Lucia is a hostess extraordinaire! Google maps brought our cab to the wrong place a couple blocks away (mind the 85A, not just 85). When we called Lucia, she cheerfully drove over two blocks to grab is and our luggage. She was also super flexible with our arrival time, which we greatly appreciated because there was a train strike that delayed our arrival by many hours. Secondly, Lucia had a map of recommendations (cafes, bus stops and places to purchase bus tickets, steak recommendation) and briefly and clearly told us where to go. Thirdly, she had a gigantic bottle of water, a fresh bottle of wine, and some juice and bread ready for us when we got there! Fourthly, this place is BEAUTIFUL. It is NOT for you if you can't make it up a flight of stairs to the lofted bed-- but man, as a someone who worked in architecture, this place (inside and outside, garden included), is a tasteful, well-designed personal retreat place. The bus 1B and the 1A (the latter stop is located a couple more blocks away) are both super close and frequent. The location is just outside enough of the city that you start to get a good view of the Tuscan hills if you go for a walk. My only gripe is the mosquitos-- but if you're good about not leaving the door open, you're fine. The place and host are outstanding!
