What a perfect stay... La Fonte del Machiavelli, and Simone perfectly delivered everything we imagined Tuscany would be. A perfect experience and we could be happier. Simone was available to help us with anything we needed... and let me tell you, he makes a mean cappuccino. Thank you so much!

Great place and the host is a kind person. Situated amongst the hills at the end of a rocky and steep path. Lovely pool! The cleaning was done daily with new towels. Breakfast was the same every day and gets boring after a day or two. Make sure upon booking with children that you specify ages correctly to prevent additional fees.

The answer from the host:
Good evening, thank you for your review, I do not understand, in all portals it is reported that children under 04 do not pay, over 04 pay a supplement of €. 25.00 which includes a single bed, breakfast and everything else in the B&B, the price you had was for a double room for two people, the B&B.it portal told me that you hadn't entered children over 04 years old and for this reason the price was for a double room, we don't want to deceive anyone, we are here to work and we try to do things as correctly as possible. Best regards Simone Calonaci

Great quality breakfast with eggs, which are hard to find in Italian breakfast. Host speaks little English, so a bit difficult to communicate. Property is very beautiful and quaint. Room is standard and small bathroom.

manuela
It has a fantastic location and excellent conditions to rest. The pool has a surrounding with a beautiful countryside. The delicious breakfast served on the terrace with tranquility and an overview of the poetic Tuscany. With a very remarkable historical reference, because during Niccolò Machiavelli's exile in 1513, the book "The Prince" was probably written in his family house near this farm. Manuela.

Magnificent place, very well maintained, with perfect hospitality. Only the dirt access road deserves improvement. But once arrived, it is only happiness. We had a wonderful stay in the heart of Tuscany and we wish to be able to return soon. An address to keep and to share.

Bonjour, je m'excuse pour le retard dans la réponse, merci pour l'examen, il est juste en bas de la rue a été une longue pratique commune qui nous a donné aucune chance de le fixer définitivement, rendant le travail continu sans avoir à rien parce que c'était juste un «averse revint pire qu'avant, maintenant que nous avons résolu le problème, après 7 ans de la ville nous a donné la permission de faire la route en béton avec un grain de couleur jaune, rendant la manière la plus appropriée de faire une promenade pittoresque, et parcourue par voiture ou vélo en toute sécurité avec des voitures à faible ou vélo de rue. Cordialement, Simone Calonaci.

Characteristic Bed and Breakfast immersed in the green Tuscan olive groves. The view from where breakfast is served is wonderful. Great location for those who need to visit Florence or other nearby areas. Simone is kind and discreet. The only flaw is the poorly maintained garden and outdoor area in general.

A fabulous place, immersed in greenery, peace, tranquility, ideal for resting. The owner very kind, helpful. We felt very good and comfortable. I would like to make a suggestion to improve even more, that is, I would put kettles for water and cups and some tea bags to give even more comfort to the guests. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Too bad we only stayed one night and one morning! Only downside, but very forgivable, the breakfast: we expected something local, but otherwise a fairy tale.

We stayed at the magnificent structure, in contact with nature. Upon our arrival, we found excellent hospitality from the owner, who immediately made us feel at ease. What can I say, the room was very clean and the breakfast in the morning plentiful. We will definitely come back.

Very nice and welcoming place. Manager always available. The only flaw is that the road is very bumpy in some points.

Buona sera, grazie per il Vostro apprezzamento, la strada sarà risistemata all'apertura della cava della ghiaia, purtroppo con i temporali sempre più forti diventa difficile in Agosto che sono tutti chiusi tenere la strada sterrata al meglio. Cordiali Saluti Simone Calonaci.

Geographically the place is beautiful: tranquility guaranteed and magnificent view. The infrastructures need to be refreshed (shower, poor lighting, fridge in the room that doesn't work, so-so pool). The owner not very talkative. He was not there when I arrived and no one was available at the entrance.

Beautiful farmhouse in the heart of Chianti. A bit hard to find but, once you arrive, you can't help but be enthusiastic about it.

We stayed at La Fonte del Machiavelli for two nights and we had a great time. The location of the property is surrounded by greenery, facing vineyards and with a view of the valley. The garden is very well maintained and it's a pleasure to take a stroll in it. The property exudes an atmosphere of an ancient farmhouse and history, well narrated by the manager. The cleanliness is truly top-notch, from the towels to the fresh scent in the rooms upon return. If we were to return to the area, it will always be the first place we look for.

Excellent bed and breakfast located in a fantastic position, just 10 kilometers from Florence. The only suggestion is to make the access road to the bed and breakfast more passable for all types of cars; otherwise, notify that the path is a bit rough and a low car has great difficulty not scraping the bottom numerous times. It would only take adding gravel to the holes and making everything a little more uniform. Otherwise, it is impeccable without any kind of observation or advice.
stayed from 03/01/2013 to 03/03/2013
The answer from the host:
Buon giorno, mi scuso per il ritardo nella risposta, grazie per la recensione, ha ragione per la strada è stata una lunga pratica comunale che non ci dava la possibilità di sistemarla in modo definitivo, facendo continui lavori senza arrivare a niente perché appena veniva un'acquazzone ritornava peggio di prima, oggi abbiamo risolto il problema, dopo 7 anni il comune ci ha dato il permesso di fare la strada in cemento con graniglia colorata gialla, rendendo la strada adatta per fare una passeggiata panoramica, e percorribile in macchina o in moto in tutta sicurezza anche con macchine basse o moto da strada. Cordiali Saluti, Simone Calonaci.
sandra
The room was clean, cozy, and spacious enough. Breakfast was good, but the same every day. We stayed here for 4 days, a bit of variety would have been nice. The space around the house and the pool looks a bit untidy. The garden is not well maintained. The owner is very friendly and gave a good tip on how to take the bus to Florence from Tavarnuzze. Great base to visit Florence, among other things.
stayed from 08/24/2018 to 08/28/2018

Goede avond, ik dank u voor uw vriendelijkheid. Vriendelijke groeten, Simone Calonaci.
