Description
Hello!
We are an italian-swiss couple, Silvia & Daniel. We live in Tuscany with our daughter Tanja (born in 2020). We stay in a beautiful country house only a few km from Florence, one of Europe most amazing city. Our place is located in the hills surrounded by forests, olive trees and vineyards. Each season have something special to offer.The view is wonderful and you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The nearby authentic small borgo of Santa Brigida and the Monastery of "Madonna del Sasso" add something unique to this area.
