I stayed here for nearly a month. Mattia’s place is in a wonderful location. Minutes to the Piti Palace and just around the corner from Boboli Gardens, one of the treasures of Florence. Wonderful neighborhood restaurants and fascinating streets to explore, far enough away from central Florence to avoid the ocean of tourists. Mattia is a lovely guy, very responsive and immediately helpful with any problems. Couldn’t recommend this place more if you want a place that’s far enough to be an authentic Italian neighborhood, close enough to easily walk to all the major sites and museums.
