Guidos place is much better than the pictures. In fact it is a 13 th century mansion. It is a fusion of the Tuscan landscape yet on the outskirts (walking distance) of Florence. After getting your dose of history and culture you can then retire to this oasis with a swimming pool overlooking the Picturesque rolling hills peppered with old churches and towers including the house of Galileo. The house itself is stylishly and comfortably firnished with a well appointed kitchen able to cater for a family of 5. To top it all off the hosts dedicated time and effort to show us around florence and it's surrounds. We will come back here next time we come to florence. Guidos place highly recommended.
