| Comments: The website states the villa is 250m up the road, but it is in fact FOUR TIMES further away- 1km up the road! Very irritating when carrying a heavy bag in the rain up the very steep hill! I booked a "Double Bed Private Ensuite" room, but was given a room with an external shower & toilet. The wireless internet signal was too weak to connect to, even outside the room. As a result I ended up running a few km's around Florence in the rain to arrange alternative accommodation at the last minute. |

| Comments: Misrepresented closeness too town/buss route, unable to get anywhere without being shuttled by staff or taking taxi, staff not available for this. Minimal information provided on check in, no AC even though advertised, rooms never cleaned and no towels after check in. Breakfast minimal. |

| Comments: This is a really nice place to stay with lovely views, but if you are travelling without a car it is a fair distance to walk in and out of town eack day. Most of the staff were friendly. The only complaint we had was that you had to get in early to get some food for breakfast as most of it was not replenished. |

| Comments: People need to understand that this place is extremly difficult to get to without a vehicle. The walk is dangerous as there are no sidewalks, property walls right against the road and completley up hill. Other than the walk, the place is in a stunning location, with beautiful rooms, air conditioning and nice gardens to relax in. |

| Comments: I would recommend this villa to anyone who wants a quiet place to stay that is close to Florence. The staff was amazing, we got free rides into the city center each day we were there, a lovely free breakfast, and help with our bags on our way out. The rooms and bathrooms were beautiful and extremely clean. The price was really low for the service and location. It was just great! |

| Comments: Nadia and Andrea have a lovely villa outside Florence -- it was a very welcome retreat from big cities on our 5 city tour this fall -- they were quite accomodating with our schedule needs, had a great breakfast every morning, and terrific suggestions for restaurants and other attractions. We will stay here again when we come to Tuscany! Thank you Nadia and Andrea. |

| Comments: Lovely B&B - like walking into a museum!
The B&B is quite far out of the old part of Florence, about 35 mins walk, but they do offer a free lift in at 10am and a return lift at 6pm (a taxi at night will cost around 15 euros). This is great though as it's up on the hill so is quiet and the views from the rooms are amazing! We had the red room (suite rossa) which was a lovely large room and had a private (but not ensuit) bathroom. There was plenty of parking as they are out of the city. |

| Comments: This lovely villa has great views, a fantastic breakfast, and FIVE STAR staff who were always warm, friendly and accommodating. By far the most memorable stay in Italy. Although it\'s located a bit outside of town, the twice daily shuttles make it relatively accessible. Definitely recommended to all! |

| Comments: The most beautiful place we stayed in Italy. Spectacular views, clean, comfortable and unique. Hosts were really helpful, picked us up on arrival and they drive you to central Florence everyday. Nadia went out of her way to be helpful. The wonderful views do however come at the price of a 30 minute walk to the top of the hill - but if you use their shuttle service it is fine. |

| Comments: Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. Beautiful authentic decor and furnishings. Staff were fabulous and could not have been more helpful. Particularly enjoyed the 5 course italian meal (in the garden)offered and prepared by the owners one evening during our stay. Great opportunity to enjoy great food and conversations with other guests. Really looking forward to returning!!! |

| Comments: We rated the location high as the setting was lovely and quiet. If you wanted easy access to Florence though it is a bit of a drag. It is walkable but not very pleasant- traffic, no footpath.Transport to and from Florence on occasion. |
