We enjoyed our visit to Villa Acacia immensely! There were 9 in our party and there was plenty of space for everyone, it could easily have slept more. The villa is comfortable, very clean, and the gardens are beautiful. The views of Florence from every bedroom and the terraces were spectacular. We had breakfast on the patio outside the kitchen, lunch by the pool, and cocktails on the terrace from the second floor. The rooftop terrace had striking views as well. Cooking was fun, and the dining room accommodated all of us comfortably. There is a small square within a 5 minute walk with a tobacco/coffee shop, post office, market and a gas station. The shop keepers were very friendly. There is a bus stop a short walk from the villa, and the bus rides into Florence were only about 15 mins. There is a small town close by called Fiesole where we went twice for dinner and it was very quaint. Last but not least, there is Lorenzo. He is a delightful host that makes you feel like a true guest in his home. He has a book with basic information available from transportation, things to do, restaurants, vineyards, etc. We called him for travel advice and he was congenial and gave us good information.

We look forward to a future visit to Villa Acacia!
