The stay was amazing. The cottage was exactly as described by Federica and the pictures. It is a newly beautifully renovated gatehouse, that was very comfortable to stay in. Federica greeted us when we arrived and let us know what was nearby, and where the best food was in Florence. They were also helpful during our stay. It was in a perfect location--a very quiet spot on beautiful grounds, only a few minute walk from Porta Romana, and a 10-15 minute to the Galileo Galilee Institute where we were working. We would definitely stay here again.
