We were blessed to stay in the villa's tower, with gorgeous views of the property, town, and mountains. Complete paradise for relaxation and a great launching pad for vacationing in town (Sesto), in Florence, and Tuscony. It was nice to be away from the crowded tourism of Florence, yet only be a 15 minute walk to the train station with 15 minute ride into Florence City Center. The Villa was easily accessible by taxi directly from the airport.
The family and friends crew that run the villa made us feel like family. They were very accommodating, helping us work through travel logistics challenges, and made us feel completely at home, even with an infant. We want to bring the rest of our family back here! The villa has a rich, 600+ year history, and we thoroughly enjoyed the gardens/orchards, cooking class and dinner offered during our stay. Definitely the best meal during our two-week trip.
