We stayed at this villa for the full month of June, 2017. Our entire stay was positive beyond our expectations. The house is in the foothills above Florence and looks out to the west through the trees to one of the most beautiful sunsets in Tuscany. Each evening the soft glowing light bathed the yard and the house. Somehow it exemplified our month. We were greeted by Lucia's son, Fabio, who showed us all the details of the house. Lucia came over later and welcomed us with a huge smile and lively conversation (in a mix of Italian and English). While it was very hot for much of our stay in Florence, the house remained cool. We did use the AC at night for sleep and it was very effective, but we didn't need it the rest of the time. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms convenient. I am a cook and prepared a broad range of dishes in the nice kitchen, including Tuscan beans and pork, various pizzas, apricot jam from the fruit brought to us by Lucia. There is also a barbecue house just outside, where I barbecued ribs and the famous Scottona Reale Tuscan T-Bone steak. TV worked great though we didn't use it much and the wi-fi was fine. You do need a car to stay at this villa, and we used it as a base to explore much of the Tuscan countryside, including Pisa, Siena, Arezzo, San Gimignano, Parma, the Tuscan shore, and various Etruscan sites. It was a perfect locale for us. As a goodbye present, Lucia presented me with a beautiful book of Italian from "Nonna". We give it our highest possible recommendation.
