This was a spectacular place. My sister and I stayed for the month of May. Alberto was the most precious, sweet and attentive home owner that went the extra mile to make our stay the best it could be! This is such a peaceful, beautiful and comfortable Villa! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place! Close enough to everything we wanted to see and do, but far enough away to have the Serenity of the countryside. I will definitely recommend this beautiful Villa. And I will be back...

Wir waren zu dritt und mit zwei Hunden in dem Ferienhaus und sind dort sehr gut aufgenommen worden. Die Anlage liegt sehr idyllisch gelegen .
am Hang. Man hört nachts leise die Autobahn, die im Tal entlangläuft, ansonsten ist wunderbare Ruhe. Die Ferienwohnung selbst war sehr gut gepflegt und mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Auch der Vermieter ist sehr nett und steht für alle Fragen und Probleme als Ansprechpartner zur Verfügung. Das Grundstück, die Wohnung und auch der Vermieter sind sehr hundefreundlich. Jederzeit empfehlenswert!
Consiglio: consigliabile

Earlier this year from early Spring on I spent 3 wonderful months at this lovely Villa. Far enough away from the crowds In Florence but at the same time only a short bus trip should you need to visit the city. It is at the start of the Chianti wine region and makers the perfect base to explore other towns in the region such as Lucca, Cortona, Montalcino etc all in day trips. The Villa has everything you need and is more like a home surrounded by a quiet peaceful forest. For the first time in my life I saw fireflies at night and listened to the distinctive call of cuckoos. Alberto is an amiable host, happy to help with whatever he can and a wealth of local knowledge and tour suggestions. I celebrated my 60th birthday here by having a lovely BBQ with friends including Alberto and his lovely wife Donatella and it is still one of my happiest and most memorable birthdays ever. I was sad to leave but I have promised to return....highly recommended !

Best thing about La Pietra Grezza is the owner, Alberto himself. He was always ready to help and solve whatever problems we might have had. The apartment itself is as described in the pictures and in text. There is also a big garden. The place is also dog friendly. We have made lots of nice walks to the hills, where you can see dears and wild boars. You can take a walk to Chianti side of the hills as well. We had a long term stay, and there was enough of everything to support us. Only the weather could have been nicer, but that you never know.

Perfecto emplazamiento como base de
operaciones para recorrer la Toscana y
volver a última hora a descansar. Los
propietarios, Alberto y Donatella, muy
agradables y siempre dispuestos por las
mañanas a darnos las indicaciones acerca
de los lugares a visitar. Su perra,
Susi, tan alegre como ellos, nos
visitaba para darnos los buenos días por
las mañanas.
La casa muy limpia y bien equipada con
cómodas camas en las que descansar del
ajetreo diario, amplia, con mucha luz y
bonitas vistas y en un entorno muy
tranquilo.
En resumen, buen emplazamiento, ambiente
muy familiar y una buena forma de
adentrarse en la vida toscana.

We spent almost 2 weeks in The Lilac apartment in June 2012. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable time I have had in years. The views were amazing from the property. Alberto, the home owner, was very helpful and gracious. The apartment was clean and spacious. We are planning to return to this beautiful place near Florence. Lovers of history will find this location ideal. Living in a rental home was far better than being in a hotel. We had a rental car that allowed us the freedom of seeing the pretty villages and historic sites. I have recommended this rental to all my friends. All the best to you, Alberto. You made us feel like we were "at home". You are so fortunate to have this lovely historic home.

“Home away from Home”
This place conjures images of a Tuscan painting. A nice villa situated on top of a hill with a small dirt road and olive trees on both sides. Our family stayed here for a week and we just loved the place. It is a bit far from Florence itself but since we opted to rent a car, we made quick work of the drive. Alberto, the owner, was very hospitable and ensured that we got the most of our stay. We would strongly recommend La Pietra Grezza as a great alternative to the typical city hotels that abound in Florence. Surely we will stay here again if ever we visit Tuscany again.

