My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon, just returning home yesterday. This charming cottage was the perfect get away. It's located on the outskirts of Florence so if you are planning to spend a lot of time near the center of the city it's probably best to have a car or be familiar with the Florence bus system which stops very close by. We did have a car and were able to find parking near the city center on numerous occasions with no trouble. You need to know how to drive a manual transmission and deal with Italian driving which is a bit crazy if you are not used to it.
There is an amazing restaurant, I’Giuggiolo, within a four minute walk of the cottage, open for lunch and dinner. It was a very local experience, affordable, and everything we had was delicious. We ate there four or five times while we were in Florence. The staff varies in their ability to speak English but there is an English version of the menu. If you can speak some Italian I recommend the Italian menu as the English translations were sometimes confusing. But even if you don't speak any Italian they are friendly and will work it out. There is also a café right next store if you just want an espresso or espresso drink and a pastry.
There are several cafés, pasticcerie, salumerie and a large grocery store all within a short walk. We stocked up on Florentine delicacies for our daily breakfast including local fruit, meats, and cheeses, especially fresh mozzarella and burrata. It was wonderful to have a local experience as an alternative to the tourist-centric city center. Alessandra had a bottle of locally produced Chianti in our room and was a terrific host, quick to respond and her English is excellent.
