Diana kept us posted about options and possibilities for activities in Florence from the day we booked our apartment via a newsletter. Thus, by the time we got to Giglio we already had some ideas about what we wanted to do -and Diana and her team (Francesca and Melania) were most helpful to make them become a reality.

The listing was 100% accurate and the location fantastic. We spent a wonderful two weeks there and would go back without a doubt. Still, we missed a washing machine (although Diana offered an alternative) and a firmer mattress.

Two words of warning for reduced-mobility guests:

- the apartment is located in a quiet, narrow (but beautiful and totally safe) street, so a taxi will NOT drop you off at the door
- the bed is in an upper level (just as you can see in the photographs), so this apartment is not for you if you have difficulties climbing up and down the stairs

Everything in the apartment is same-as-new, there is plenty of storage space and thw WiFi is great. We couldn't pick any English-speaking TV stations, but the TV set is quite new (it does have a HDMI port), so you can bring along your Chromecast and watch your own content.

Note that this apartment is not rented by an individual (Diana and her team operate 40 apartments in the area) but I didn't see that as a problem -quite the opposite: one of them is always available in case you need them via mobile phone, Whatsapp or Telegram.

In summary, the only thing that separates this apartment from a 5-star rating is a washing machine (for long stays such as ours) and a firmer mattress, but otherwise the experience was great.
