A Slice of Heaven on Earth
This was our second stay at Il Faeto, a beautiful property located in the hills south of Florence overlooking a wonderful valley below. The temperature is cooler than Florence and the pool is very relaxing with many sun shelters around the pool deck. The property is superbly maintained and beautiful. Prior to arriving we had made several dinner reservations in Florence and a few of the villages but after having dinner prepared by the host (Fonzi) our first evening we scrapped all those plans and chose to eat at the house around 8pm each night. The food was beyond amazing. It was terrific to discuss with her each morning what she would prepare. Then we all ate the same outstanding meal and enjoyed nice wine. It was so much better than going to a restaurant. We stayed at the house a few days but when we travelled into Florence or out to the villages, it was great to know dinner would be ready at 8pm. We also enjoyed her breakfast a few mornings during our week long stay. Also, you want to ask her about basil.

Paradise on the hill
The property is stunning and the warmth of Enzo and Fonzy was incredible.
We had 11 family and friends stay on the property comfortably. The rooms are lovely and everyone was happy with their space.
We arranged for a welcome dinner and breakfast that was delicious. The hospitality was special. After we were able to go the market and make food from our kitchen. This was a nice convenience.
We were able to come and go easily from the property with our rental cars. Rental cars are a must as the drive into town is long. The local store is limited but the neighboring store was plentiful. The drive to other locations was easy: Florence, Luca, Pisa
We would love to return in the summer and experience this wonderful location then!

Our family of 8 feels so incredibly lucky to have found Il Faeto and the two amazing people who own the house, Fonsi and Enzo. We came here after a 5 day stay in Rome and it was like entering a private oasis in another world. The property is located high up a hill in the country side, about 45 minutes outside of Florence. And the drive to the property is breathtaking.
When we arrived, we were greeted by Fonsi and Enzo, who live on the property. Meeting them was like meeting family. Their warmth and kindness could be felt the moment we stepped out of the car.
Based on the reviews, we arranged with Tommaso, their excellent property manager, to have dinner cooked the first night at the house. I was able to coordinate dietary restrictions/needs for myself and others in the group which Fonsi payed close attention to. When we arrived to the dining room, the table was set as if we walked into a private restaurant. After the first course of the 4 course meal…spaghetti with Fonsi’s homemade tomato sauce, we made the decision to eat there every night and breakfast every morning. Best decision of the trip. Better than any restaurant food we had and Fonsi will coordinate every course of the menu to your liking. You will leave dreaming of her food. It is THAT good.
Fonsi and Enzo took care of us like family and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I wish I could write more. We will cherish the time we had with them at Il Faeto. It was truly spectacular and perfect.

Tuscany Villa with a Beautiful View!
We were party of 8 friends taking a trip to Italy and this villa met all our requirements when making the decision on choosing a villa. Where do I begin....1st of all the views from the villa are breath taking and that's exactly what we were looking for. It overlook the valley exactly like the pictures posted.It was incredible to wake up in the mornings and to look out your window. The villa was clean and very comfortable for our party. We loved the beds! My husband has a bad back and thought the bed was perfect! The next best thing was Fonzi and Enzo. They were such gracious hosts! So nice, helpful and fun to talk to and hear about their lives in Italy. But the best part is Fonzi's cooking! She is an amazing chef who cooked us several dinners and made us breakfast. The dinners were better than any restaurant we ate at in Florence. The location is perfect. The drive to Florence was only 40 minutes and we also visited Siena and Volterra.
I would highly recommend the villa it doesn't get any better than this! I would like to say thank you to Fonzi and Enzo for making our vacation spectacular!

Amazing Villa and experience
Wonderful place to stay while exploring the Tuscany region. Villa is quietly tucked away about 25 min to Florence. 4 charming bedrooms with private bathrooms in 1400 year old Villa. Nicely updated but with old world charm. Owners live on property which is such a gift. Owner was former Chef in Florence and prepares amazing dinners and breakfasts upon request! Best meals we had on our trip, and engaging with owners was a gift. Their history of the Villa, their charm, humor and care of our friends and family was heartwarming. Explored Tuscan region during the day and would relax at Villa every evening. Best travel experience in all our years of traveling. Thank you Il Faeto and our hosts Fonzi and Enzo!

