Mario is the BEST host I have ever had. He invited us over for dinner, picked us up, cooked for us, gave us a tour of his beautiful home, provided us with more than we could have imagined, and was quick to respond to us. He made us feel so welcome and even spent another half day taking us around florence and telling us about his city. I felt like royalty while staying in Florence and Mario did more than I could have ever asked for. If you want an amazing stay in Florence, stay at Mario's.
