The apartment is a beautiful piece of a Florentine palace right in the middle of the city. only a few minutes stroll from the majestic Duomo. The host Fransesco's hospitality and responsiveness as well as all the modern comforts cleverly embedded in this artistic old palatial building provided us a superb holiday experience that added to the cultural and culinary delights of Florence. When you stay here you are not only in the middle of all the places of interest in the city, you also are taken care of by the hospitality of a wonderful Italian family. We look forward to returning again to Florence and this apartment in the future. An absolute gem of a place that we highly recommend to Airbnb customers.