Over the last two years we have stayed in 'La Lilac' the top flat at 'La Pietra Grezza'. The first time was for six months so we have seen two of the seasons in Tuscany.
The second time was sadly only for 10 days and we wished we were there yet again for six months! It is a place that you don't want to leave and will return to.
Alberto and Donatella are wonderful Italians and have become friends to us. They make their own jams and a deadly concoction of berries and Grappa which will knock your socks off.
Susi their dog is very friendly and can accompany you on the walks up and down the very steep hill through the olie groves. The views are amazing and the accomodation very comfortable and rustic. The bed in the matrimonial room is one of the best I have ever slept in, with amazing views over the hills fromthe shuttered windows. There is a lot to do in the area, wonderful wine, cheese and foody places and the bus services into Firenze are good.
I am hoping to be there yet again next year, I could easily live there forever!

Our stay at Pietra Grazza was nothing short of fantastic. The apartment we stayed in for 21 delightful days was beautiful and accomodated our family of four perfectly. This was a delightful villa fom which we commenced our travels through Tuscany. The views from every window were a treat to the eyes and our host, Alberto could not have been more accomodating. What an exceptional sabbatical retreat.

At the begining of September 2010, I spent a few days with my family in appartment Lilac of La Pietra Grezza. It was short, but enugh time to meat the owner, Alberto, in the best light. Illustration for that is a specific situation which we had: Enterier of appartment Lilac is settled whith lot of taste and love: choosen pices of furniture, beautifull pictures on the walls in sittnig room, icons in beadrooms. Kitchen is completely equiped with all neccesary and quality gadgets. Everything perfectly clean. One morning, just awaked and still sleepy, I put a nice kettle on the stove, lit the gass and left the kitchen. Everything would have been the best, if it was not an electric kettle. When I felt the smelt it was to late: the black plastic bottom was already melted over the shiny rostfry surface of the stove. It looked like real disaster. In matter of minutes, the plastic hardened and become integral part of the rostfry, with minor chances to be cleaned. I felt very unpleasent and mad on myself: how to face Alberto, who decorated his house so carefuly, with such ugly sceen? I knew that my readiness to pay all the damage will be poor comfort for him. Finaly, when he came, he was obviously disturbed and confused, but he kept his calmness. After that his wife, also very pleasant and calm, brought some cleaning materials and epilog was that we succeded to clean everything. Next day Alberto bought new kettle which we paid, as well as some small damage on the gass burner, and everything was ok. Anyhow, if someone prefer quiet and relaxed holliday in country side, in friendly household, with fantastic Toscan wiev, but still so close to Florence which can be reached easily in less than 30 minutes, La Pietra Grezza wil be excelant choice. But be carefule with kichente, I made enough stress to Alberto for next few years.

"La Lilla" è un appartamento molto accogliente e spazioso, dotato di tutti i comfort; il posto è situato nella frazione di Cellai; facilmente raggiungibile in macchina (non fatevi ingannare dal navigatore e google maps che non segnano una strada che in realtà esiste!); ideale per chi vuole trascorrere un periodo di tempo in un luogo immerso nelle colline toscane, tranquillo e silenzioso, dal quale si gode di una vista meravigliosa. Situato in una zona strategica per visitare la toscana; Firenze dista circa mezz'ora, e le altre città (Arezzo - Siena - Pisa) sono facilmente raggiungibili sia esplorando le colline, sia tramite l'autostrada. Il sig. Alberto inoltre è davvero cordiale e disponibile a qualsiasi chiarimento e consiglio, anche in merito alle varie escursioni.

The Lilac has been a wonderful country retreat for us this last 6 months. It is up in the Tuscan Hills with beautiful views yet near enough to small villages, towns and Florence to see a great deal of the historic beauty of Italy. The rooms are spacious and well equipped and we had internet in the lounge. We felt safe and secure leaving our doors and windows open and letting the cooling evening breeze lull us to sleep. Alberto, Donatella and their dog Suzy were very helpful and friendly hosts greeting us with a bottle of loacl and wine and their home made jam. They often invited us to eat with them and gave us lifts when we needed them.
I would recommend The Lilac to anyone wishing to come to Tuscany it is a very special place in Castello di Bisticci.

