Our stay at Biancamaria's house was lovely. Florence is a beautiful must-visit city and it was great to be able to stay up in the hills but close enough for 10 min walk and 15 min ride trip by bus into the city. We walked the full way into the city the first night which took just under an hour, so if you can - take the bus! Parking was secure and easy and the bed was very comfy. We had a few issues with wifi and hot water but Biancamaria was very quick to respond to help resolve these. The walk up to the house from the bus stop is steep but lovely as you are walking through olive groves. You can stop to catch your breath and watch the farm workers gather zucchini flowers.
