Absolute perfection!
Our stay at Casa Desideri was an absolute dream. My husband, 22yo daughter, 18yo son and I stayed here for 4 nights after spending 3 nights in Venice (took the train from Venice to Florence and rented a car), and we loved every minute! The views, the decor, the spacious rooms and wide-open windows and doors on every side were exactly what we had envisioned for our Tuscan experience. It was very easy to reach by car and well-positioned for day trips to Florence (we drove to Empoli and easily took the train into the city), Pisa/the coast, Vinci and others. A grocery store is conveniently located about 5 minutes away. Kitchen very well-stocked with pots, pans and utensils for cooking. Swimming pool was a lovely extra and had the best view of all!
Our host, Simone, could not have been more accommodating. Sent us a comprehensive brochure about the property and nearby restaurants, etc., and was available via What's App when we had questions. We easily checked in and out with the code to a masterlock at the gate to the property that contained the keys to the house and a fob for the gate. The rental is the back portion of a larger home divided into apartments, but it is designed perfectly to maximize privacy and quiet--we never saw another person our entire stay. The parking is private and separate from that for the other residents, and the yard and patios are well-enclosed by shrubbery and vines that keep the entire area private. Very thoughtfully designed. Thank you, Simone!
