I can't imagine a better way to discover the wonders of Firenze than by staying at "Il Palmerino"!
The beautiful villa and the enchanted garden are the perfect getaway from the city buzz. It's very easy to reach the middle of everything by bus (a nice, short walk through the Florentine hills to the bus stop plus a 15-20 minute ride), though.
Federica has great insider knowledge about the city and the museums (she knows where to buy tickets without standing in line for hours, for example, which was great advice for us) and is happy to share it with you. She is a wonderful, approachable and helpful host and takes care of everything. We felt so very welcome!
Staying inside these ancient walls is a special treat. The apartment is beautifully renovated and equipped with all modern comfort you might need. Heating, dishwasher, guides for Florence and Tuscany, lovely details and antiques, it's all there.
The garden is just mesmerizing. Olive trees, a vineyard, sharon fruit, lemon trees, it's a paradise.
Il Palmerino is a fantastic refuge for art lovers and people who dream of secret gardens close to the benefits of a city. We in want to come back as soon as possible!
