“Beautiful farmhouse”

Spacious, isolated, panoramic views, friendly accommodating owner, excellent heating for winter stays

N/A

Try the restaurant down at the Londa lake "Il Fischio" for cheap, authentic Tuscan food. The Gelateria "Edi" on the corner of the main street in Poppi is excellent.

“Londa 1373 in generale! ”

Casa veramente spaziosa e i letti assolutamente comodi, quando Francesca ci ha spiegato la storia dei letti e di come erano fatti, ha valorizzato tutto molto di più. Francesca e suo marito super gentili hanno accompagnato una nostra amica a Firenze per prendere la Coincidenza con l'aereo, senza contare la generosità di alcune piccole cosine golose complementari nella nostra cena.

Nulla, non poteva veramente essere meglio.

Posto fantastico, sia per camminare, rilassarsi e mangiare/bere cose veramente di qualità. Consiglio diparte nostra e' di avere un mezzo per arrivarci!visitare anche il paesino e' meraviglioso!

Appartement spacieux avec grande cuisine bien équipée. Propriétaire disponible, attentive prodiguant de judicieux conseils pour se restaurer dans les alentours. Du jardin très jolie vue sur la vallée de Londa.

Peu d'équipements d'extérieur pour profiter du jardin (peut-être du fait de la saison?). Véhicule indispensable pour se ravitailler. Connexion internet non présente

Idéale pour séjour familial et amateurs de nature.

“We love Francesca and her Londa 1373!”

Our stay at Londa 1373 was more than we had hoped for! The accomodation was stylish, clean and comforable. Francesca's cooking is delicious and the warm welcome from the whole family was unforgetable!

Nothing significant. The mattress was quite hard...

From Londa you can take the train straight into Florence and leave the car behind. It was a great, stress free way to get there. Francesca cooked us sensational Italian dinners every evening which were absolutely fantastic and also made our stay very relaxing! We highly recommend this:)

“A lovely week at Londa 1373! ”

9 Read the complete review

The farm house is absolutely beautiful, and so is the view. I dont think the pictures online quite makes it justice (see my photos attached to appreciate the amazing view from the property). Francesca and her family are all lovely and very helpful. We had a fantastic week staying in two of the three apartments they rent out and would definitely come back. The location is also great for travelling around in Tuscany. We visited several cities, including Florence, Siena, Montepulciano & Pisa, during our stay.

We had a fantastic time, no major negative comments. A couple of small things that could do with improvments if we were to mention something; the internet connection was a bit temperamental in both apartments and the main bed in one of the apartments was very hard, it could do with a softer top matress.

Francesca and her family made pizza for us in their traditional stone oven one evening which was absolutely lovely, I would warmly recommend that experience.

“We had a great holiday at the villa. The hosts Francesca , her husband and son - peter were very hospitable. Kids loved picking cherries from the trees in the morning and the pizza making class. A great experience overall.”

Nice villa, scenic countryside, warm hosts.

Villa is a bid far from the city and difficult to locate.

Go for it. Its a great place to stay.

“My daughter and I had a wonderful week in this farmhouse apartment. A gem atop a Tuscan hilltop overlooking a beautiful valley.”

Francesca was warm and welcoming, bringing us bread, wine and pizza for our lunch one day. Gave us a tour of the farmhouse and told us about the history of the area dating back to the Middle Ages.

Nothing

One day just go to the end of the driveway and turn right. Drive through the national forest and on to charming neighboring towns. Go without an agenda and soak up the scenery and friendly Italian local villagers.

We were there for the peach festival and were treated to lots of free samples of the local peaches. Delicious!

The approach road could benefit from some attention. Very tricky in places.

Buy the olive oil from the farm. It's lovely and organic.

“The holiday at Villa Londa was perfect!!”

We were a family with 7 adults, 4 kids and a baby and stayed at the whole Villa and it was perfect for us. The surroundings are breathtaking wonderful and the villa is very beautifully restored and decorated. This place even exceeded our expectations. The owner Francesca was very friendly and gave us help we needed.

Francesca makes lovely food, donÂ´t miss her dinner or pizzas. This villa with its surroundings is such a relaxing place that it is not necessary to go anywhere else. But a car is necessary for going for shopping to Londa center.

Très beau cadre ! Très bon goût pour la décoration de l'appartement Pastore, rénové avec de beaux matériaux de la région.

