Beniamino 's cottage was just perfect. Set in the hills with olive trees around it, it was a 25 minute walk into the centre of Florence! The cottage itself was perfectly designed and such good value. We loved waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoyed meals outside and inside. The beds were super comfortable and the air conditioning super effective when required. My son loved seeing our host's family pets - cats, tortoises, and chickens, and playing on the trampoline and the soccer field in the olive grove. Food was easy with a hypermarket a quick drive down the lane, or a carrefour on the walk back from Florence. Buses to Florence were easy ( a 5-10 min walk down the hill). We walked into Florence by the Roman Gate and my son loved the gelato shop before it. Beniamino and his mother, Giovanna, were kindness personified. Loved this home. Will definitely be back.
