We loved our time just out of Florence! Frederica was extremely helpful and kind - picked us up from the bus (and back again when it was raining!), showed us around the nearby town and gave us tips. We felt right at home. The apartment is lovely and private - cosy and comfortable bedroom (along with many books about the area), great shower, and well-equipped kitchen. The country surroundings made us feel like we were a long way from a city, but the apartment is about 10 mins walk from the bus station and only 20 mins from the centre of Florence. A great place from which to explore nearby Fiesole (beautiful!) and not far to Lucca and other towns although we didn't go there.
We would recommend Frederica's apartment.
