one of our favorite stays! we ended up here a bit by accident, but we’re grateful we did. maria and her husband were so accommodating and kind. the villa is spectacular, feels more like a home that you can call your own with a lovely bedroom, room for storage and entire kitchen across two floors. we spent a lot of time reading and relaxing in the patio garden and laying out in the expansive backyard. although just out of the city, the walk to bus in town is seamless and there’s a great little coffee shop there for while you wait. this was a fantastic way to get a more local experience and if you rent a car for day trips like we did takes all the worry and stress out of parking. we definitely plan on returning and miss it already! highly recommend to all traveling to florence looking to have a memorable experience.
