Overall: We had a delightful time. The location of the property was excellent, with easy access, yet remote enough to be out of the "hustle and bustle" of a main thoroughfare. Enjoyed Most: The porch with large table and comfortable chairs was a highlight of this property. Providing shade in a peaceful setting, we were able to be outside, yet very comfortable. We ate, read, played games and had conversations on this porch. Had we been required to be indoors, it would have not been nearly as nice. Enjoyed Least: Two things 1) the beds...the mattresses were hard and uncomfortable 2) the grounds were not properly manicured...weeds grew up around the beautiful flowers and took away from the overall experience that could have easily been maintained. Surrounding Area: Wonderful area! Easy access to Certaldo by car. The view of the local vineyards was gorgeous. We were not disturbed (other than by barking dogs) and felt very safe thanks to the nightly monitor by a security firm. Nearby Events or Locales: Sciano was within walking distance...about a 2 km walk. Tips or Restaurants: The villa was ready when we arrived. We took a surge protector allowing us to plug one European transformer adapter into the wall and then the surge protector into that. This allowed us ample space for our many American phones, iPads, etc. A stop to the grocery store in Certaldo allowed us to stock up quickly with essential food. I would also suggest a plug-in insect repellent for the bedrooms. This worked fantastically. Directions: We did use a GPS, but the directions provided by the villa were sufficient.
