Exceptional - gorgeous villa with beautiful views above Florence, away from the crowds, yet close enough to walk to everything (if you love walking like we did!) About 10 min to the closest little area San Niccolo for lovely dining, simple groceries, and gelato. 20-30 min to all major attractions in Florence. We loved exploring all day, then returning to this gem of a villa for wine on the terrace watching the sunset. Beds were very comfortable, and bathrooms were clean and stylish. 3-story, circle staircase, however the elevator (yes, an elevator!) comes in handy when doing laundry and when our feet were tired. Three balconies, one off every bedroom. Lovely kitchen and dining area for our family dinners. Karin was SO welcoming and quick to respond to any of our needs and questions. Down to earth and so helpful. The villa is in a neighborhood and by a school, so expect some light noise from the locals if you're not early risers in the morning. The Hill leading down to the town is steep, however you can always call for a taxi at the front end of the street. My children and I loved the hill (right out of a fairytale) and it overlooks Florence - stunning at night!!! We LOVED this villa and will definitely stay here again upon our return. Don't hesitate booking at all, it's better than the pictures (and I'm particular when traveling with my family). We miss it already...Grazie Mille Karin!
