We had a wonderful stay at Maria's house. Although we didn't speak much Italian, they were great hosts and even got a translator out so they could communicate with us. The house has everything you need, from the kitchen utensils so you can make yummy Italian meals to the bathroom where she had many towels, soap, shampoo etc. The bathroom lights are awesome, like a little disco in the shower! The house is located at the back of hers and with the buildings being quite tall, it doesn't get very much sun however we were out most of the days anyway as we were planning our wedding that we are having not too far from her place next year. The town is small and is only a minute walk from the property. It has a few nice restaurants and shops where you can get small supplies, otherwise you can catch the bus into Florence which takes 20 mins or 30 depending on time of day to go to shopping. I would advise knowing a few Italian words, this helps and they do appreciate the effort! A guy who owns Caffe Desiderio in the town (only a minute walk) is lovely and speaks English which helped us. I highly recommend staying here and thankful to Maria and her husband for being really helpful and caring hosts they even gave us welcome fruit, nuts, bread and oil which was so lovely of them. Grazie mille Maria, fino a quando la prossima volta.
