Lucia's villa was beautiful. It is located about 15 minutes or less (depending on traffic) outside the city of Florence by car. There is also a nearby tram that takes you to the city center. The view from the garden is fantastic too. Lucia was a perfect host - she even drove us to the city center herself. We truly appreciate the attention, care and service she gave us. I'd recommend this place to people who want to enjoy both the city and the Tuscan area.
