This is a home away from home! Staying in Villa Metastasio is an experience like no other - truly life changing. My husband and I have been using Airbnb as hosts and guests for 15 years and this was the best experience either of us have had. We were there for nine days with our infant son and it was the perfect place for us. Laura made it possible for us to stay last minute when our other Airbnb fell through. It is her family home and we had the pleasure of meeting both her and her husband and hearing the history of the house. It is decorated with care and every detail is thought through, including a child gate, guide books, outlets with USB ports, comfortable beds and a VERY well stocked kitchen. She had a crib and linens and blankets for the baby from her own young son. The care that has gone into the decor and space is noticeable. So many Airbnb’s these days are “churn and burn” and the villa is the exact opposite. It is quiet and peaceful and looks out over land and fruit trees next door and a private garden and patio of your own. The neighborhood is amazing and you feel like a local. Definitely a welcome relief from the crowds and noise of the center. It has the BEST gelateria that our walking guide even recommended. And the deli and the fruit stand and pasticerria - all the best in our opinion! The walk to The Ponte Vecchio is about 20 minutes which we did most days and is very safe even at night. What else can we say?! BOOK NOW. STAY HERE for as long as you can! You won’t want to leave. We are so grateful to have had this amazing experience. Grazie mille.
