A wonderful refuge. Florence is gorgeous but can be very crowded so if you like to escape the crowds this is a great place. Comfortable, quiet even though on a busy road, with lovely huge outdoor space. Everything you need is there bar a sofa, but good number of chairs inside and out. We loved it. Don't miss the Strozzi gardens nearby and for coffee follow the wonderful old city walls down to the river where you can sit over the Arno and look back at the city. Paola is lovely, an excellent communicator and very helpful.
