Where do I start. We were greeted at the airport in Florence By Antonella and Luca. Luca drove us back to the beautiful house which Cristina was awaiting for us at with fresh Mozzarella and tomato Caprese, Prosciutto, Crostini and of course wine. Cristina made us feel like family. We ate and she gave us a tour of the house. Went over a possible itinerary which Cristina put together for us of our week in Tuscany, Florence and sienna. We have never been to Italy before and she made the planning so easy for us. Who would be a better planner of that then someone who lives their. It was the perfect itinerary. Crisina drove us to visited wineries for tours and tastings which she made all the reservations for so thankful, Drove us to all the important towns in Tuscany, And to her home town of Florence which she walked around to explain all the sites. We also had plenty of family time together. A special thank you to Luca for giving us the tour of Siena with Cristina. We even went to places that only the locals would know. They both explained the history of Siena. We had lunch in Siena at Te Ke Voi which I highly recommend great experience. We had the best Pizza ever at La Veranda Pizza and Cucina in Siena. What a wonderful restaurant experience with Luca and Cristina. In Greve in Chianti there is also so many things to do in town. Great restaurants local, supermarket and butcher shops right down the street, shopping and wine bars. All within walking distance. You can spend so much time just walking around Greve. The house is in a great location with a bus stop around the corner which goes to Florence and Siena very convenient. There even local banks and atm machines to convert into euros. The house was very comfortable with air conditioning. Four spaces bedrooms with a living room and a wonderful kitchen. Of the kitchen is a balcony with table and chairs bistro style to enjoy espresso or a glass of wine. All the locals were very nice.They have a fantastic backyard with table and chairs. They even have a wood burning fireplace/oven which I cooked Bistecca Fiorentina in thank you Luca for the recommendation. Had to cook in Italy at least one day since I love to cook. The house location was perfect to enjoy Italy. I recommend using Crisitna as your tour guide she is wonderful. We now have a new family in Greve with Crisina, Antonella and Luca. Cannot wait to come back.
Thank you so much for all the memories,
