THE highlight of our vacation!
We spent a couple of nights in Florence near Santa Croce thinking we'd escape to the hills for some isolation and book reading. The cottage fits the bill perfectly, situated in the hills between a couple of vineyards and near absolute silence around us. We contracted with the host ahead of time for a private dinner on the second night ... words cannot do it justice. Every bit delicious and the company as good.
The host has a list of partners that we took advantage of, making a couple of days trips to sites both near and far.
Would give this place 10 stars if I could, it's that good!
