This is an exceptional place to stay! A fabulous apartment in a beautiful villa on a very quiet cul-de-sac in the hills overlooking Florence. To say the description is accurate is something of an understatement as the setting and views exceeded our expectations. Also the apartment itself is furnished comfortably and very attractively and carefully designed to a very high standard.
In addition to the wonderful apartment we also really appreciated the very helpful and thoughtful service we received from Rosalba, who really couldn't have been more helpful, particularly arranging taxis for us on the day we were leaving. This was really very helpful!
The terrace by the house has spectacular views over Florence and now also has a fantastic new elevated deck giving an even better viewing point. The pool was great, as was the new larger poolside patio area just newly completed with its excellent loungers. These are really good improvements on what must have already been very good facilities.
Having a local mobile phone was a useful benefit for us for keeping touch with Rosalba and getting taxis.
We were also very grateful for the help we got with our home shopping order on the day we arrived, both in unloading the shopping and liaising with the driver for us.
We used the 25/25A bus to get in and out of Florence - get on at Bolognese Vecchio 06 by the traffic lights. Coming back stay on the bus longer and get off at Bolognese 21 and walk down the hill to the house's road, rather than getting off at La Lastra. The ATAF app is really useful for using the public transport network in Florence. We bought Carta Agile from the S. M. Novella station when we arrived by train (go to Window 8 in the station entrance hall) which seem good value and are easy to use.

We and our 2 friends spent a fantastic week in this idyllic spot and would highly recommend it.
By the way - we used the wi-fi and food lift successfully all week!
