If Alessandro and Nicoletta’s place is free for your visit, you should absolutely book it. The space is like an in law unit, he told us that his daughters used the space at one point before they moved out and got married. First, the space - there is a microwave, small fridge, coffee percolator, tea stuff and two countertop hot plate type things if you need to use them for some reason. I didnt see pots or pans but I am sure there will be a pot or pan available if you need. You can absolutely get some breakfast or snack items to keep in the house for the duration of your trip. The garden was amazing, the view was fabulous, the space was sparkling clean and I absolutely loved our time there. The blow dryer in the bathroom is so cool, I love that thing. The bathroom is super spacious and is actually bigger than the small kitchen space you walk into. The AC was strong and I even woke up freezing once or twice so go easy on the chill function, trust me. The double layered curtains are awesome because if you are a sensitive sleeper, utilizing the second blackout layer really allows you to sleep in peacefully. The little sofa in the walk in area is more to put your bag or jacket on, or to sit on while putting on shoes. It isnt big enough to relax on or anything... but you’re in Florence so why would you need to stay in? I was a little worried when I initially booked because I saw on Google that the Airbnb was located 25 min by car from the center of Florence. Between the 25 min commute and the amazing views, I was actually expecting a much more remote location than what we found upon arrival. Alessandro and Nicoletta’s place is literally right next door to a cute little cafe called Bar Vida that opens at 7:30 so you dont have to worry about coffee, haha. Bar Vida has great cappuccinos and all sorts of breakfast pastries - try them all. The Airbnb is also literally down the block from the bus #10 depot and the #10 comes/goes every 20 minutes with the last Settignano bound bus departing Florence around 10PM. You can buy single ride tickets for €1.50 or roundtrip for €2.50 from the tabacchi across the street. Florence is really fun but it is swarming with tourists and it was actually really nice to get away from all that at the end of the day and unwind somewhere quiet. It was literally the best location to stay in and we would absolutely stay with Alessandro and Nicoletta for our next visit. Now that I’ve covered all the logistical details, let’s get to the fun part. Alessandro was hands down the best part of our trip to Italy. His hospitality, larger than life personality and infectious joie de vivre is truly a pleasure to experience. He also...
