Overall: We had a really pleasant break - Sole 2 was so comfortable and peaceful - and had excellent outdoor flow with outside dining facilities and a great uncrowded swimming pool. The surroundings were so lovely. Enjoyed Most: Probably the bedrooms and outdoor dining table - and also the outstanding views and lovely countryside! Enjoyed Least: Possibly the driveway entrance which is sometimes a little difficult to negotiate as it opens onto a narrow road and a blind bend fairly close by. Surrounding Area: Lovely little villages and beautiful outlook onto surrounding valleys and hilltops. There are nearby vineyards and lovely quaint architectural church and castle structures. Nearby Events or Locales: Barberino Val D'Elsa was nearest but probably outside our walking distance. Tavarnelle Val di Pesa was the nearest town with a good supermarket but that was further off still. Tips or Restaurants: Future renters don't need to bring a thing - although its probably important to have a car to get around. Just to say Florence is very easy to get to by car - especially the Piazzale Michelangelo where the parking is free, the centre of Florence is near by, and the view over the city is spectacular! Directions: We used Google maps on the iPhone - it was all we needed! Check In Out: We felt our check-in/check-out host was really good efficient, friendly but not intrusive. He was happy to accommodate last minute changes on our checkout time - was very good.
