We chose this lovely place as split time between being in downtown Florence and an escape to the peaceful countryside. We were interested in something historic and this truly fit. Our hosts are lovely people who gave us a tour and the history of the castle and their family. And we had fresh eggs for breakfast!! The space is cozy and has what you need to make your stay complete. We did rent a car in order to travel more of the Tuscan countryside, and it was a 15-30 minute drive back into Florence. We visited early March, but I can imagine the grounds are brimming with gardens and trees in bloom. I enjoyed sitting in the courtyard overlooking the landscape while reading and journaling.
