What makes this B&B special are the owners and their kindness, conversation and willingness to go above and beyond for their quests. We took the bus to the B&B. Guilio, the owner, picked us up from the bus stop after we called from a pay phone. He also took us to and from the bus stop the following day and... more

My cousin, brother and I recently traveled to Tuscany for vacation from New York. During our trip we booked a day with Giulio which included a wine and cheese tour. The day was perfect! Every detail was planned for us and we worried about nothing. Giulio was very knowledgeable and kind. He took into account not only our budget, but... more

My family and I have visited Florence many times, staying in working farms and once in a former castle outside the city, as well as hotels in the city. Each experience is unique and provides a different perspective of Florence and Tuscany. In the Fall 2007, we stayed part of our time in Florence at the Limonaia. The other top... more

Just back from a trip to Tuscany that included the bread making course offered by La Limonaia and we had a really fantastic time.Giulio is a charming and attentive host and Viola is a frenetic, but delightful whirlwind of knowledge, skill and a cloud of flour. If you want to learn to a process (and I use that word deliberately)... more

My husband and I stayed at La Limonaia last March 2008. I cannot say enough good things about Guilio and Christina. They both made our stay so comfortable. The rooms themselves are beautiful, decorated in the Tuscan style. The residence is in the beautiful Italian countryside. The view from the rooms were phenomenal. I wish I was there now! My... more

During our fabulous 3 week honeymoon in Italy, our stay with Giulio and Christina was by far the best. I'm not sure where to even begin. These two are the sort of rare gems you meet once in awhile and consider yourself lucky for having had the pleasure to know them. I was so impressed by them, their B&B and... more

We stayed at La Limonaia for five nights at the end of September. When we arrived at La Limonaia, I didn't realize how special it was going to be here in the hills of Bagno di Ripoli. Giulio had a fabulous lunch waiting for us, including cheeses, olives, bread, wine and much more. We went on three different "tours" with... more

Well, let me first say that we had SUCH high hopes for this part of our honeymoon staying at La Limonaia. I was looking forward to experiencing all the wonderful things that the reviews reported, but we very unfortunately did not have the glorious stay that we so expected we would. It started off real rocky and only went down... more

Words can not describe the amazing experience my husband and I had on our honeymoon at La Limonaia. From the moment we arrived Giulio and Christina made us feel like we were at our new home in Italy. The grounds and houses of their estabilishment are amazing-- a quiet relaxing tuscan retreat from the crazy lives we are used to... more
