A truly beautiful, postcard location . The Villa is well appointed and the grounds are beautiful with magnificent views of Florence from this hilltop retreat.
The staff were friendly and the food was above average. This Villa is well out of Florence so a car rental is required unless you want to rely on cabs which can be expensive. Driving in Florence is challenging and will test your nerves.
And now to the mistress of the house who we came to know as Cruella DeVille. Dealing with and relating to guests is not her forte. She is cold, matter a fact, and at no time makes you feel at home. In fact quite the opposite. Her whole motivation appears to be ensuring you are at the Villa as little as possible. So if you are looking for a property to hang out, enjoy the grounds, and just relax this is not for you.
