Our stay was really enjoyable and the views of Florence and the surrounding countryside were stunning. We were met on arrival by a local lady who explained everything in the villa and the local area so we settled in quickly. Drinks in the fridge were a nice touch to arrive to. A local mobile phone also provided us with piece of mind with ease of contact to our host in case of any problems. The pool was lovely and a fridge/ wc facility next to the pool was a good idea as it is down a hill from the villa - only a short walk but a steep one. The pool is peaceful and private. Florence and the nearest small town Fiesole are within easy driving distance. Our daughter was well provided for with a really comfortable cot, quality high hair and gate to guard against the outdoor steps to the pool. This provided for a safe play area on the terrace/ lawn outside the villa. The kitchen is well equipped and the villa overall is very comfortable.
