Relax in Paradise!

We had an amazing day out in the Tuscan countryside in the most beautiful place! I coordinated everything with Simona who was so sweet and accommodating with all our questions! If you’re looking for a way to get on horseback, no matter your skill level, and have the most beautiful views while you relax by the pool, don’t hesitate to book! The lunch was also delicious!

Operator response

Very dear Kristen and Selene, Thank you for appreciating the day, we are happy that you had the expected getaway from the city crowds. We'll be glad to welcome you back for more experiences on our rolling hills Kind regards, Simona

An unforgettable experience

This tour was the highlight of our trip. Simona and her driver were amazing. Very knowledgeable of the area. The home we went to was beautiful, the views were unbelievable. We had a thorough lesson with Ester who was very patient and knowledgeable. The horses were beautiful and well kept. The homemade family style meal was so good. The owners of the house were very welcoming. The pool was refreshing and clean with an amazing view. We very much recommend this tour.

Operator response

Dear guests, we thank you for your great review on your day with us. We hope that one day you will spend more days at our home for more horse riding and relaxation on the rolling hills of Florence. Rgds, Simona

Beautiful, joyful day!

What a beautiful, joyful day we had with Florence Country Life!! I took five teenagers with me to tour through Italy, and this was without a doubt one of their favorite days and experiences! From the first moment I reached out to Simona via WhatsApp and email, she was responsive, accommodating, and flexible. She helped craft for us exactly the experience that worked best for our group and at every turn was as helpful as could be. I feel like I not only got a Tuscan experience, but also built a new friendship. The horses, the pool, the lunch, the people: all wonderful. I cannot possibly recommend this excursion more highly!!

Operator response

Dear Ellen, Thank you for your friendly feeling! It's an honor to have met your expectation for you and your group of teens, always more difficult to satisfy. We hope you can all come back again in future, and as agreed you will be most welcome in the meantime for a taylor made new horse riding experience as per your high riding skills.

Amazing Ride Through the Florence Countryside

This was an amazing experience. I've been riding my entire life and typically try to do at least one horse trek each country. This was hands down the best tour of this type I've ever done. I was looking at other tours that were cheaper and looking back I would pick this one every time. From the very start contact with Simona was very easy and convenient and we were even picked up only a block from our hotel. During the drive she pointed out all the interesting sights along the drive and explained some of the things we would go past on our ride. Once we got to the stables it was a pretty quick test to make sure we felt comfortable on our horses and off we went. The ride itself was spectacular, we went through every terrain and scenery you could ask for from riding in between olive trees and around vineyards, we even rode past a castle. We did the "experienced" ride to try and avoid the usual boring trails you get with this sort of thing and I can safely say this was nothing like a typical trail ride. The horses were amazingly well trained and responsive, I didn't have to struggle to make it walk somewhere without the guide horse in front. They even took pictures of us so we wouldn't have to risk our phones, and the pictures were phenomenal. The only thing I will say is as someone used to riding in flatter terrain the hills can tire you and your horse out rather quickly, so be prepared for a workout.

Operator response

Very dear guests, what's amazing is your great review for which we must prepare to welcome many riders, any level and adapted trail (yours was a customized 2h ride), to make them enjoy what you enjoyed ! We look frwrd to welcome you again for more beautiful experiences in Tuscany. Simona
