The best host in Italy! When I mentioned allergies, the proprietor went out and purchased two new foam pillows. When I needed help with venue reservations, she worked to set up visits at the Duomo, Uffizi and Accademia. When I asked for a nearby laundromat, she put our clothes in her washing machine. Can anyone ask for better care? The hostess was an exchange student to the US, so is fluent in English. The villa experience is wonderfully authentic - stone floors included. Breakfasts were good and included Tuscan specialties. We arrived by rental car but had no intention to drive into the City. It was no trouble to drive less than ten minutes to the Scandicci free parking and walk to the tram station, just as if we were local residents. Round trip costs only 3 Euros per person. Bring your own shampoo and don't expect daily housekeeping, but it's a great B & B.
