We just spent 2 wonderful weeks with friends and family at Villa Gourmet in July.
The villa itself is beautiful, very clean and has all the extra little touches to make you truly feel at home. The attention to detail is something we have not seen anywhere else in the previous homes we have rented all over the world.
What makes this place even more special is the family that owns and takes care of it. Stefano, his brother Fabrizio and their Mama are amazing, tremendously kind, funny and helpful to the point that we were overwhelmed! Small example, I am in a wheelchair and completely bent my front wheel getting on a tram in Florence, Stefano came right away the next morning, took the time to take it off, drove it to a mechanic, brought it back fixed and installed it back on my wheelchair and wouldn't accept a penny for it!
The pool area is wonderful, relaxing and beautiful, the pool itself is super clean and lovely, we were even treated to watching the Italian army parachute training right above us which was fun to watch.
We decided to have Fabrizio cater for us almost every other night, well we wish we had done it every night! The food, service and setting were so amazing and delicious that going to restaurants after the Fabrizio experience is almost dissappointing. Truly special for all of us!
We also did the pizza workshop with Stefano and Guido which made for another special, fun day leaving us with the best of memorable memories!
Add to that there are so many beautiful places to visit around the area, Lucca, Collodi, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence, Cinque Terra, Forte dei Marmi, all so beautiful and enchanting!!
We will definitely be back, thank you Stefano, Fabrizio and family for a truly special and unforgettable time!!!!
