Elisabetta's home is amazing.
I stayed for 10 months in the house. Initially it would be just 30 days but stayed for over 9 months. It was one of the best years of my life. A unique experience. I can only thank Elisabetta and her family.
You are within walking distance of Florence center but the atmosphere is of a real villa in campagna. The front of the house is a small dirt road where no cars pass but at the back of the house you have access to an avenue where there are buses to the center and the driveway to the house itself. So the house is perfect both with or without a car. The house has a private garden full of herbs, olive trees and a large walnut tree. The neighborhood was the former farm of the Strozzi Family. One of the most important families of Florence after the Medici. We are surrounded by woods, olive trees, birds, rivers, all just minutes from the center of Firenze. Elizabeth's parents live next door and are super attentive and always ready to help. The house itself is great, it is small but it was very clean and very well decorated. The kitchen is complete with a large refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove and electric oven. At the back we have a laundry room with washing machine and dryer. I highly recommend this house.
