The apartment is tucked into a lovely villa surrounded by gardens and a vineyard. It has great character, is a 15-minute walk from the bus stop (the end of line 11) and just down the hill from Fiesole where there is a great restaurant suggested by Federica: The Fattoria di Maiano. We loved the view and the food.

Federica was lovely and charming. She was helpful and offered great advice. The apartment was rustic, and there were amenities we missed such as adequate hot water, but the ambiance and coziness made up for it. It's a fair walk with luggage from the car to the apartment on a garden path, but it's so beautiful that you probably won't mind the distance. We recommend this property to anyone who wants to be outside the bustle of town, doesn't require all the amenities and likes being in the country.
