I can’t say enough about my stay at Claudia’s Airbnb in Gavinana. Just 15 min by car, or 30 by bus, this beautiful home (with a view of Tuscan hills) lays outside of the craziness of Firenze. Here you will find helpful locals, shops, fresh markets, cafes that open early/close late, and the best pizza and gelato Italy has to offer. My host Claudia was very helpful from the beginning and till the very end of my four month stay - lucky me, I know. That’s why when I say the pizza and gelato which are both located conveniently at the end of the street (paradiso/heaven) are the best in all the land. Not even Naples can compare. Needless to say, even you have the chance take it. You have the chance here to stay within the foothill of some of the best wineries and by night still visit Florence and all its glory. A piece of me will always be at that house and a piece of that house will always be with me. Salute, via Paradiso!
P.S - the window view at sunrise or sunset will always be magical, it’s guaranteed.
