Description

In the Montelupo Fiorentino countryside only 30 minutes from Florence you come across this charming Tuscan villa rental: a renovated 2-bedroom barn for 6 sleeps, that has been carefully restored in every detail, and is surrounded by olive and cypress trees.
It has a completely independent position but can also be rented together with the main villa "Sunbathing" just 100 meters far.

The view looks onto the surrounding countryside and the city of Montelupo, famous for its ceramics. An ideal location for those who wish for a holiday full of art, nature, and relaxation. The guests have at their disposal a private salt water pool with hydromassageopen from half of May to the end of September. The outdoor patio offers great views and is ideal for al-fresco dining.

The property has been tastefully and elegantly furnished, maintaining its original Tuscan style, with oak-beamed ceilings and terracotta flooring.

Our Opinion
Ideal for a family or a group of friends for short-term rentals. Recommended for people who want to relax but at the same time visit the main nearby cities of Tuscany such as Florence, Lucca, Siena, Pisa, etc...

Outdoor

Our vast gardens, with a wide-sweeping 360° views of the Florentine Chianti hills, offer you an unforgettable experience in a rural and charming atmosphere.
In our spacious luminous veranda, elegantly furnished, you can sun-bathe or have splendid al-fresco dinners.

Services

Air conditioning in the sleeping area. Heating, Satellite TV, wi-fi, DVD player and stereo with CD player, BBQ, automatic gate, covered car parking area and a spacious independent garden.

During the low season, upon request, it will also be possible to rent individual apartments, as they are completely divisible and independent.

Attractions

The position of the villa, in the center of Florentine Chianti, allows you to reach the most suggestive medieval hamlets of Tuscany in one hour or less.
Main Distances: Montespertoli (14km.), Greve in chianti (35km.), Firenze airport (30 km.), Firenze city center (40km.), Seaside Marina di Pisa (60 km.), Siena (75 km.)

Swimming Pool

The wonderful infinity pool with Jacuzzi (10,5x7,5 mt.), furnished with sun beds, reclining armchairs, table and chairs is surrounded by lawns and landscaped gardens framed by the rolling wooded hills beyond. The pool contains salt water which is healthier and brings the following benefits: elimination of chlorine odor, beneficial action on the skin and reduction of chemicals. The pool is open from May to September. Upon request, it is possible to anticipate or postpone the pool opening period, paying an extra €250/week in cash upon check-in.

Parking

Free covered parking for 2 cars + plenty of additional outdoor parking space

Interior Description

The holiday villa is spread over two levels.
On the ground floor we find the welcoming dining room with a bright, multicolored and fully equipped kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms with cabin shower showers.
Upstairs there is an open-plan mezzanine with fireplace and a large living room, with two sofas (one is a sofa bed for two people - 160cm wide).

The ancient property has been renovated with traditional materials: local stone, exposed wooden beams and Florentine terracotta floors.
The original architectures have been preserved within an elegant design, where Montelupo ceramics and typical ornaments that characterize the Tuscan style are mixed.

It can accommodate 6 people, but for larger groups it is also possible to rent the adjacent holiday villa Sunbathing (just 100 meters away) for a total of 17 beds and the exclusive use of 2 swimming pools and jacuzzi.

I recently celebrated my 50th birthday at Villa Sunflower, and it was an unforgettable experience. The villa is a beautifully restored barn nestled among olive trees and cypresses, offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The interiors are tastefully decorated, and the amenities provided made our stay exceptionally comfortable.​
The outdoor space was equally impressive. We spent our days lounging by the private pool, enjoying the serene Tuscan countryside, and our evenings dining al fresco under the stars. The villa's location is ideal—peaceful and secluded, yet just a short drive from Florence and other charming Tuscan towns.​

Francesca, our host, was incredibly welcoming and attentive, providing us with excellent recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Her hospitality added a personal touch that made our celebration even more special.​
Celebrating this milestone birthday at Villa Sunflower was a dream come true. I highly recommend this villa to anyone seeking a luxurious and authentic Tuscan experience

Agency Answer:

Dear Sonia,
Thank you for choosing Villa Sunflower to celebrate such a significant milestone. We're delighted to hear that the villa's ambiance and amenities contributed to making your 50th birthday truly special.​
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we're thrilled that you enjoyed both the tranquility of the countryside and the proximity to Tuscany's cultural gems. Your kind words about our hospitality mean a lot to us.​
We hope to welcome you back to Villa Sunflower in the future for more memorable moments.​
Warm regards,

Francesca and the Belcanto Villas Team

Our stay at this beautiful villa was nothing short of exceptional. The location in Montelupo Fiorentino is perfect for exploring the Tuscan region, with Florence just a short drive away. The villa itself is spacious, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The garden and pool area were highlights for us – a great place to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

The host was attentive and provided us with plenty of local tips, including nearby restaurants and activities, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The villa’s peaceful surroundings allowed us to fully recharge, and we can’t wait to return for another stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Tuscany in comfort and style!

Agency Answer:
