Villa Alex is perfectly situated for those who just wish to kick back and relax in the lovely garden and pool, or for those who want to explore the surrounding Tuscan delights. Its proximity to Florence and surrounding outlet malls makes it a great base to explore the city, but also stock up on luxury designer gear at discount prices.
The high spec, well equipped modern interior of the villa makes it stand out from other villas in this category, whilst the traditional stone exterior makes it blend well into the surrounding Tuscan hills. The well-kept gardens only add to the perfect setting.
The fact that the villa stands on a hill overlooking Florence means that not only do you enjoy stunning views of the city (including the Duomo), but also provides a slight breeze which makes the summer temperatures a little more bearable.
The only disadvantage is if you have very young children, it is difficult for them to get out of the pool on their own as there are not steps. Also the interior stairs leading up to the first floor are fully open with no bannister, which can be slightly worrying with small children.
Apart from these minor drawbacks, the villa was perfect for a family and inside offered a welcome cool retreat in the Tuscan heat of the afternoon sun.
A true slice of paradise and is highly recommended to all.

Property is clearly due for a major! renovation. Blinds are broken, fridge is terribly old, interior is dark and smelly. Many items in the rooms are broken and not maintained. We felt we were out camping... Location is beautiful, owner doesn't speak English but friendly.
[counter comment from the house managers - English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We spoke with the owner. He told us he has already replaced the fridge and will change the broken items in the house.
As for the lighting, the house is bound by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and therefore it's not possible to do mayor restorations but we asked the owner to add lamps or enhance the existing ones.
Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Haus mit ebenfalls sehr gepflegtem Swimmingpool und Garten!
Ruhige Lage, ideal zum Entspannen
Die Vermieterfamilie ist sehr freundlich!
Das Objekt empfehle ich gerne weiter

Nice place to stay; very quiet and relaxing! Great outdoor area! Enough space for 6 or 7 people (we stades with 4 kids), comfortable beds, unfortunately no small tables to put stuff onto (neither inside nor outside). Mosquitos were bad; protection is really necessary!
The area is very good for biking!
All in all a
very recommendable place for a quiet and relaxing vacation.

Huis was in orde. Prachtig zicht vanop het terras. Ligging: ideale ligging in het centrum van Donnini: bakker, kleine supermarkt, slager en krantenwinkel op wandelafstand. Nadeel: zwembad ligt aan de noord kant en daardoor is het water nogal koud. We hebben hiervan niet kunnen genieten.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] House was in order. Beautiful view from the terrace. Location: Ideally located in the center of Donnini: bakery, small supermarket, butcher and newsagent within walking distance. Disadvantage: pool is located on the north side and therefore the water is quite cold. We couldn't enjoy this.

Everything about Palazzo Rosadi was beyond our expectations. The most gracious owner and his family were always available for advice and anything else we needed. The surrounding area is charming and welcoming. I would not hesitate to rent this villa.
