We cannot say enough good things about this property. It was beautifully decorated and located in a very tranquil setting. You really felt like you escaped into another world. The photos were accurate but better in person and it was extremely clean and well kept. We really enjoyed the owners. They went above and beyond any expectations that you would have. The property was located near many many things to do and see! I would recommend this property to anyone! Thanks you and much love from the USA!

I would highly recommend staying at this lovely apartment (the Mona Lisa - make sure to scroll down to the end of the owner’s description for a fun historic fact about the property). It was a perfect place to relax, a fabulous view and a great starting point for visiting both Florence and Siena. Our children (ages 9 and 7) loved the yard, feeding the chickens and chatting with Gianna (owner). We enjoyed an extremely tasty dinner in nearby San Donato. The cottage was exceptionally clean, wonderfully decorated, comfortable and spacious. It was an absolutely perfect place for a family of four. For those traveling in the cold season, be careful because the price for heating was extra and we were surprised with how expensive it was. Otherwise, we loved our time there and think others will too.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, pet owners, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
