We had a beautiful holiday in Florence! The house is exactly as described. It is surrounded by vast stretches of agricultural area. We saw many deer, rabbits and pheasants on our short walks in the olive groves and fields. The pool was the perfect size for us. It had a lot of sun and some shade too as of 4PM. Although the property is super close to Florence, walking to the center is just too far with 2 younger children with no passion for walking. But Bene offered some excellent tips on how to get there fast and hassle free by car or bus. The house has some travel guides and a folder containing nearby highlights. (Restaurants, monuments, specialties) a big supermarket ‘Esselunga’ is only 5 mins by car. A huge hypermarket is 10 minutes away (a Coop). The house can be reached with a big car. (Which is not always the case elsewhere)
I would definitely recommend this house if you want to explore the vibrant atmosphere of Florence, but want to relax and hear nothing but crickets and the occasional popping of your next bottle of wine at night.
