A bit of paradise come down to earth is the only way to describe Anna's idyllic setting. The grounds are stunning and tranquil and the welcome is warm and sincere. Anna and her mother, Doreen, were amazing hosts, making our stay pure joy! The accommodations are upscale, impeccably clean, and attuned to address travelers' needs (by request we received starter grocery items, rides to the bus stop, bus schedule, information and suggestions about Florence).

Taxi fares from the airport run 30 euros and around 23 to 27 euros from in-town. Bus 25 (La Lastra to San Marco and about 10-15 minutes from the door) gets you in town. Although a car is an advantage, it is only for those with strong hearts, high tolerance levels, fine-tuned skills, and usually only get you to the boundaries of downtown Florence. We would highly recommend.
