Davide’s studio was gorgeously situated in the hills just outside of Florence. I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation walking into town every morning and back each night. If, like me, you do not drive, make sure you have sensible walking shoes— it’s a beautiful 40-ish minute walk down to the city! Otherwise, a taxi from town is reasonable at around 12-13€.
Davide was very flexible and helpful (even when I locked myself out of the apartment, grazie!!). If you want access to the city with the peace and quiet of nature, I cannot recommend this apartment enough. Can’t wait to come back again!
