Our host was very gracious and pleasant. Our host offered suggestions of tours and important attractions to see. Our host's mom even took us grocery shopping, and drove us to top of hill to see Florence by night. Each morning we were greeted with full breakfast and a wonderful variety of baked goods particular to Tuscany. We didn't have a car, but our host made sure we always had a ride to and from the bus stop. In my mind, the villa, and its location was the perfect place that represents Tuscany, including our hosts.
