Riccardo made us feel very welcome and was there to greet us on arrival. He also organised some tickets for us to go to a dinner the night before the Palio in Siena which was a great experience. We were in Florence for a month and found it easy to travel into town on the No 25 bus outside the front gate. We also found the kitchen very well stocked and did a lot of cooking at home. We had our two adult children with us for part of the time and there was plenty of space. We enjoyed the back garden and covered dining area in particular and would recommend this house to anyone as a great place from which to explore Tuscany. It is also very secure and has off the road parking. Thanks Riccardo!
