This quaint studio villa has a lovely view of Florence, and is quiet and secluded from the tourism of the city. Make sure you rent a scooter before you arrive so you can get to and from the villa with ease. We found taxi's to be scarce during our mid-June stay and the high heat had us longing for another way to get around other than with the bicycles (which are very nice) that Biancamaria provided. I wouldn't recommend a car since driving is restricted in a lot of areas of downtown Florence. If you plan on visiting in the summer make sure you're ok without air conditioning because it will get hot in the villa, but we discovered most places in Italy don't have air con (as they call it) and you get used to being sweaty. Biancamaria and her housekeepers Ondina and Zulma live on the premesis and were very helpful and accessible. Zulma even did our laundry upon request for a small fee. There are two refrigerators (one full size and one small built in) so you have a lot of space for groceries and cooking, and there's also a dishwasher. The bathroom and shower are nice too. The villa is the perfect size for a couple.
