Exactly as described the house is outside Florence, on a hill, surrounded by a beautiful Tuscan landscape. It is quiet and absolutely calming, you can walk or sit in the garden (the only thing to py attention to were some mosquitos, so keep your windows closed in the summer when you turn on the lights;-). We walked all the way to the city center and back in the evening, which is a very nice walk of about 25 minutes. Otherwise someone from the house can bring you to the bus stop, you just have to coordinate that and see if the caddy has time (or call a cab if you don't like walking).

The breakfast is very nice and more than sufficient. It was served in the beautiful common room.
