It was a beautiful house in a beautiful setting!

The full Italian experience! The pictures do not do this place justice! Absolutely gorgeous with amazing views of the City of Firenze below. Feels like home away from home.

From the listing, this property is perfect in every way- built in the 1500's and updated into a beautiful vacation villa with stunning views of Florence. However, we never received check-in information from the manager, although we were told it was sent. It took over an hour to get in contact with someone while we waited outside in the heat. Once we finally got in, there was nothing that was very welcoming. The two A/C units (located only in the bedrooms) were not on so the house was unbearably hot. The hot tub was barely lukewarm. The table under the grapevines in the garden had chairs turned up and leaves all over. It was like a house that was closed up and left for a while. In the morning when we went to make coffee, the old stovetop only put out gas with no flame. We found two clickers and both were empty. So there we were in a pretty remote place with no coffee and no means to turn on the stovetop. This villa could be so much more with some effort. In fact, it could be perfect, but instead it left so much to be desired.
