Luca met us at check in and gave us great information on restaurants (both within walking distance of the villa and in the heart of Florence) as well as public transportation (the bus was easy to use and it’s only around 15-20 minutes to the heart of Florence). The villa was lovely and clean and offered all the amenities we needed. It was also wonderful to have safe, free parking! We used this villa as our home base to explore Tuscany after visiting Florence, as it’s only 1.5 hours at most from many lovely towns (many are closer, too)- Orvieto, Lucca, Pienza, and Fiesole were some of our favorites. It was also nice that when we came back each evening we had a common space to hang out in before heading to bed.
