Anna and Isabella accommodated our early check-in and were kind enough to meet us to show us around their villa. They left us a variety of fruit, cookies and beverages that were much appreciated.
Their recommended restaurants and shops were all great. They were nice to make reservations for us too.
The location of the place is so nice. It’s away from the bustle of the Duomo, but only a 15 minute walk. There are lots of restaurants and cafes within a five minute walk, including the very lovely wine bar Enoteca Pitti Gola e Cantina. Get reservations! Nearby Piazza Santo Spirito is picturesque and lively without being crowded.
Their villa is across from the Boboli gardens. Be sure to visit these. We really enjoyed the uphill walk to the Piazzale Michelangelo and its views of the city. Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio are also quite close, yet far enough away to be out of the hustle of the tourist throngs.
The villa is behind a gate, inside an unbelievably lovely garden, and is spacious, light, and beautifully appointed. A hidden panel reveals a small, quiet washing machine, perfect for keeping you comfortable on your stay.
