Alessandro was a great host, check-in and check- out were easy. Staying in the room made us feel like we were a part of history. The room is really large, with a table for dinner and fold out bed. There is a shared bathroom and kitchen with the others in the house. The place is outside Florence, we love walking and its about a 45 min walk into the main area, or there is a short bus trip that leaves right outside. Florence was wonderful exploring, it really is a lovely city and would highly recommend. I would recommend staying with Alessandro if you want to get out of the hustle and bustle that is Florence. He gave is some great tips as well.
