My children and grandchildren had a fabulous 2-week stay at the beautiful Il Nibbio. It was well-located for exploring Florence, Sienna, the Tyrrhenian Sea, and all parts in-between. Three of the grandchildren took the high-speed train into Rome and explored, returning the next day. There were many rooms for one to slip away for some solitude, and the pool was so refreshing and restful. The very large kitchen is well-equipped and was a preferred gathering place when we weren't exploring or playing in the pool. The house, being 500 years old, is full of historical artifacts that I found fascinating - like staying in a museum. Thank you, Carlo for precious memories!Carol, from San Jose, CA.
