Gianni´s Pink House was the perfect stay for us, specially since we wanted to experience magical Florence and not the overcrowded Florence. It is an easy 20 min bus ride away from Florence which was perfect as our rented car is not allowed in or close to the city center. We travelled throughout Tuscany using this house as our home base and, actually, the most exciting part of our day was coming back after a historic town visit, postcard views of rolling hills or creamy gellato. The house itself is even better than the pictures. The views are amazing, the garden so peaceful, the house so comfortable with everything we need to cook and enjoy “la dolce vita”. We even got local produce made by Gianni himself. And then there was our host Gianni. Our daughter found a surrogate grandfather and we found a friend who we will miss a lot. The best part about travelling is getting to know the locals and we are sure we got the best of them. Of coarse, Gianni will give you your space unless you seek him out. We seeked him out regularly and it was the best part of our trip.
