Castelfiorentino is very easy. There are also multiple train options from the city and it is defintely worth it to visit some of the villages in the area. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay in Castelfiorentino and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil get-away in beautiful surroundings. Thank you, Marilla and Best Regards Pawel and Family

Heaven in the Tuscan countryside!
A true Tuscan villa - historical, simple, and boasting amazing views. Everywhere you look is natural beauty. We loved staying here! Marilia is a phenomenal host! She made us an incredible lasagna dinner with appetizers and drinks upon arrival. She helped us planning day trips. The pool a wonderful relaxing feature we used often. Lots of places to lounge and read. We went on hikes and enjoyed the local vineyards. It’s centrally located so the best of Tuscany was 30 minutes to an hour away. Totally understand why this property is booked way in advance. We loved staying here and will come back.

The pool was enjoyed by all, especially my 14 year old grandson.It is an easy train ride to Florence and close to many wonderful towns in Tuscany. Best of all was Marilia.She is the most kind and accommodating host we have had the pleasure to meet. She answered my many questions prior to our trip and set us up with a cooking class I highly recommend . Our family loved it. It was one of the best parts of our trip. We will cherish all the memories made at Marilias villa. gracie mille ,

Authentic Italian Stay
We had a great 5 days in tuscany, shame the weather wasn’t onside for the last few days. The outside restaurant near to the villa was lovely, great food and great views. The 5 course dinner cooked by a chef for our special anniversary was arranged by the host and it was fantastic. The extra special touches were really thoughtful and thoroughly appreciated. We had a lovely evening. Thank you Marilia for being a lovely host. It was nice to meet you and stay at your place.

Lovely, homey stay
Marilia and her home were delightful. She was helpful and kind. Our children loved the quirky old home and the views were amazing. Castelfiorentino is a simple bedroom community with not much going on, but it’s a great location for being central to Florence, Pisa, Lucca and San Gimigiano. The local grocery store had amazing produce. We took the wine tasting tour and it was a highlight of the trip. Lucca, also, was wonderful for walking around and shopping for beautiful Italian goods at a great price. Getting around Florence was tricky and we don’t recommend the buses but the trains are simple to figure out.

We would all rate her 100 out of 100 if they’d let us. She even set up an Italian cooking class for us in the home!!! She even helped arrange transportation from the train station to her home.

The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some meals at home. We also had several fantastic evenings at Chisco ai Renai. Marilia was a perfect host: responsive to everything we needed and had a great book of recommendations.

Perfect Stay in Tuscany
My family and I (8 members, ages 25+ to 60+) had a wonderful stay at Marilia's villa and were sorry when the vacation ended. We all welcomed the relaxing atmosphere provided by Marilia and her family. Some highlights: 1. The cooking class: Marilia arranged for a local chef and her staff to teach us to prepare a typical Tuscan meal that included several appetizers, pasta, chicken cacciatore and dessert. Everyone enjoyed the lessons and the meal immensely. 2. The location: The views in the pictures provided in the booking are only exceeded by the reality. It was a treat to enjoy coffee and breakfast from the same spot shown in the booking photo. The villa is a short drive to town and perfectl or day trips. Our group went to Florence, San Gimignano, Siena, and Montelpulciano, although Pisa, Lucca, and Livorno are also within an hour's drive. 3. The atmosphere: Although we had an ambitious itinerary planned for each day of our stay in Castelfiorentino, we found that we enjoyed relaxing in the villa and around the pool more than driving to another city. 4. The host: Most importantly, Marilia is the perfect host. She and I communicated several times as the trip approached and she offered several helpful suggestions, arranged the cooking class, and reservations at local restaurants. She was always available for questions, but never intrusive. Everyone enjoyed their stay in Castelfiorentino. I would definitely stay here again.

Stunning location in the Tuscan hills. We could not believe how gorgeous the vistas were from this property. Marilia was so welcoming and friendly. The gardens are beautifully kept and the private pool was well cared for. We loved the huge space this property gave our party of 8 including 4 children 10 and under. The photos give you a good idea of what to expect. The kitchen area was really well equipped and we were able to cook wonderful meals for our families using the delicious local Italian produce. Perfect while travelling with kids.

