Great location even closer to Florence than we expected. Nice to be up on the hill in the countryside since we stayed in cities during the rest of our trip. We were grateful to have the welcome basket we ordered waiting for us and we enjoyed cooking the first night in the kitchen. The washing machine was a welcome amenity at that point in our trip. Alex very kindly prepared the mountain bikes for us but we decided it was too steep and hilly to explore by bike with our children from this location. However, we enjoyed walking all around to the nearby church and to Omero for a delightful dinner. Diane could not have been sweeter sharing her stories of life at the villa and the olive harvest season. Loved the garden patio with the view, great location for sipping wine in the evening after a long day touring Florence by foot. Slightly disappointed in the heat in the upstairs rooms and inability to cool it off in the evening by opening windows because of the mosquitos, but it was fine for our teenagers. The WC/shower on the first floor could use some updating. Overall, a good experience and great location just outside Florence.
