Gherardo’s place is exactly as advertised - fantastic!
Located in Oltrarno, which literally translates to ‘the other side’, it is less touristy and filled with some of the best local cuisine we had in our entire Italy trip!
Gherardo’s place is on one of the main streets that directly connects to the Florence city centre where more of touristy hustle and bustle lies by crossing over the bridge and canal.
The place itself has all the amenities you would want in your actual home- a lot we didn’t even have the time to use! The washer and dryer were such a nice added touch. There is no AC but the accommodation is on the ground floor and the place stays very cool so it wasn’t an issue at all for us. The location is very safe.
Gherardo was a fantastic host, he gave us a full run through on check in and even stayed up late as we had a very late flight into Florence the night we checked in. He gave us the best recommendations and the food was incredible and so affordable at these places!
Would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Florence!
