Scilla's apartment is great; from the clean modern feel of the property to the secure designated parking.
Scilla's friend Ivana made us feel very welcome, and showed us all the amenities (including our first home-made Italian coffee) before some tips on where best to spend our time in Tuscany.
We went shopping at the Pam supermarket (open till 23:30) 10mins down the road and had dinner on the balcony the first night.
The following morning we took a 20min stroll along the river and right into the heart of Florence.
