Karin’s luxurious little villa was the perfect spot for our visit to the city of Florence and surrounding Tuscan wineries. The property is located on the outside of town – about a 15-minute walk into the city - and overlooks rolling hills lined with olive trees and gorgeous villas in typical Tuscan style. The care Karin took in renovating this property is evident the moment you walk in the door and she went above and beyond to provide every little amenity (i.e. yoga mat, phone chargers, flat iron for the ladies). From rain showers to electric shades – nothing is overlooked. Although this property is four levels, there is an elevator to make trips easier. One recommendation for travelers is to book a car - the property gets its views from being perched atop a hill which is a bit of a steep climb to the nearest restaurant or café. It would be ok for the young and fit but for the average person, it is a little difficult to navigate - even downhill. We ordered a taxi to the center of Tuscany for dinner and it came to 40 Euro round trip for 5 adults whereas a car rental is about 20 Euro/day (we used Hertz – five minutes from the train station). One place that is an easy walk, and a must visit, is the Piazza Michelangelo for spectacular sunsets – arrive early to get your spot as it gets crowded! Overall Karin and her stunning luxury villa made this a perfect trip for our family.
