Federico’s place is incredible, and even the beautiful pictures don’t do it justice. It is in the perfect location in Oltrarno, just a few steps from Santo Spirito piazza, which is truly the heart of Florence. Despite being so close to Santo Spirito, with its wonderful market each morning and fantastic restaurants, Federico’s place is very quiet and we spent a good bit of time enjoying wine from his vineyard on the balcony. Elly is an amazing hostess who made us feel at home, offered great recommendations, and called a taxi for us when we sadly had to leave. Truly an exceptional stay.
