Meet Simona

Simona and her mother, native to Impruneta, offer a warm, traditional Tuscan dining experience in their countryside home. Simona, fluent in English, will guide you through the day, while her mother, the expert cook, prepares authentic Tuscan meals. Their house is surrounded by typical Tuscan villas with large green spaces and vineyards that exemplify country life. One of the most interesting things about the house is its history: the property has belonged to the host's family for many generations and the property's history is deeply tied to that of the town. Enjoy an immersive experience in Florence with friendly hosts eager to share their stories, food, and the history of their beautiful town.
