Elisabetta's charming country house was absolutely perfect for us. Elisabetta was on vacation so her generous/amazing/friendly parents (Roberto and Piera) were our hosts while we were there. Upon arrival, I knew that this place would be special... Roberto greeted us, showed us around the place and the gorgeous property, which (as stated before) is in a quiet village/town. Piera joined the tour and was so full of energy and enthusiasm that it made us feel immediately happy and at home. They invited us into the main house, where they live, to enjoy some lemonade (and limoncello) with them. They also made some great suggestions for food options nearby -- Roberto printed out a list of recommendations for us.

After a few days when we were leaving, Roberto and Piera invited us in again for espresso and cookies :) Then, Piera insisted that we take a small walk to the top of their garden where you can look back and see a stunning panoramic view of Florence. They then took us on a small detour through the garden where we sampled young figs fresh from their trees and admired the many other trees (peach, plum, olive) that will be yielding fruit throughout the year.

There is so much charm and authenticity to this place that it makes me sad for those who couldn't have found something like this before Airbnb.

The cottage itself is charming, clean, and comfortable. I have no complaints at all and would recommend anyone to stay with this kind family at this beautiful home.
