The owners of Villa Malavolta welcome you into their home and take care of you with the best of Florentine hospitality. Their knowledge of and passion for the history of Florence is wonderful and brings a depth to your visit that you likely would not get elsewhere. Their living room, library, and patio areas are open for you to enjoy right along with them, it is truly a genuine Florentine experience. The food is excellent, the service is superb, and the views are spectacular.

The delicious old fashioned atmosphere of the house and the warm welcome of the owners were the ingredients for one of the best stays in the country of Dante. A great place to recommend without reserve.

This secluded villa within walking distance of Florence reminds me of a home in a fairy tale. Beautifully maintained by the elegant and erudite Donatella, it is filled with wonderful old furniture, piles of books and great paintings. Our second floor bedroom had its own terrace with a small table and chairs and pots of flowers. A lace covered table in our spacious and comfortable room held the fixings for afternoon tea. Donatella, whom I later learned is a well-known artist working in varied media, helped us plan our sightseeing, giving us a map to the city and two tickets for bus fare into the city. We returned very late, opened the gate and massive front door with the keys Donatella had given us and crept upstairs to bed where we fell into a deep sleep and woke to birdsong and the sighing of a morning breeze through the branches of the ancient pine in the back garden. Breakfast was served in the 300-year-old kitchen and was delicious -- fresh hot brioche, ham, cheese, jellies, fruit, yogurt and coffee. We'd return every year if we could as this was a totally wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay in Florence at Villa Malavolta. The photographs did not do the place justice. It was a lovely home and beautiful area outside of the bustle of Florence. The hosts were gracious and very friendly. They were extremely accomodating when we had to leave luggage with them for our last day out in the city. I would highly recommend!

This was our best stay in Italy! It was home away from home! Our hosts were very gracious and knowledgable about Florence and Tuscany. The villa, gardens were beautiful..but, it was the hospitality of our wonderful hosts that made this our most memorable stay in Italy. We have recommended them to our friends and family. Thank you Sergio and Donatella and your beautiful family!

They owners were very helpful and friendly. We were given a tour of the villa and the surroundings. The room was spacious, with good-quality bed-linen, very clean and cosy - lots of paintings, books, art magazines as throughout the entire villa. Breakfast was served in the kitchen dating back several centuries - wonderful tableware, good choice of food. One evening we had dinner in an excellent fish restaurant a few hundred meters up the road from the villa. Highly recommended. The villa is just on the outskirts of Florence, but there is a regular bus service to the centre. We also walked several times - it takes about half an hour. I would suggest paying cash, as for some reason our credit cards were refused the morning of our departure. We ended up driving to a cash point nearby. Overall, a relaxing stay in wonderful, quiet and very romantic surroundings - definitely an excellent combination with extremely busy city centre.

What a charming place! We loved the entire experience. The villa truly gives one a feel of Italian hospitality and culture. Transportation was close and easy to use. We would recommend this B & B to all our friends and would love to stay there again ourselves.

The house and grounds are beautiful as well as confortable and quiet. Getting to and from all of the attractions in the center of town was a breeze. The hosts are very nice and gracious and maintain a beautiful house. I found that the Villa Malavolta was the best value for the room that I experienced in my entire Italian trip.
