Beyond a Tuscan Dream...
I cannot say enough about our stay in Cristina's place. From the very moment we booked we were given so many great tips and details of things to do in the area which only added to our excitement to experience this Tuscan village. Driving in it was already dark and still we could already see how truly special it was there. The cozy streets lined in beautiful brick and stone made us feel like we stepped back hundreds of years....artistic paper lanterns in the shapes of birds and fish draped loosely above our footpath made for a magical walk to our home for the next four days. Pictures do this place no justice, it is such an incredible blend of modern all the while retaining incredible original pieces of the past left untouched. Fresh flowers were placed throughout the house and a bottle of Chianti on the table, small touches that were unexpected and beyond appreciated. The best part was waking up in the morning and being stunned by the spectacular views, I actually ran and woke up my husband to come see and we both stood there silent, a great moment we won't forget :) The village was beautiful, restaurants great (if you want a local amazing steak get the Florentine Steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina) you can walk to N Granaio restaurant right up the road!) It is a beautiful drive to many different sights and plenty to do! We hope to come back for an even longer stay someday and I highly recommend visiting and staying here. Thank you Cristina for sharing your beautiful home with us!
