We enjoyed our stay with our family of 8. We would highly recommend this beautiful villa. Monica was very helpful with making arrangements. We really appreciated the service that Peiris provided throughout our stay including cleaning the rooms each day. The Villa is beautiful and the property has well maintained gardens. There was a terrace and hot tub on the second floor and the pool was a great break from the heat. The Villa is close to Florence and we had several dinners in the city as well as closer to the Villa. Overall a great stay.

House is all that you see and more. Pieris and Monica were incredibly helpful with arranging trips and dinners including the in villa cooking classes. A beautiful way to experience Florence and the surrounding area.

We were a group of 4 couples who spent 4 nights in this beautiful home. Periris the grounds keeps was exceptionally helpful as was the property manager, Monica. Grounds are lovely. Property is 15 min. from Florence and a great spot for day trips to Sienna and the hill towns. We could not have found a more perfect spot!

The Villa is perfect for a large family holiday with easy access to Florence.Peiris the house keeper is great addition and facilitated everything we required.

Beautiful, historic, well cared for home and property. Rental Manager and Property Manager were very helpful. Highly recommend this property.

Dante's Manor hosted us for an incredible stay! What a wonderful villa in perfect location. Cristiana and team could not have been more helpful and flexible with all of our arrangements in advance, throughout our stay and beyond. This included assistance in seeking urgent medical attention for one guest; we received tremendously warm care. Thank you for everything and we look forward to returning!

Very high end and luxurious property. Expansive and well appointed. A highlight is Peris who is the on site full time butler. He was outstanding, friendly, helpful, very professional, attending to our groups every need.

Rental process was very easy & great communication with villa manager Chritiana

We had a great stay at La Magione degli Alighieri. As a first time used of VRBO and home share services, I was initially very nervous. However, Cristiana allayed any concerns early on. She was very responsive in helping to answer questions and make arrangements (groceries, catered dinner, transportation for wine tasting) prior to our arrival. Our house manager was also excellent and made sure we were comfortable. I was looking for a property with character and proximity to Florence, and this property really delivered. The villa comes loaded with history, wonderful wall paintings, and a beautiful garden full of roses and lemon trees. While we had easy access to Florence (a 30min bus ride after a 10min walk to the bus stop), when you were at the villa you felt like you were away from the hustle and bustle. Every bedroom has amazing views of Fiesole and the hillside. If I were to make any complaints, it is that the house was very cold when we were there (early May). This may be a plus if you are visiting in the summer, but if you are visiting in the spring come prepared. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.

This was an exceptional villa sitting on the hills above Florence. Beautifully appointed, spacious, lovely property surrounded by beautiful gardens. Wonderful service from the property manager and house manager. Very special Villa.

there was 8 of us that stayed in this beautiful villa just outside of Florence. We had a wonderful man,Pedius,who looked after all our needs. He was outstanding! The house was charming; clean and spacious. The gardens and pool are lovely. We had a cooking class at he house and there was plenty of room to participate in the activity as well as enjoy the meal in the beautiful dining room. Christiana, the house manager, was wonderful. She met us at the Villa when we arrived. She was kind enough to shop for some groceries before we arrived. She also called and checked on us to see if we needed anything. The villa is approximately a 10 minute walk to a small town which has 2 restaurants and a sundries shop. You can catch the bus right there to take you into Florence. My only complaint would be that the beds and pillows were too hard for me and my family. That being said....we had the best time and can’t wait to return!,

We arrived one late evening in this splendid house, in Florence, with my wife and my children. The house manager was there to receive us in a very friendly and efficient way. As the house is quite large, her instructions were very helpful. Dante's house is a totally independent aisle of an historical Florence Villa. It has it's own, italian style garden and parking space. We found the house even better than what we expected from the description on internet. Everything was working as it should be. The house has been recently completely renovated, the 5 rooms are all large and comfortable with a lovely view over Florence hills and ancient villas. In every room the air- conditioning is independent. All rooms have bathrooms ensuite. The bathrooms are beautiful with shower and/or tubes with hydromassage. The furniture are not Ikea style, they are elegant family furnitures and paintings. Plenty of wardrobes are available as well as storage spaces. Bedding and towels are of excellent quality. Thanks to the very comfortable mattresses we could completely relax after hours of visiting and shopping in Florence. The kitchen is fully equipped and very spacious, there is everything you need for up to 14 guests at table. At our arrival all beds were made and floors were perfectly waxed and polished. Something you really appreciate when you arrive late at night! Even if town center is not far (Duomo is approximately at 20 minutes drive) we were happy to have a rented car. We parked it very easily at the central train station parking and from there you can walk everywhere you need for cultural visits and shopping. You have certainly understood that we all loved this place, we found it absolutely worth it's prize and we will certainly go back, let's hope next year!

Wasn't sure what we were getting when I booked (only one review at the time), but it sounded perfect for our family celebration. There were 10 of us and we wanted to be convenient to downtown Florence, yet having lots of room. I emailed Cristiana (property manager) before we booked and she said I could call. The call gave me comfort that the villa was what we were looking for. We booked it for 7 nights. The place turned out to be spectacular! Beautifully maintained and decorated. Gated for security with immaculate grounds (has to be several acres). Had linens changed and clean towels throughout the week, along with cleaning service daily. Found a great little pizza place you could walk to. Great house wine and a fun and friendly staff. We actually went 3 times (after exhausting daily touristy stuff)!!! Loved it and I would't hesitate to book again when we return to Florence.

We hosted a family reunion at the villa, with three couples (two grandparent aged; one middle aged) and a 20 and 13 year old. The house is comfortable, elegant, meticulously maintained, and beautifully curated. The grounds are immaculate - your own private park. Complete with a gorgeous Lebanese cedar, lemon trees and a small pool. The master suite has a patio with a hot tub. The manager of the property, Cristiana, is very welcoming, helpful and charming. As is the owner of the property who lives nearby and stopped by for a lovely visit. They were instrumental in setting up some of our day trips including an incredible visit to the Villa Antinori vineyard. You are very well taken care of at this Villa! We did not rent a car because the roads are tricky near Florence, so we used the local "7" bus stop for runs to Florence. The bus was on schedule and runs frequently. The charming little cross-road village of San Domenico is about a 10 minute walk. The village has two restaurants and a little grocer/ coffee stand - so essentials are easily accessible. If I could give 6 stars I would.
