We enjoyed the cottage and surrounding area very much. The host graciously allowed us to check in early! There’s a wonderful notebook in the cottage with nearby places to visit, recommended restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We rode the TramVia (local train) into Florence several days, which was very convenient. The cottage was clean with plenty of kitchen necessities and lovely bedding. We didn’t end up using the pool - partly due to weather and our busy schedule, but it too was clean and inviting. We would recommend this cozy cottage.