This comfortable apartment is located in a beautiful Tuscan farmhouse, which is very nicely restored, a perfect launching point for traveling to all of the beautiful Chianti villages. The apartment has amazing views of the Tuscan countryside from apartment windows and commanding vistas of the Chianti region from the yard. It is quiet, and very comfortable.
The apartment furnishings, beds, appliances (dishwasher and clothes dryer) kitchen were all very adequate - nothing fancy but all you would need for a short or long stay is there. Very clean, well cared for. There is a beautiful private outside patio with grill, table, umbrella. You look at most of Chianti. Spectacular stars.
The furniture was all you would want, in good shape, comfortable, nothing fancy but plenty of space to spread out. The place would be ideal for two couples.
Bedroom were good sized, comfortable beds, beautiful views out of each, plenty of closet space.
The major bonus is Alberto, the owner. He is friendly, welcoming, always available and is truly committed to making your stay enjoyable. We asked a lot of him and he helped us cheerfully and with good humor - a great ambassador for the region!
We felt the rates were very reasonable for such a nice place.
We would go out of our way to stay here again and have already recommended it to friends. If you want to experience Tuscany at its best at a reasonable cost, this is a great place.

As described by previous reviews, the location was perfect. The property is surrounded by tall cypress trees, a lush garden full of flowers and herbs, and planters overflowing with geraniums and hydrangeas. The location is remote and quiet; you’ll never tire of hearing birds chirping, pigeons cooing.
The general interior of the apartment is typical Tuscan with an exposed beams ceiling, cotto tiled floor and plaster walls. The backyard is our outdoor sanctuary. Alberto had set up a covered area with a dining table and chairs. Two lounge chairs were provided for our relaxation and enjoyment. There was also a barbecue set, which we used quite often in the evening. The setting is very private yet open. Without him knowing, Alberto became our favorite tour guide and local expert. He provided us with surprising insights to some great towns and restaurants. He has maps, local guides to festivals and events, brochures and booklets of nearby attractions.
I would recommend this rental apartment. If you love to be surrounded by natural beauty and want a quiet vacation, while still within easy reach to many awesome historical sites, this is the place to stay.

Siamo stati accolti ed ospitati per tutto il periodo in modo divino. Il sig. Alberto, il titolare, è una persona cordiale e disponibile. Il posto è isolato e gli appartamenti sono tutti arredati con gusto e dotati di ogni confort. Il nostro cane si è trovato molto bene ed ha giocato molto con la Susy (il cane di Alberto) ed al rientro ha sofferto di nostalgia. I cani sono ben accetti, c'è addirittura un area recintata, dove il vostro cane potrò scorrazzare mentre voi vi godrete le vicine località.

The location was perfect. You drive up a winding road until you reach this old stone estate with beautiful flowers growing everywhere. It is very private.
The apartment was lovely. They provided all the kitchen equipment we needed, plus towels and linens. The views from all of the windows were amazing.
We had a private outdoor area where we spent a lot of time. We enjoyed sitting on the lounge chairs overlooking the valley , with the old haybarn in the distance. Extremely relaxing.It was nice to have a private area to ourselves.
The apartment was very clean upon arrival. We were very comfortable and felt like we were at home.
The beds were comfortable. We always had hot water. Alberto and his wife, Donatella, were the best part of our visit. They are extremely hospitable and you feel that you are guests in their home. They were always there to greet you at the end of the day. For three months I never heard anything negative from either one of them. She brought me dried lavender, wild herbs to keep the mosquitoes out of the house, etc. They were so gracious.
I would definitely stay here again! At some time in the summer, five of our children were here visiting us. We all loved it..

We have rented holiday homes in Ireland,England and France.The Lilac apartment is the most confortableof all.As a touing centre, it is well located for big attractions: Florence,Siena,Pisa and the wonderfull Arezzo.But we discovered that the History and cultureis much closer to Bisticci:Cascia,St.Giovanni Valdarno and Figline are brinning with interest.The drives in the hills on both side of the Arno Valley were breathtaking, close enough to take your time,stop,look,and explore.
The apartment kept us "home" many days, just soalling uo the sun and enjoying the wildlife.When it got veryhot,the wallshave guaranted a perfect cool retreat. On cold nights, early in the month, the wood burning stove was very efficient.
Our German Shepherd was happy to stay home with Alberto when we made excursions with no dog interest. and she was spared in very good conditions at our return.
Alberto made us feel that we were staying with family; help when needed, guidance and tips that got us to the right places and genuine concern to see that we were never less than confortable.
We have recommended La Pietra Grezza to our best friends, but otherwise hope to keep it our secret.
