Pamela, a young architect, has created an elegant, comfortable space in this beautifully renovated 16th century palazzo, a marvelous place to 'come home to.' She has managed to retain the historic architecture, but added modern, tasteful conveniences (including a good shower and practical kitchen!).
I stayed for three weeks, and relished my time there: convenient location, just minutes from the Duomo, but very quiet; a large, airy living room that includes the original tiled stove (now used for storage); good art on the walls, a terrific collection of books on Florence and the Renaissance, and good suggestions on restaurants and sightseeing. And, Pamela and her family were very helpful on whatever big or small questions arose. I cannot imagine a better place to stay...no matter what your reason for being in Florence.
