Outstanding Villa with pool in Florence - highly recommended
We were a group of ten friends staying in Florence to celebrate a birthday.
A warm welcome awaited us. The villa itself is sizable, though for a little extra we hired the cottage too. All the rooms are tastefully, ornately and traditional appointed while all the bathrooms (most are ensuite) are wonderfully modern.
The grounds are extensive (you occasionally see the gardeners during the morning) affording you a privacy hard to find elsewhere in Florence. The lanai has a large table to seat all and a separate lounging area.
The pool became a favourite fixture for our group - it's large enough and deep in parts and is scrupulously clean without that horrible whiff of chlorine!
Getting into town requires a little planning if you are to use buses - simple enough when you master the time tables. If you are fit, and blessed with good weather, it's not that far to walk into town. However, the nearby huge supermarket and the excellence restaurant in Gavinana gives you more than enough reason to stay closer to home.
The wifi was intermittent during our trip but the temporary road works nearby surely was playing a part in that.
As hosts, Ginevre and her mother Mrs Fortuny, and their welcome host Cristina, were all wonderfully welcoming and responsive to any requests we had. We also hired Ingrid on their recommendation to cook our three course meal which was sensational.
What puts this location ahead of other potential destinations in Florence is that its extensive, comfortable and private. Within hours of arriving, it feels less of a house and more of a home. It is large enough so even a group of ten adults didn't feel they were living on top of each other.
I take away very happy memories of our stay in this beautiful Tuscan Villa.
