We had an incredible visit to Florence, much of it due to our wonderful experience staying at Maria's Bagno a Ripoli villa. The property was exactly what we expected, and Maria went above and beyond at check-in (due to a delayed train) and check-out (due to a rain storm).
Maria's property was expansive, quiet, beautiful, and conveniently situated within walking distance of all the necessary services. As avid walkers and hikers, the property's proximity to Ponte Vecchio and central Florence was also within our range and so we didn't even bother with a rental car.
Our room was quite comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. We would love to visit again in the future.
