How do I add more stars?
Anna Rita, Catarina, and the home were amazing. I planned this trip before COVID and had to reschedule multiple times before finally getting to Florence. Anna Rita accommodated every step of the way. When we finally arrived, Catarina arranged a car to pick us up and greeted us at the house. Later, she even found inexpensive and quick pharmacies for the COVID tests needed to return home. I can't speak more highly of the service and attention we received.
As for the house, it was spotless and looked just like the pictures. It's also in an amazing location. The Duomo, Uffizi, Pitti Palace, the Boboli Garden, and Ponte Vecchio can be reached by foot in 5 to 15 minutes. The home is steps from a great restaurant, one of the few rooftop bars we could find, one of the best gelaterias in the city (we tried most of them), and a great burger place for a change of pace. It is a quick walk to every major attraction but not in the middle of the crowds. I found the house by luck but if I had known the city, I would have picked the same location.
If you visit, enjoy the home but please don't schedule it when I return to the city. I would love to stay there again!
