Alessandro's place is fantastic to find some space and tranquility whilst being so close to Florence. He is an excellent host who respects privacy but is on hand and able to provide excellent local and wider information to help. The house is rustic, provides all that you need and has some great views of the hills. As a family of 5, we enjoyed the many areas within the house and garden to find our own space; reading in the hammocks (dappled in sunlight through olive branches) was a particular favourite of the children whilst a morning/evening hot tub was enjoyed by us all. We ate on the upper balcony overlooking the hills, whilst the sunset provided a fantastic changing panorama. The outskirts of Florence is 5 minutes drive where there is plenty of parking on the street and we had an easy walk into and through the city without any issues. Alessandro's directions were brilliant!
We highly recommend this.
