We had a lovely stay in Florence, and it was made all the better by staying in such a fabulous apartment. The flat has been beautifully renovated, to a really high standard, and really felt like a home away from home. There were some lovely touches as well, such tea, coffee, biscotti and crackers left for us, as well as a lovely bottle of Chianti. Yum. The views from the apartment are simply stunning, with the whole city spread about before you. It feels like a ‘Room With a View’!

The apartment is on the top floor, but there is a small lift, which helps, followed by a small number of stairs. Perfect for me, as I was almost 6 months pregnant! (No Chianti for me!). There are some great restaurants nearby, as well as a small supermarket, and two bakeries so getting provisions is very easy.

Upon arrival we were met by Leonardo and a friend (who spoke great English), who gave us the keys and showed us around the apartment. They also let us check out a bit later on the last day which was very helpful!

The whole area is very quiet as well, as it’s out of the hubbub of the main city, but only about 10 mins walk and you are in the thick of things. All in all I can’t imagine a better place to stay!
