We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful Tuscan Villa. So very thankful to Daniela for the opportunity to experience this slice of Tuscan Heaven. The house was exactly as described, our beds were very comfortable. The location is the best of both worlds, it's just outside of the city center approximately 20 min- feels like you're in the country, but it's just across the street from the bus stop. My favorite was the beautiful view and the scent of lavender from the lavender fields on the property.
Mrs.Barbara, Daniela's neighbor, welcomed us at the gate upon check-in and showed us the ins/outs of the home. A few tips to mention, we visited in mid October, the weather was beautiful, however, the home does not have air conditioning. This wasn't a huge deal for us because of the weather, but worth mentioning. Nice fans were thoughtfully included. With the beautiful fields come the not so beautiful mosquitos- so we didn't leave the windows open at night and snagged some bug repellant at the pharmacy located just up the street from the house. We rented a car to drive to the house and for meals, this was very helpful for getting around near the villa. We used the bus for our travel into Florence for sight seeing etc. The kitchen was equipped for cooking, however we ate out. We highly recommend http://www.ristorantezocchi.it/ a local favorite recommended by Mrs. Barbara, we visited twice. Ice trays were a sight for sore eyes as ice is a hard find in European countries! Thank you Daniela for an unforgettable visit, we loved our bottle of wine and lavender welcome gifts! We hope to visit again in the future!
