It was more beautiful than I expected and our group was most comfortable with the living arrangements on two levels. We ate as a group in the dining room and outside in the patio. I loved the swimming pool. It was cool, clean and brand new. Roberta, our contact person at the main house, was very helpful and lovely to do business with.
The house, the grounds, and the location.
We had some trouble learning how to get an outside line from the telephone but resolved the issue with several attempts.
The villa's location off the superstrada made it very well situated for day trips to Florence and Pisa. Shopping was also nearby. The train station was also nearby for when we wanted to leave the cars at home.
