June 2015
You cannot fail to be bowled over by the breathtaking view on arrival at Villa Joya. Situated in the hills outside Florence you can see the beautiful Tuscan countryside for miles. The villa itself is spacious and achingly stylish with all the amenities you could wish for. It was hot in early June and it was a joy to sunbathe and swim in the beautiful pool then explore all the delights of Florence, only 10 minutes drive, later in the day when it cooled down a bit. The fabulous barbecue area was also a hit when we felt like staying in. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough, it is just gorgeous!
