Wonderful apartment/villa, one of the best Airbnb accommodations we have had. High quality construction with a good floor plan, spacious rooms and master bathroom, well-appointed interiors, and very private location. Everything worked well and we had no issues of any kind. Alessandro was a great host, personable, easy to communicate with, and responsive. He provided insightful tips on local dining, parking, shopping, and sightseeing. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Stefano's place and highly recommend it. We will definitely stay again in our next visit to Florence.
Some tips to fellow travelers about Stefano's place. It is located in a very nice neighborhood on the hills away from the crowds and noise of Florence. All the attractions are close by and there is adequate parking at various locations around the city. You will however need a car since there is no public transportation within walking distance. The roads leading up to the villa are paved but narrow with some sharp turns. Small cars will do better than our BMW SUV. However, we had no problem driving up and down these country roads day or night. You just have to be careful and watch out for other vehicles you may encounter. Since we came in September, there were mosquitoes, a good repellent is highly recommended if you are going to spend time outside. All the windows have bug screens so you can sleep with the windows open with no problems. Stefeno's place is one of the best Airbnb accommodations we have encountered around the world in our travels.
