Highly recommend
A group of 11 of us stayed at the Villa and it was an experience we will never forget. The Villa is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The host was incredible, helping with everything from transportation to food to daily life & tourist attractions. He was super accommodating and provided immediate help to anything that came up. He continued to host us throughout the entire week and interacted with us - providing extra food, entertainment, and alcohol. The villa is about a 5-10 minute drive the Lastra a Signa / Signa train station so it’s super easy to go into Florence and out to other cities afterwards. The views itself at the villa were immaculate, gorgeous view of sunset and Tuscany. The rooms in the house are split between the upper two floors and there is a washer/dryer + game room in the house. I loved it here and can’t wait to come back in the future. 11/10 experience and would highly highly recommend.
