Elena was prompt to answer my messages, however, we didn't get to meet her but we met the lovely Teresa; the house keeper. she was extremely sweet and helpful and she explained everything we needed to know. Also elenas grandmother and family are just wonderful :)

the tree house is in the garden infront of elenas grandmothers house. its beautiful, sunny and has a great view. it also has everything you need, very clean and the bed is comfortable. I would recommend you get a car because that is probably the only way you can explore the area around. it is very close to florence but still "outside" florence.
