The house through the eyes of our guests

Anyone can leave something of themselves on the large chalkboard inside the treehouse: a thought, an emotion, a drawing, a dedication to the travellers who will come after.

“This is a unique place. The treehouse is small and cosy. Everything you need is there. Close to the crowded city but also close to the marvelouse countryside. We were here the second time and we love this place in the middle of olive trees, you see the top of the Dome of Firence, the house is in the shadow of several pine trees. It is a magic place for us.”

Armin

“Thank you very much for the phenomenal stay! Elena went above and beyond - even bringing us breakfast! We’ve been traveling for 2 weeks so far for our honeymoon and this was absolutely one of our favorite places we have been. Beautiful surroundings and a very clean and nice place to stay. We hope to be back!!”

“We loved the treehouse and the property. We loved hanging at the pool on the property. During the day we hung out at the house and in the evening we explored Florence. We loved the balance of being in two different places. The location is very near the city center and we had a rental car. Such a wonderful experience.”

Alex

“Elena’s treehouse was amazing. Super happy we stayed here and the breakfast croissants were delicious.”
