Overall: It was the most wonderful place. So very near Firenze and yet in the quiet and lovely countryside. The administrator was very helpful and charming. We enjoy every moment. Enjoyed Most: The peaceful atmosphere, the view, the kindness of the manager. The perfect location. Surrounding Area: The wonderful view since the property is at the top of a hill and you can see the surrounding countryside. One night we could see a couple of deer crossing the property. Nearby Events or Locales: Yes, the nearest small town is Grassina, which is walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: The property is so well located that you can dine in Florence and be at your villa in 7 minutes drive.We rented a car so it was very easy to come and go everywhere. Directions: We certainly used a GPS. I cannot think of anything more useful. We highly recommend it. Check In Out: Everything went very smoothly, much easier than expected. The people at the billas were just super warm and kind. We spent a GREAT vacation. Very recommendable.
