Alessandro's home is so adorable and quiet. My mom and I loved getting out of the hustle of the city. The home is very clean, comfortable and was the perfect size for the 2 of us.

Alessandro and his cousin Cristina were so warm and welcoming. Alessandro even left us a bottle of wine with a sweet note. Whenever there was someone around in the morning, they gave us a ride to the bus stop (only a few minutes away). Alessandro and Cristina ensured we knew how to get to and from the house, including how and where to get bus tickets. And when we locked ourselves out of those house, someone came right away to make sure we could get back in.

It's only a short walk (through a beautiful neighborhood) and a 10 minute bus ride into the heart of Florence. It's really the perfect spot to be close to the city while getting a peaceful place to decompress.

I would recommend Alessandro as a host and would love to stay in his country house again in the future.
