I had the most delightful stay at Cipresso Toscano in Mercatale val di Pesa! This charming apartment, located in the heart of the scenic Chianti region, provided the perfect Tuscan countryside experience while still being just a short 20-minute drive from the center of Florence. The apartment itself was a cozy and inviting space. The large kitchen with a traditional fireplace added a touch of rustic charm, and the brand new appliances and high-speed fiber internet made it modern and convenient. The best part was that Netflix was included, so I could unwind and enjoy some shows after a day of exploring. One of my favorite features was the south-west facing terrace, where I could soak up the sun during breakfasts and lunches. The apartment was well-equipped and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The living room's leather sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable, and the master bedroom was spacious with a cozy mattress and topper. The bathroom had a shower and a washing machine, which was convenient for longer stays. Speaking of which, for stays over 5 days, they offered a voucher for purchasing local products - a thoughtful gesture that allowed me to experience the authentic flavors of Chianti. Getting around was easy as the apartment was accessible by both car and public transport. The nearby bus stop made it convenient for exploring the area without a vehicle. Mercatale val di Pesa itself was a gem in Chianti, maintaining its authenticity with friendly locals and shops offering genuine products at local prices. The local butcher and baker were particularly outstanding, providing some of the best meats, cheeses, and sourdough bread I've tasted. Overall, my stay at Cipresso Toscano was nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in the Tuscan countryside, with the added convenience of being close to Florence, I highly recommend this place. I'm already planning my next visit to this wonderful oasis!

Nice clean rooms, the property has all the amenities, we just stayed for the night,

Maybe a bit expensive for just the night's stay, we ended up paying a bit extra since we messed up the booking details, we picked the wrong number of guests. The host was accomodating and very responsive. We checked in really late... about midnight and had to rush the check out at 10 am.

I really enjoyed staying in this apartment. I was perfect for my short trip to celebrate a wedding anniversary of some friends. Very clean. It had simple, but pleasant furniture. Little balcony with garden view. The host is wonderful.
