The house was, if anything, better than it appeared in the photos—a lovely, large and welcoming space. It was spotlessly clean. The location is excellent, especially if you are coming to Florence by car. We travelled easily to the historic centre, both by bus and train.

Valeria was a superb hostess. Her communication before we arrived was second to none. When we reached the house she was very welcoming indeed, explaining patiently all of the practical things about the house and the area. More than this, however, she went above and beyond the call of duty to help us with a problem we'd had on the journey to Florence—there had been a mix-up at a toll booth on the motorway and we'd incurred a €50 fine. She went to the office where we were supposed to pay, explained the situation and got us released from it.

What a wonderful experience. A lovely house, a lovely host in lovely Florence. We hope to come back soon.

Thank you Valeria!