3 generations and a beautiful garden
The location of the property is over two valleys with lovely views from every window. The garden was our favorite place with multiple seating spots so there was always a shady spot. We spent most of our time outdoors, either in the garden or at the pool which was fantastic with multiple seating spaces and again, lovely shade if you like. The water was also perfect. Marilia is an excellent host. She made sure that we had everything for our stay. My 94 year old mother-in-law was with us and Marilia put down security tape on the stairs and made sure she was in the room with the fewest steps and even added an extra step in the pool so that she'd feel secure getting in the pool which she used daily. The kitchen was perfectly equipped. We cooked a lot and even made jam. We went on afternoon excursions to the many villages within an hour radius: Certaldo (the old town), San Gimignano, Volterra, a bit further afield San Galgano and Siena, as well as Florence (we found parking easily enough at the train station). We were delightfully surprised by the green of this part of Tuscany. I had assume dry yellow hills in August, but that was not the case at all. We also visited San Miniato, a lovely town. Over a two week period we went to the Chiosco ai Renai, an outdoor bar/restaurant five times. The food is simple and the young woman who runs the place is delightful and welcoming. It's the closest eatery to the house and it felt like home. We had not realized how many steps there were in the house (and all of the toilets are upstairs) so we were a bit apprehensive at first, but everything worked out beautifully. Grazie, Marilia, for everything!

100% recommend this place. Fantastic views from the garden over the classic tuscany fields. Very nice pool area also with fantastic views. Only negative thing was poor wifi signal due to the walls of stone and a couple more baking trays to the oven would be nice. Other than that very very nice house.

We had a wonderful stay at this house! Marilia is a terrific host and was always available for advice and travel tips (she stays next door) - and for us it helped that her English is excellent! The house is large and authentically Tuscan with beautiful views over the lush hills from a generous balcony and carefully landscaped gardens. The pool is a real treat in a quiet setting also with views over the vineyards and olive groves. Quiet but not isolated, the house is only 10 minutes from the bustling market town of Castelfiorentino (a car is a must) with supermarkets and a choice of restaurants. A genuine Tuscan experience for all the family - we would definitely stay again and recommend without reservation!

Amazing views from the top of the hill!
We stayed in June 2022 and couldn't have asked for a better vacation home. The location worked great for us -- easy access to the local town (by car, not walkable), main roads and the towns and sites we wanted to check out. With the house situated on a hill, morning and evening views were spectacular from different vantage points and provided a lot of privacy. Everything was well maintained inside and outside. The pool and surrounding lounge area was great and allowed us to cool off every day! There is a lot of greenery and grassy areas so beware mosquitos, depending on the time of year you visit. Shout out to Marilia for the warm welcome, friendly smile and helpful advice! We loved our stay!

This is a classic Tuscan countryside home, with the downstairs space for the kitchen and dinning area, along with access to a private patio and a deck. Upstairs (the first floor) has a large living room with couch, loveseat TV and plenty of space, the bedrooms are all separated and give everyone plenty of space and privacy. There are 3 full bathrooms all located on the first floor. The kitchen is well appointed and we enjoyed sitting on the deck every morning enjoying breakfast with a fantastic view (it is Tuscany after all!) And made a few dinners (when we didn't feel like going out) and sat in the privacy of our own patio. The pool is across from the house (there's a dirt road separating the house from the pool area - requiring maybe a 30 meter walk). We loved the quiet country setting, and Marilla our host was fantastic and quite helpful with recommendations for dining and wine tour recommendations. We used the pool almost every afternoon after returning from touring the area and prior to going out for dinner in the evening, it was a wonderful way to cool off and relax. Overall, we had a wonderful time! I will provide 2 caveats to US travelers: 1. There is no AC in the house, but there are plenty of fans and we chose to visit in September when the days were warm, but the nights cool, so it wasn't an issue for us. 2nd, there are no bug screens on the windows, so for those who are 'mosquito bait', you will want to bring some means to protect yourself...again, it wasn't a show stopper, but good to know.

Countryside authentic and cozy home
This house in the countryside outside Castelfiorentino is the perfect location from which to explore Tuscany! The house itself is old-style but very authentic, clean and well kept! It is spacious and the kitchen has plenty of amenities! Marilia is also a super-great host! Communication was smooth and she was passionate in recommending activities to do in the surroundings! Highly recommended to everyone!

La Toscane comme on l'aime
Une maison ancienne pleine de charme, une hôtesse d'une très grande gentillesse et disponibilité, la proximité de Florence, Sienne... et une piscine. Que demander de plus pour des vacances entre amis? Tutto bene!!
