We stayed in the Mars room of Fabio's B&B for our honeymoon. We started our trip to Italy in Florence, so arriving to the romantic, comfortable, and beautiful Mars room was a welcomed start after many hours of travel! The bed was the most comfortable of our entire stay - thankful to have had 6 nights of it! The breakfast is so very delicious - that apple cake!! I know that contributed to at least a few of the pounds I gained while in Italy ;) The location is perfect. We are so so SO thankful that we stayed on the side of the Arno that we did. We would do that a thousand times over. Initially, we were hesitant and wondering if we should stay on the opposite side of the river closest to the attractions, but the crowds - oh my word. And we weren't even there during the "busy season." When staying at Fabio's you're no more than 15 -20 min walk (max) from everything you'll want to see in Florence. You'll appreciate the extra walk to walk off all the yummy pastas and gelato. Fabio's side is definitely the "local" side of Florence. You'll find more authentic experiences near Fabio's, fabulous restuarants serving food authentic to the area, rather than catering to tourists and their deep pockets. Do make a reservation at Osteria Santo Spirito. 5 min walk from Fabio's and one of the best meals of our trip. Thank you Fabio for fabulous accomodations! You made our first Airbnb experience a huge success!
