The stunning view from this villa is one you will remember for the rest of your life. From almost every room, you overlook a picture-postcard view of Florence and the Tuscan countryside. The villa is bright, and the terrace could not be lovelier – a day was not complete without espresso in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon in this generous, private, open space. The location truly is "the best of both worlds". We were a 10-minute stroll down the meandering romanic path to the city gates. And matching the place, the host, Karin, is immediately responsive to every request. Back home in the US our family is still dreaming about this exquisite home away from home. We count ourselves lucky and can't wait to be back. Thank you, Karin!
