My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at this villa for eight nights in November. Frederica is a kind and generous landlord who went out of her way to ensure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Florence. During the three nights that we spent in the Blue Room, we were treated to ample and delicious breakfasts prepared by Frederica. Both the room and apartment were clean, quiet, and well-equipped. The villa grounds boast an abundance of foliage including olive and lemon trees and even a stand of bamboo! A short (8 minute) walk to the bus stop takes you along a babbling brook and past neighboring villas half-hidden behind stone walls. After the hustle and bustle of Florence, it was nice to return to this calm idyll at the end of the day. We have fond memories of our visit to Florence which was made even more special by the opportunity to meet Frederica and be a guest at this lovely villa. Excellent Lisa Yagi 1/13/2012 9:05:00 AM
We had a wonderful time staying here. Frederica and her family could not have been nicer or more helpful. It was nice to stay in an authentic Tuscan villa away from the hustle and bustle of Florence and still be just a short walk and bus ride from all the action. we stayed in the "Country" room and we had a kitchen and a nice shower. We loved staying here. Excellent Marsha Isbell 10/15/2010 12:31:00 PM
We enjoyed our stay at the Villa, especially cooking in the kitchen, the garden, the short walk from the bus stop and being part of the life in Florence. Thank you for making our time so memorable. Jenny Excellent Jenny Stevens 6/8/2010 8:38:00 PM
