Our host made us feel very welcome and was always on hand to ensure our short stay went well. Fabulous home made breakfast included and lovely location to visit the Medici Villas outside the city centre. Monica helped us with local information including opening times.

A very helpful owner. A beautiful large garden. A short car drive from the Castello train station where you can park your car for free and go enjoy Firenze by train.

In a lovely setting, we had a very enjoyable 3 night stay. Good for those travelling by car. Monica was a wonderful host. Would definitely recommend. And thank you Monica for introducing us to the AqAbA restaurant. We loved it!

Exceptional location, lovely host. Everything good

Piervincenzo Italy

Monica has hosted us very nicely. Very peaceful and quiet location. Handmade cakes and pies at breakfast was great. You should taste the homemade olive oil. The rooms are immaculate and cleaned every day again. The espresso service each morning is a very nice gesture.
