The property is close to Florence center, but by car a good 30 Minutes away on a very narrow, winding road. We hired Marco as driver, and could not have enjoyed the property without him taking us to Florence and other areas of Tuscany. The apartment is spacious, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The villa has plenty of towels, sheets, etc. There is a washing machine for laundry. It is fully air conditioned, a necessity in summer! The apartment is part of the family’s villa. We were welcomed with a basket of vegetables an did do most of our cooking and took dinner meals at the villa. The road is so narrow we did not venture out of the villa at any time except when driven by Marco. Having a driver nearly doubled the cost, but it was a necessity. We were there in summer and found sitting outside attracted mosquitoes. Bug repellent was forgotten, so bring that. The yard is spacious and would be nice for children to play. The owner is very available for concerns, questions. It is a quiet retreat.It was incredibly hot while we were in Italy in August!
