The view is outstanding and far in excess of anything you can glean from the pictures. It’s as though someone has managed to morph a Tuscan villa into a small apartment. It has that quaint old world charm with wonderful views over Firenze and the Tuscan hills. Despite being small, the kitchen is fully functional, and I was able (nee enjoyed) cooking most nights using delicious local ingredients. There are indeed a lot of steps, but it is worth it. We managed it for 2 weeks (longer let) and loved how we could combine the hustle and bustle of Florentine life at street level, with the tranquility of the balconies and view over the hills - especially with a chilled glass of Vermentino as you watch the sun go down. Magical.
Fede is a lovely host, extremley helpful and good to communicate.
