Does not have a pool, as listed, but does have a hot tub. Hosts, especially Davide, were great and extremely helpful. Noisy outside dur to street traffic, but we got used to it and it faded. Well kept vrbo. Good price

Great House - Amazing Location
The property and house are spacious, clean, private and comfortable. Great outdoor space to unwind after a long day.
The location is the highlight of this listing. Close enough to all of Florence’s attractions- but far enough to enjoy nature. If you don’t mind biking or walking - this listing is ideal.
