Marco's place was the best stay I had in my travels through Italy. I'm so glad I had booked it at the beginning and the end of my trip - it felt like I was coming home! Marco picked me up from the train station on my return, which was above and beyond the call of duty!
Even though this place is a little off the beaten path, there is a bus stop literally right outside. I took a picture of the bus schedule, so I always was out and about with little to no waiting to get into Florence or back again. I loved the beauty and solitude at the beginning and end of each day.
Marco would check up on me now and again to make sure I was faring well and to see if I needed anything. He has a Rick Steves guide book and his own recommendations as well with maps. So, not only did I have great lodgings, I had a very caring host!
When I return to Firenze, I will definitely stay here again!
