Dear all,
at the end of May, our family (2 adults, 2 children and the dog) stayed in Adrianas lovely house for two weeks. And we thoroughly enjoyed it being there. Plenty of room for everyone, all nicely decorated with Adrianas roses, great bathrooms and kitchen, wonderfully furnished bedrooms.
Getting there was no problem at all, since Adriana sent uns very good descriptions before (car is needed though, since there are no buses or trains going up the mountains).
Adriana lives next doors and always had time for us, if there was something to ask and since her English is excellent, communication was no problem at all.
The children loved the pool, and the area near the house is great for mountainbiking (downhill trails within 20 minutes driving) and walking (national parks nearby with wonderfull paths and views).
Shopping is no problem, supermarkets in Londa (4,5 km) or Dicomano (bit further, keep an eye on the funny traffic signs :-)).
Driving to Florence takes a bit, but there is a train station in the next town and the train takes you right into the center of Florence.
If you like motor bikes, you should go to the Piaggio museum in Pontedera (1 hour drive) which is fun to visit.
Adriana gave us a list of the best restaurants in the region which was a great help, since there are so many. She also offered to make a reservation, our Italian is very bad.
Surely we could (and WOULD) recommend this lovely place to anyone.
Thanks, Adriana, we had a great time.
