We liked this structure and felt at home because of our host, Giuseppe and Mariko-san. The structure is a villa-style B&B with an east-facing garden where you can enjoy breakfast or simply relax and take in the fresh air. Our room is pretty clean and cozy with everything well maintained and working perfectly, which made us feel at ease especially after a tiring day in the city.
The location of the hotel is close to the city center which is about a 30 min bus ride. We mainly visited Florence based on the map with routes that Giuseppe recommended. If you have a car, you can also explore more brilliant views in Sienna, Pizza, etc.
Giuseppe and Mariko-san served us a full Italian-style breakfast with a genuine warmth everyday. We enjoyed it in the garden while appreciating the Tuscan landscape and sunshine, or in the tidy and fully equipped kitchen when it rained.

Mariko-san looked up the bus timetable so that we could be well prepared the next day to Florence. What’s more, Giuseppe also set up tables with everything we needed and helped us warm up the food. Thanks to their hospitality, we had a...

Giuseppe was always there to discuss with us our daily travelling around Tuscany, to give us advice and tips on what to see and where to eat. He even personally guided us on a walk around the hills among beautiful vine and olive fields. The parking was very convenient. We stayed in Casa Decimo for 8 enjoyable days. Giuseppe, Mariko and Naomi gave an additional value and became part of our holiday in Tuscany. They worthily represent Italian warmth, passion and...
Read moreCasa Decimo definitely exceeded our expectations! Located ~20min drive away from Florence, it was a relaxing refuge in the Italian countryside with outstanding hosts Giuseppe & family. We especially appreciated the following few things: spacious, well-equipped clean rooms; abundance of home-made breakfast choices served to your table; local food and detailed sightseeing recommendations; attention to detail, from how the guests are treated to toiletries, kitchenware & bedsheets. We were hoping to extend our stay but the place was already booked, so my recommendation is to reserve asap if it’s still available...
