An absolute gem in, for us, an ideal location...close enough to walk to everything, far enough away to have solitude. Casa Ventura is amazingly spacious with the highest highest quality of amenities. Karin's hospitality is above and beyond. So so kind. The Villa is located on a hill but there is a wide path right at the entrance that takes one down to the city center in 15 minutes. For some it might feel steep and when raining can be slippery but we enjoyed the walk both going down and walking back up after a wonderful meal in the city. The view going down is amazing as you can see all of Florence. It is a magical place. I would give it 5/5 stars and recommend highly.
