Upon arrival we were greeted by Caterina who took us on a tour of the Villa. The views were stunning and the Villa was beautifully decorated. We were visiting as a multigenerational family of 9 and there was plenty of space and accommodations for everyone. The Villa was an easy walk to Fiesole and there was a bus stop very close to by to take us into Florence. Caterina was available throughout the entire stay if we needed anything. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend this Villa.
