Staying at the Villa Saladin felt like walking into a beautiful dream. From the moment Marco picked us up at the airport and drove us through the Tuscan countryside we felt at peace. Pulling up to the property through the olive and cypress trees felt like truly coming home. The grounds are lovely and quiet and the Beatrice Apartment was incredible. The 500 year old property has rich history (don't forget to ask Perla to give you the tour!) and every morning we awoke to the sounds of chattering birds outside our balcony. If you are a birder, be sure to bring your binoculars! Perla cooked us an amazing meal of rabbit with crispy potatoes and two types of bruschetta served with local wine. One of the best meals I had in all of Italy. The apartment had everything we needed--a mini fridge, a stove, laundry, and plenty of room for storage. The villa is a short walk to the enchanting village of Impruneta with sweet little shops and restaurants. We walked there each day and took the bus into Florence. (Not far, only a 20-30 minute ride.) I researched dozens and dozens of villas before settling on Saladini, and I am SO glad we chose this place!
