Overall: Our overall experience was very positive. We had a great time whether we were relaxing by the villa or exploring a city or town on a day trip. The villa offers plenty of space for a group to relax and enjoy either quiet time, boisterous togetherness, or both! Enjoyed Most: The views, the sunsets, the quiet privacy, and the opportunity to live as an Italian for two weeks. Enjoyed Least: The WiFi was out the entire time we were there. Editor's Note: The WiFi was unavailable due to a storm; full service was restored the week following. The owner reimbursed 100 Euros for the inconvenience. Surrounding Area: The people, the history, the food, the wine, the scenery. Nearby Events or Locales: Rufina. It was not within walking distance at all. Tips or Restaurants: There is a bottega on Monte Giovi that is phenomenal for the food and the views. The road up, however, is very rough and rugged, but if you take it slowly, it is well worth the drive for the experience! Many of the things that others suggested bringing were provided (toilet paper, dish soap, etc.). I might suggest beach towels unless you want to pay 7 Euros per towel. Towels are not included. Directions: We did use a GPS but only for help getting out of Florence from the airport since there was a lot of traffic. Check In Out: Sonia at reception is awesome! She is very pleasant and eager to help. We read that the deposit had to be in cash but they took a credit card for our deposit.
