Charming with Gorgeous Views - Do it!
This was a “friends trip” our first together and it was just perfect. We came for the “experience “ and we got our money’s worth. The scenic photos paled in comparison to the reality of the views. The villa is pretty and quaint old world charm.
Jane the owner, was very responsive and even coordinated a wine tasting at the castle (do this!), a personal cook and stocked the fridge (do this too). Be sure to ask to arrange for things you might want ready for you when you arrive (paper products, napkins, etc). She’ll gladly answer any questions.
Jane was on holiday during our stay and her friend Martyn and his wife took care of us beyond belief. Including saying up after midnight to guide us in by flashlight - not kidding. Long story he can share. Martyn and his wife shared their area knowledge and hooked us up with a charming restaurant in Rufina - we were the only non-locals…just what we wanted.
Pontassieve train station is nearby we drove there and we took train in to Florence. We also shopped at co-op which we easily navigated.
We’re still talking about the experience weeks later. Highly recommend.
