First things first - Alex is an AIRBNB professional and an expert on hosting in Florence. If you'd like an excellent experience and someone that can address any issue with your trip in a timely manner, stay here. The villa was just as described and imaged with the most gorgeous views of the country side. It is a well equipped facility that is nicely appointed, well decorated with lots of space and numerous patios and balconies for vista viewing. Everything worked and was very clean. The neighborhood is outside the city and fantastic. It was very quiet and we felt completely safe. It is a good location for experiencing the country side and slowing down with bicycles available and an on-site hot tub. There is also an in-expensive bus for convenient trips in/out of Florence. Back to the extra's that this host was able to personally provide. They included complimentary wine and the availability of provided meals, (delicious) and even a special desert for my wife's birthday. If the mood strike's you, Alex and friends are available for friendly discussions and even a song or two. Alex went above and beyond to make sure we were fully supported and well cared for. He had a solution or answer for essentially any issue and question. It is extremely rare to find this type of resource and availability from a host. Bottom line - The property is unique, excellent and you can't go wrong with Alex as a host.
