We had an amazing time at Anna's house. She was easy to communicate with, and extremely friendly and informative when we arrived. Her entire family were so helpful and generous. Anna and her mother drove us to the station and to the shops so we could buy groceries. They also drove us to the site of my conference. They were so helpful with our son too, and allowed us to stay a little longer in their home so he could have an afternoon nap. The house is beautifully appointed, very comfortable and easy to travel into Florence from. It's so peaceful here: the garden and olive grove provide gorgeous views of Florence, without the maddening tourists, so we only left to go to the center when we absolutely had to! We really had a marvelous time.
