Outstanding hospitality, grounds, view and room!
This is certainly a hidden gem in the tuscan mountains. We were extremely pleased with the outstanding hospitality, the beautiful villa, the peaceful atmosphere and the most incredible sunsets I have ever seen. There were great local restaurants within walking distance and the food was amazing and affordable. We enjoyed the fact that it was outside of the main tourist attractions. We did not have a car so if you plan to stay as we did, you will have to anticipate a 40 minute bus ride (one way) to the main transportation hub in Florence. It was well worth it. We loved it!

The ultimate place to stay!
We just spent 4 nights here. It is absolutely fantastic. The welcome was very friendly and helpful. We had a 2 bed apartment with stunning views. The local bus is very punctual and a very scenic 30 min ride to Florence. Unfortunately, our Aussie dollar didn't stretch to well against the Euro, but it was worth the money. We would love to go back for longer next time.

I can't wait to come back
We stayed here on a recommendation of a co-worker. It was absolutely beautiful. We took the bus from Florence and it was a breeze to get there. We did not spend too much time at the Relais but plan to come back with our children. The room was great, the beds comfortable and the staff wonderful. We highly recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful accommodation
We booked the Relais fairly last minute and were very lucky to find one two bedroom appartment free for 5 days.
The appartment was lovely, nicely furnished, cool and well equipped. It was a great to have a daily cleaning, bed making and towel change service.
The pool area is beautiful - clean and with the added benefit of having both a tiled pool side and a sand area ... fantastic for our toddler. The views are also lovely from the pool and the nearby barbecue area.
The service was first class with from eleanora and serena - they were very friendly and helpful providing us with excellent restaurant recommendations, tips on how to get into the Ufizzi without waiting in line for 4 hours etc
The setting could not be bettered. Impruneta is 15 minutes easy drive to Florence and the town itself is a non touristy thriving Tuscan town with a few shops, playground and high quality restaurants. Relais Villa Olmo is within walking distance of Impruneta
We would love to go back and are seriously considering taking a villa next year.

Wonderful holidays
We spent 10 days in one of the cottages with a wonderful view overlooking the hills of the area. Staff - every one of them - could not have been more friendly and helpful. The accommodation was exactly as portrayed on the website. It was a great location for both touring and having a lazy day around the villa. Plenty of good pizzerias in Imprunetta and at least one fanatstic restaurant within 10 minute drive. Bus service to Florence was very good, taking about 30-40 minutes (although some of the bus drivers seemed to be trying to set new records!). It was very useful to have the daily cleaning and towel service - one suggestion would be to advertise on the website that they also offer pool towels which are changed regularly as well (would have meant more space in the luggage for goodies from Florence).
Great location, great accommodation, exactly what we wanted. Difficulty will be beating this if we want to try another region of Italy....
