First off, Serena is GREAT! and her place is so cosy, you will never want to leave. The balcony has a gorgeous view of the hills (i'm not sure what hills, but give you the exact tuscan feel you are looking for!), the bed is huge and comfy, a tv with italian channels(trust me, I loved watching it even though I understood nothing! :P), and clean and spacious bathroom and a perfect kitchen. I felt like I belonged!

Serena as a person is warm and very sweet and welcoming. I met her the day I left and didn't after that as she used to be back late or my boyfriend and I would be back late... nevertheless, she was always there to help whenever I messaged her and she really gives you your space.

The only drawback we faced though was that the buses were not really predictable. It was only until the 3rd day (the day we were leaving) did we discover the ataf.net app which shows you the right bus timings. But as a tourist on roaming, this proved to be a bit of a constraint, also cause I didn't notice Serena mentioned she had no WiFi.

If you are one of those enthusiastic ones though, I would encourage you to start early and end late. We almost always started our tours at 10.50 and by the time we got to our destination, it was 11.30pm.

Her place is a little far from the center (45mins approx) but it was something we overlooked mostly because of how much we loved her place!

Thank you so much Serena! I will always remember Florence with the morning views from your balcony! <3
