We are so sad to leave this beautiful home and expansive, beautiful gardens! Every room is peaceful and relaxing! Giovanni met us at the house to check us in. He was incredibly helpful and friendly. I felt like I was in an Italian film, preparing food in the charming kitchen, waking up in my beautiful bedroom with huge veranda, relaxing with a glass of chianti in the gorgeous living room and sitting under the trees on the comfortable outdoor furniture. There is an extra little " dressing room" upstairs that is perfect for ironing and keeping extra luggage. This location was wonderful as there were no other tourists, just local Florentine people living here. We got to learn about the culture and lifestyle in a way we would not have been able to do in a traditional hotel. We would love to stay again on our next trip to Firenze. Thanks Simona for being a wonderful host! Jennifer, Robert, Sophia and Matthew
