    We live in the countryside, in San Casciano VP 20 minutes from the beautiful Florence. San Casciano V.P. is a quite town where you can find everything: public library, shops, markets, cinema, theatre, swimming pool, gym and has a good bus connection to Firenze.

    Accommodation

    we have a fairly large house and you can have your own room.
    We don't smoke and I'd like to have a girl who doesn't smoke.
    We could cook together, I prepare many vegetables but also pasta and meat, I always try to prepare light dishes without too much fat for our health even if we are very fond of ice cream and desserts.
    I will be very pleased if you want to cook yourself.
    Sometimes we have friends at dinner
