As everyone else has commented, the apartment is precisely as shown in the photos - light, airy, beautifully furnished and with everything you need (tiny but superbly equipped kitchen; hairdryer; iron; washing machine ...). It was immaculately clean, and the welcome team (Daniela and Maurizio) were in touch to welcome us on the day and make sure that we were happy - which we were. Thank you Maurizio for your flexibility with our check-out time.

Alfredo has two apartments, each on the fourth floor of this stunning medieval tower. The lift is very handy! This apartment (Ramaglianti) is at the rear of the tower, with views across rooftops towards the Pitti Palace. But what makes it so airy is that you have great views on three sides of the apartment! The other thing to mention is that because the flat is at the rear of the tower and on the fourth floor, you are instantly lifted up out of the hustle and bustle of the street below. It is an amazingly relaxing place, yet located just metres from the Ponte Vecchio. The other inhabitants of the tower (mostly permanent residents) were friendly and quiet.

Maurizio offered us a brief glance in the other apartment overlooking Borgo San Jacopo (Belfredelli apartment), which is equally immaculate, full of lovely books, and with a slightly quirkier floorplan. It has fewer windows, but a bigger kitchen.

We won't hesitate to return. Thank you Alfredo!
