REVIEW: Salvadonica, Tuscany Italy

Salvadonica is an agroturismo located about 40 minutes away from Florence. It's in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside and is set on acres of land that includes vineyards, a small soccer field, a one hole golf "course", horse and walking trails, a swimming pool, and lots of gorgeous little places to sit and enjoy the view.

The best part about this place was definitely the grounds. There was so much to do, for people with kids or babies... lots of room to walk around, which James loves, and so many different places to sit, both inside and outside. We had a suite with two rooms and James was in the other room. He was a little quieter this time although we still wished we had a sound machine (I had actually ordered a travel one before we left, but it didn't arrive in time). There was also a small kitchen where we could wash bottles and boil water for sterilization.

The downside was that you couldn't eat dinner at the place. There was a decent restaurant about 2 kms away so we ate there three nights in a row. It was ok, but there's something really nice about not having to put James in the car every night and drive somewhere for dinner. The rooms were very spacious but also very basic. We didn't have a kettle, for example, which we did have in Piedmont and made the bottle process much easier. They didn't have as many amenities, but again, the grounds around the B&B were amazing.


Pics coming soon...
