This beautiful place was truly a find, like other reviewers mentioned. In the hills behind Florence it is close enough to walk but as it was raining for our visit we drove and somehow managed to find a park. The walk back would be steep though. Carla is delightful and so willing to share her abundant knowledge of Florence with ideas of what to do. The house and rooms are amazing- spacious and clean. Only word of warning is that the roads leading to the villa are very narrow but like so many in this stunning country. Loved our visit and recommend to anyone with that slight sense of adventure and wanting an out from the crowds.
