The three of us really enjoyed our month stay at the country house. The home is great - situated out of Florence and a wonderful location if you’d like to be just out of the hustle and bustle of Florence. Easily accessible by two bus routes - one just a two minute stroll from the home, and around 20 minutes to the centre of Florence. There are great areas to explore locally - walks to Settignano and the Castle, and some great local restaurants, bakeries and a gelateria (best gelato I had in Florence). The hosts give excellent recommendations for these local places.
The home had everything we possibly needed - Elisabetta, Piera and Roberto are extremely lovely, generous and genuine people - always around if we needed anything, and went our of their way to make our time great. Elisabetta, Piera, Roberto and our lovely neighbours and their dog Mila made our stay extra special and it really felt like a home. Both our bedrooms had air conditioning so we were able to stay cool during summer. The two double beds are very separated in the house so we had plenty of space and great for two couples. Plus there is a little single bed in a mezzanine in one bedroom for an extra bed!
The house has everything you need - we did a lot of cooking (thank you Piera for the sage & butter sauce recipe) - and the outdoor courtyard is just stunning - we essentially lived outside.