Difficulté d'accès à internet Lave-linge

La fille de Francesca peut vous proposer de magnifiques balades à cheval dans les Apenins et le Casentino, bon moyen pour découvrir cette magnifique région. Pour vous rendre à Florence, vous pouvez prendre le train qui vous conduira directement dans le centre de la ville (pas de soucis de parking).

Parce que votre satisfaction est notre priorité nous aimerions savoir également quel problème vous avez rencontré avec le lave-linge car vous n'en avez pas fait mention durant votre séjour. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau parmi nous et vous faire vivre une belle expérience. Cordialement

“Fantastic! Owner was a delight to meet. Our family of 5 had a splendid Italian meal with regional specialties. The apartment was by far the best place we stayed in during our trip to Italy. Wish we could have stayed longer.”

Italian meal with regional specialties.

None... just wish we had more time to visit.

We found the lodging without a problem but this was during the day. Perhaps a larger sign at the bottom of the hill would help future visitors. Great place and hostess!

“Warto tam pojechać, jeśli nie zależy Ci na nocnym życiu w mieście.”

Cudowne położenie, widoki, cisza. Apartament duży, wyposażony we wszystko. Brak TV - to też zaleta. Obok sad : śliwki, brzoskwinie - można jeść do oporu. Blisko do Florencji.

Konieczny samochód. Kilka kilometrów od miejscowości Londa. Dojazd z 1 km. pod górę z głównej drogi. Z samochodem - żaden problem.

Koniecznie trzeba tam pojechać. Niezapomniany pobyt w Toskanii.

Very comfortable accomodations with fabulous hostess in Francesca. A little out of the way and difficult to get to, but once you get there, it is heaven. Perfect for relaxing with family with spectacular views. Meal Francesca fixed for our family was the highlight of our 2 week tour of italy.

“Kora ősz Toscanaban”

Francesca, a tulajdonos nagyon kedves és segítőkész és a család többi tagját is megkedveltük. Rengeteg náluk készített olívaolajjal, borral, lekvárral és még több élménnyel jöttünk haza.Valamikor mindenképpen visszamegyünk...

Kicsit nehezen találtuk meg a házat, de ez aligha a tulajdonos hibája :))

Mi elég sokat kirándultunk, így kevés időt tölthettünk a remek apartmanban valamint a szép és hatalmas kertben.Érdemes csak úgy élvezni a nyugalmat. A medence is nagyon szép volt, de ősszel kicsit hűvös van már ahhoz, hogy élvezni lehessen.

Le cadre est vraiment magnifique, c'est une batisse haut perchée rénovée avec goût. Les couchers de soleil y sont splendides. Le site est à une distance raisonnable de Florence, on peut ensuite récupérer assez facilement les grands axes permettant de visiter les principales villes. Etant partis à la découverte de la Toscane en plein été (soit tous les jours de la route sous des températures élevées) nous étions très contents de pouvoir profiter de la piscine le soir venu.

la literie est vraiment déplorable, on avait vraiment l'impression de dormir sur des paillasses. C'est le point qui devrait être amélioré. La prestation sur ce point n'est vraiment pas à la hauteur.

Comment by the Owner

Comment by the Owner I letti sono quelli di una volta, con materassi in lana che poggiano su di un assito in legno. E' un modo di riposare forse per alcuni un pò scomodo (per altri invece è risultato eccellente!)ma sicuramente in perfetto tono con l'ambiente. Li abbiamo scelti di proposito, e sono risultati anche abbastanza costosi rispetto ai materassi moderni che però ci parevano ''fuori tema''.Non si tratta di migliorare, perchè la scelta non è stata frutto dell'incuria ma di una seria riflessione.

Very tastefully restored accommodation. Fantastic views. Easy access to pool. Very friendly owners who were great with the children. Francesca speaks good English and can offer lots of information about the local area. A very peaceful and relaxing holiday.Just fantastic!

Very bumpy little road up to the farmhouse. You will need a car.

Do go for a meal prepared by Francesca - it was an unforgettable experience. She is an intelligent and charming host. We spent a delightful evening eating delicious food, drinking local wine and laughing with Francesca, her family,a French and a Dutch family. Take a train to Florence - much easier - speak to Francesca about the timetable - it is not reliable!
