“Stupendously beautiful”
This place is a hidden gem! Granted it was hard to find (thus, it was "hidden"), but oh so worth it once you made it up that winding road. We had rented a car to drive through northern Italy, so we didn't feel the need to stay in the city (Florence). The area is beautiful, and the view from the pool down into Vecchio is spectacular. The restaurant was expensive, but truly a gourmand's delight (pretty much everything contained olive oil, including dessert!). Our room was such a relief after staying in cramped quarters near Venice, for more money to boot, Villa Campestri was like an oasis, and it was HUGE. If I travel to the area again, I would definitely stay there. Two nights was not enough!
