A wonderful, family-filled oasis just minutes outside the hustle and bustle of Florence! As my husband and I said to each other, the pictures don't even do this place justice. So warm, inviting. Feels like you are staying with the owners because you are just so comfortable inside this home. Amenties for our 2 year old son were perfect. High-chair, gate at top of stairs, pack n playwith extra sheets and tons of toys! The backyard is great to run off energy before walking a short 20-30 minutes on a lovely route to the center of Florence for shopping, meals and adventures. And restaurant options withint 2-3 minutes of the home are just as amazing as the ones near the center of the city-- so there is no reason to leave far if you don't need to. Parking was super simple, and we felt beyond safe at the top of the hill behind gates and many locked doors. :) The owners met us late in the evening to help give us a rundown of the property, and even had delicious snacks waiting for us after a long travel day. We even woke up to pastries on the front porch the next morning-- which was such a pleasant and yummy surprise. Highly recommend this place for families with kids or families traveling with their extended family as well. There is side room that has a couch/bed, bathroom and kitchen-- so if you were to travel with others they have their own space which is lovely. Make sure to sneak to the top of the hill in the backyard and catch the rise on the tippy top of the Duomo in the mornings. Such a beautiful surpise. Can't wait to stay again!
