Exceptionally tranquil and relaxing villa in the Tuscan hills. No highway noise or downtown party noise, just a constant mild breeze filled with the songs of a variety of birds.
Close enough to downtown Florence to see all the sights, either via the free hotel shuttle or by 30-minute walk if you don’t mind the incline (or the heat, it gets pretty warm and humid). Likewise, close to the meeting points for many 3rd party excursions (aside: the off-road wine safari was a lot of fun).
Bed was very comfy and the room and grounds were kept very clean.
The scenery was amazing, and the substantial garden made for a comfortable place to relax in the afternoon. Service was very good, the bar was well stocked, and the restaurant served some stellar meals, both at lunch, and at dinner enjoyed outside by sunset. The buffet breakfast was also very good.
I would definitely return!
