This was the BEST property I have ever stayed. We enjoyed our Christmas holiday in this beautiful and private villa. There was plenty of room for a family of 6. We had such a wonderful time. It has everything you need and very close to everything. We traveled from the U.S. to b stay there and it was worth every penny. Short excursion into Firenze. Secluded and safe. fo
Ciao a tutti! I'm Costanza and I'm born in Florence and live here with my partner Knut who is Norwegian and our wonderful little viking Leonard. I love cooking, agriculture, nature and meeting new people from all over the world:). I have always breathed a wonderful atmosphere in the big kitchen, around the marble table where my grandmothers and grandfathers were used to cook together delicious meals. I have a degree in Agricultural sciences and tecnologies from teh University of Florence. Me and my sister Serena give cooking classes teaching Florentine cuisine. Serena prepare wonderful vegetarian and vegan meal for our guests and she is a Naturopath. Knut is a food and wine lover and he exports hand made italian food to Norway. My father all around the Villa has a wonderful little farm that provide fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs and eggs to our guests: he is passionate with agriculture, history and arts. My mother coordinates all of us...she is our "shining sun". We'ld love to meet you!
