We didn't see much of the host apart from when we arrived and caught him in the middle of dinner - sorry for that. We were out a lot. The house is nice but a lot smaller than we thought. The rooms are tiny apart from attic where it's large and spacious. The wifi was very weak. Location is splendid and close to Florence if u want to be living in the quiet this is the place. The pictures are far more flattering than the actual house, I must say - but then that is marketing :-)
