A stay at the Fiorentinis easily rivals if not supersedes that of a hotel. A warm decor, cleanliness, privacy and Wifi are included in the experience, but what makes the stay that much more gratifying is their authenticity. When initially greeted you are met with intelligence, respectfulness and kindness. Despite my inability to mutter a word of Italian, many moments and laughs were shared sitting at the kitchen table discussing everything from current events to hair dye. I will echo the sentiments of many before me: it feels like you're part of this amazing family. Can't forget about the dogs Sheila and Tiffany, who are equally as charming.

During my stay I was in desperate search of a stylish hat but couldn't find one. Their parting gift to me: an exquisitely snazzy fur hat, perfect for winters in Canada. This simply attests to their sincerity. They pride themselves on ensuring service excellence -- without an ounce of doubt this is achieved.

Many thanks again to Ale, Ari & Nic. To all those reading, I highly recommend renting it!

Ciao :-)
