Guidetta made us feel very welcome and despite our arriving earlier than forecast, she greeted us warmly with an introduction to the villa, to the amenities and to attractions in the area. After a long journey the complimentary "goody bag" selection of fruit, wine etc was particularly enjoyable. The villa surpassed our expectations in terms of quality, comfort and location - hotel standard with homely feel. It was also very well equipped for all our needs - particularly in the kitchen. The scenery and views are spectacular! A pleasant walk into the centre of Florence (downhill all the way) took around 40 minutes - longer returning! A great place to stay and well placed to visit Florence and, with a hired car, a good base to travel further afield.
