Il melograno was by far the best self catering we’ve ever been to. It ticks every box. The location strikes the perfect balance between being close to the centre of Florence and being in a secluded land surrounded by olive trees. Shops, cafe’, pizzeria, bakery and rosticceria are 10 minutes walking distance, while an enormous, well stocked supermarket is just 5 minutes away by car. We had everything we needed and more! Our hosts were so welcoming and surprised us with wine, biscotti and their own olive oil! The house is lovely, very nicely decorated with a brand new kitchen where we could easily cook an English roast with all the trimmings for our Italian family. The children loved playing in the olive grove and spending time in the treehouse. They also enjoyed the swings and the trampoline. They didn’t want to leave and neither did we.