Very nice host, but not a Villa - it is a Bed and Breakfast.
Overall the host were very nice and helpful. View from property was great.
The description of the property leads you to think this is a private Villa, however, it is a bed and breakfast with host living onsite in property.
1) Beds were very uncomfortable.
2) Extra fees for cleaning and electric (Air Conditioning)
3) Rules for Pool make it unusable. Extremely complicated rules and not worth the effort.
If you want a regular bed and breakfast experience, this is an ok place. The beds need to be replaced with something that is not as hard as a rock.
If host are charging extra for AC (electric), then you should let the guest manage the controls instead of having them tell us to turn down or turn off. Last night of stay, the AC did not work.

Remarkable Tuscany country house
This 5 Star Bed and Breakfast exceeded our expectations! Staying at Fonzy and Enzo’s Tuscany Farm House created not only a vacation of a lifetime, but it allowed us to immerse ourselves into Italian customs and traditions. Not only is the place exactly as shown in the pictures, but it is immaculate! In addition, Fonsy is a world class chef who surprised us with gourmet meals every night! We read many reviews prior to booking, but we never imagined her talent in the kitchen and the hospitality of her and her husband Enzo would exceed anything we imagined! Truly a paradise! If you are visiting the Tuscany area check out Fonzy and Enzo's place!

Il Faeto - Paradise in the hills of Tuscany
We were in Italy celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our children and grandchildren. The stay at Il Faeto was perfect. Fonsy and Enzo took wonderful care of us. Fonsy made fabulous meals (breakfast and dinner) - the best food we have ever eaten in Italy! We also took a cooking class with Fonsy. The views are spectacular and the grounds of the house including the pool and gardens are magnificent. Fonsy and Enzo live in one of the three apartments in the villa - the other two apartments were perfect for our large family. There are plenty of areas to gather outside during the day and in the evening. The road to the house is a little daunting at first - but there is hardly any traffic so there was never a problem and we quickly got use to it. Be sure to follow the signs to "Il Faeto"! All of us we so sad to leave this beautiful place and hope to return!

Like the title says - this place was absolute heaven. Due, in no small part to the lovely hosts - Fonzy & Enzo!
Location - tucked away in the Chianti countryside. An easy drive from Florence (~35min). Easy access to several wineries, Pisa, Luca, Siena, etc.
Accommodation - just as advertised. Clean, comfortable, cozy. You really feel like you’re at home.
Food - this was by far above expectations! Fonzy and Enzo used to own a cafe in Florence and Fonzy’s culinary talents are put to use here. She was great about accommodating our dietary restrictions, creating lovely means and asking us what we like/don’t like to figure out meal planning. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast there every single day! Restaurant quality food in the comfort of a home - what more can you ask for! I’m still thinking about Fonzy’s lasagna.
Hosts - Fonzy and Enzo are simply lovely people. Nurturing, caring, great stories, etc. and their cat was just adorable!
You definitely won’t regret staying here and enjoying the food and hospitality. Absolutely worth it!

Most amazing stay
We rented this beautiful villa for 4 days. Traveling as a family, there were 6 adults and 3 children. The grounds and house are impeccable, the views are stunning and the property was more than adequate to comfortably fit all of us. But the absolute best part of the visit was getting to meet Fonzi and Enzo. They are what every host should aspire to be. Welcoming, attentive, and immediately making us feel comfortable. And let’s not mention the amazing food. We had arranged for a welcome dinner and breakfast the next day to be cooked by Fonzi but quickly decided to have ALL breakfasts and dinners in the villa. The food is absolutely amazing. And the cooking lesson we did with Fonzi was enjoyed by everyone. The memories we have from this stay will last a lifetime. My only regret is that we did not do our entire Italian vacation at this villa.

Fonsi prepared breakfast & dinner for us, and I'm confident enough to say it was our best food in Italy, and deservant of a michelin star.

Villa life at its best
There are truly not enough words to describe how amazing and wonderful it was to spend 12 days at Il Faeto. The property is amazing with breath-taking views, a refreshing pool and living quarters that make you feel right at home. The location is perfect, about 12 miles from the city center of Florence which makes for an easy drive into town, and close to many other of the must-see Tuscan towns and wineries. But, by far, what made this stay so incredible is the care and feeding (literally!) by Fonzi and Enzo. It only took our first night's welcome dinner to decide the best ever decision was going to be to eat at the villa every night, and we were treated to the most amazing, authentically Tuscan, culinary experiences. We stayed at the villa with 8 people, two families of four, and couldn't have wished for anything more or better. Top notch, all the way around.

