The perfect haven from summer in Florence! We absolutely loved Alessandra’s apartment. It’s gorgeously decorated, to a very high standard. Lovely rain shower, effective AC, sweet little patio at the back (this is shared with neighbours but this didn’t bother us at all). The apartment is on the ground floor, so even without the AC it was cool and as it’s at the back of the property, it is quiet - which is what we needed after a day exploring the city.
It was an easy journey from the airport - we took the tram and then it was a 20 min walk with luggage. Easy to find and easy check in. The flat is just around the corner from the Piazza Santo Spirito which is full of lively bars and a good place to watch the evening world go by. It’s also a short walk to the Boboli and Bardini gardens which were a great place to while away a hot afternoon. Bardini gardens in particular have amazing views.
There is a great list of restaurant recommendations in the flat - both of those we tried were delicious and well priced, as well as being easy to get a table.
Thank you!!
