From the moment we arrived my friend and I felt at home in Cristina's villa! Cristina provided fantastic directions to get to the house as well as many tips and recommendations for things to do in Florence. The garden outside was fantastic for meals and the there were many supplies which we were able to use in the kitchen. The villa itself was fantastic- although it was a 15 minute bus (or 45 minute walk) away from the city centre so may be more suited to those who are not pressed for time.
