In our hours of researching airbnbs for our Italy vacation, this one stood out to us as one of the only ones that had 100% 5 star reviews from 100s of people…and I can say that it was exactly what we were looking for and more.
Alessandro treated us like long time friends during our 3 night stay. Gave us amazing travel recommendations, offered us his home made olive oil, and gifted us a lovely bottle of chianti wine at our doorstep when we didn’t have time to get to the correct shop. At the end of the trip he gave us a ride to the train station which was over 30 minutes away and we talked about our lives and what brought us to this point in time together. Truly the highlight of our 10 day stint in Italy even when the offseason weather wasn’t ideal.
The airbnb itself is very cute, fully equipped, clean, and comfortable. The outdoor seating area has a breathtaking view of the toscana hills, with home grown vegetables all around you.
The area is also truly unique, with very friendly cafes and restaurants less than a 5 minute walk away. Walking down the hill towards the city there are breathtaking views and beautiful vineyards all the way down.
If you are looking for an authentic experience that is a safe way to experience more than your standard Florence tourism, there is no comparison to Alessandro’s guest home. We will be looking to come back the next chance we get!
