The place instantly feels like a home - even more beautiful than the photos! My friend and I stayed in this room for about a month, during our courses in Florence - we had nice long walks to the center every morning and really enjoyed being in a neighborhood not directly in the center (we could walk to more quaint nearby towns as well to get different feels of Tuscany). It was really wonderful to meet the others that would also be staying in the house - there were so many spontaneous conversations in the kitchen, the terrace during meals - but nothing intrusive. We always felt we had our own space. Roshini and her son Pasindu were incredibly welcoming and take care of the home beautifully it was an honor to be able to share the home with them. Christina although doesn't live in the home, was always available and very prompt with replying and making sure we were comfortable.
