As someone who loves staying in the center of a city, I wasn't too thrilled at my husbands suggestion to stay in a vineyard in the country. After seeing the place, my opinion completely changed. True, it's a 20-30 minute drive from Florence, but once you lay eyes on the place, you don't care at all. We stayed in Giotto and the views from the back were breathtaking. The bed was comfy, the kitchen had everything that we needed, doing laundry was an additional benefit (they even provide the soap). I'm very caution entering a place and looking through cabinets, always afraid of what I might find. This place was very clean. We were able to cook a nice meal to save a few $$ and just relax. The owner was so nice and obviously proud of his hotel and vineyard. He answered our questions and gave us a bit of history of the place. It was the first place we told our family and friends about when we returned home.