Spectacular!
We had been planning a trip with our family of 10 to Italy for several years to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We stayed 2 weeks enjoying every minute. Fonzi and Enzo were the best hosts. We had Fonzi cook a celebration dinner and also had pasta and pizza cooking classes in which we all participated. So much fun and so delicious. We all like to cook and attempted it several times, but it was really wonderful to have Fonzi do the cooking. The villa is situated high on a hill out of Florence so you really need a car to get around. The house has separate sections which were ideal for a large group. Our stay was much better than imagined and I recommend it highly. The grounds, the pool and the house are well maintained. Fonzi and Enzo felt like family to all of us and we miss them already.

A relaxing retreat to return to after a long day
This lovely property is located off the beaten path. The partial steep, dirt road leads to a unique and special place. About 20 minutes from Florence, the property is well situated to visit a number of places in Tuscany. The house, grounds, and pool are all very nice. The view is breathtaking.
We are a family of 4 (two adult/two teenagers). We have stayed in Florence in the past (in the city in an apartment) and were looking for something different this time. Space to stretch out and relax. A pool to cool off in the afternoons. Beds are comfortable, bathroom are well appointed, kitchen is very functional.
What makes this property even more unique is the couple that lives there - Fonzi and Enzo (and their adorable, friendly cat Gino). We booked dinner with Fonzi three times during our stay and could have done more. Her cooking skills and creative menu are what makes this place amazing. We drove out to explore each day and returned knowing we could cool off in the pool and eat delicious food. Fonzi has a garden and uses fresh, seasonal ingredients. You can discuss the menu ahead of time but definitely book for you first night.
What makes this place so special is what other people might find challenging. It's a drive to get to anywhere, including dinner away from the property. There are good restaurants nearby (about 10/15 min away). There is also the option to cook in the villa which we did a couple of times (salad/pizza). The dirt road was daunting the first time we drove up and down, but we soon got used to it.
Overall, this place is a gem. If you're looking for something special in Tuscany, this is it.

A lovely villa in Tuscany - hard to beat!
This Villa is hard to beat! The views are incredible. The hospitality is amazing. The owner, Fonzi, is a chef who owned a restaurant in Florence. From the welcome dinner and breakfast the next day each meal was amazing. There were 6 of us (3 couples) and we each had our own space - kitchen, bathrooms, sitting areas, as well as outdoor sitting areas and the pool. The pictures of the place are accurate but hard to capture the beauty of the surroundings. The hospitality of the owners (Fonzi and Enzo) could not have been better. We had a car which served us well to visit wineries and the surrounding area.
Pick this place…you won’t be disappointed!

Incredible family celebration
It’s almost impossible to adequately describe the beauty, hospitality, and warmth that envelop you in Fonzi’s home. The property is breathtaking and offers the ideal location to appreciate nature and relax. Fonzi, Enzo, and their newest family member, Gino the cat, are the ultimate hosts! We had a big family reunion here with our 3 daughters and their families and our dear friends. The highlight of our time here was enjoying Fonzi’s culinary skills. She is an amazing chef and managed her menu options and our food requests effortlessly. All that our 19 month old granddaughter could say at dinner was “more”! The property has a fantastic layout with beautifully outfitted bedrooms and bathrooms as well as great space to come together as a large group. We ventured into historic and picturesque local towns but always found ourselves so happy to return to Fonzi’s retreat. We are dreaming of our return to this magical place- Grazie mille!!!

BOOK THIS HOUSE NOW!
I can’t say enough about Fonzi and Enzo’s property. This was one of the best vacations of my life (and I travel a lot!!). We had read all the reviews and thought- can’t wait to try Fonzi’s food but we will for sure want to dine in Florence too. Boy were we wrong! After having Fonzi cook our first dinner shortly after arrival, we cancelled any reservations we had in town. My 100% Italian father’s words were “this is the best lasagna I have ever had!” And they do treat you exactly like family. We loved hearing all of their stories. We were traveling as a family of 6 and my parents were staying an extra week from the rest of us. They ended up changing their plans from 3 nights in Venice, to just one night so they could go back to stay longer with Fonzi and Enzo. Yes, the drive is a bit challenging up the hill to get there- but that ends up being part of the appeal as you have a wonderful view. You don’t want to miss this experience. We were VERY lucky to find them!
