Stefano's home is a beautiful, large old house in the Tuscan countryside close to Florence, only a 20 minute taxi ride from the train station. Breakfast every morning was a tasty array of yoghurt, fruit, cereal, coffee, tea, juice, bread, croissants and other pastries. The garden is full of roses, olive trees and vines, and there are chairs, sunbeds and a hammock for enjoyment of the peaceful surroundings. The family was very friendly and made me feel quite at home. As I had no car stefano's mother took me to the bus stop on my last day. I hope to be able to return one day.
