We booked Federico' apartment extremely last minute with about half hour to check in due to a small incident which derailed our plans to travel to the countryside and left us with no option but to stay back in Florence. Sitting at SNM station with my luggage and sending out DM' to owners, I was instantly responded to by Federico with a really long welcome message with full details and I was sold. The house is a bus ride away from SNM station ( please take the bus station at Bella Firenze hotel and not via del scalla , since it's further). Once at San Goggio 5 bus stop, it's a 5-6 min rolling hill walk to Federico' beautiful and small place. Being a runner, I loved the hills ,was great for my morning run but for those with heavy luggage or knee issues , you may want to pay caution.
The house is nestled with a beautiful front garden and the house itself was so cosy ,clean and intimate. We loved it, wanted to extend our stay but weren't lucky. We were sad to leave honestly and this was our best stay in Italy (of all the air BnB).. In Federico' absence ( but his communication was so prompt and on point), we got help from Beatrice who was so warm and helpful. Fab facilities, loved the decor and warmth of the house.Great neighborhood if you are ok with the hills. Would love to have my own place modelled around the same some day. And want to certainly come back here. 🙂
