The views of rolling Tuscan hills were as glorious as any film of Tuscany provides, the villa housed 14 comfortably with rooms to spare, the kitchen came stocked with everything that was needed to prepare and enjoy large family meals, the pool was as much of a blessing as the AC that covered the entire home, and the access to dining, groceries, cafes and bakery’s in Certaldo was as convenient as being back in the US. The only issue was in communicating with our hosts as their English was better than our Italian.
There is so much to see within a days drive that we will hopefully return someday and bounce around to the numerous local vineyards and towns.
