My wife and I just spent a wonderful week at Lorenzo's country house. The house is charming and comfortable, providing a peaceful home base for our explorations of Florence and Tuscany that allowed us to make meals when we didn't want to go out, work when we needed to using the more than adequate Wifi network, and relax in the yard.
The location was ideal for us since we like to visit cities by foot, though public transit from there would get you anywhere in the city easily. The house is just a few hundred yards south of the Arno in a very nice neighborhood with good restaurants, bars, and markets. We could walk to the center of the city in 40 minutes and up the road to the Piazzale Michelangelo (one of the best views of the city to be had) in 20 minutes. We parked out rental car right next to the house on the very quiet and safe street, and the location made for easy exits from the city for our day trips to other parts of Tuscany.
Lorenzo is an unparalled host. He greated us to show us the basics of the house, checked in on us, and was responsive to any question we had. His house manual is the best we've seen, including his recommendations for restaurants.
This was our third visit to Tuscany, and we won't consider staying anywhere else the next time we visit if Lorenzo's place is available.
