Should you stay at Valentina’s place? YES!! I was greeted with a very warm Tuscan welcome from Valentina & a bottle of lovely wine after a day of traveling. Valentina’s penthouse is literally a 5 minute walk from the Firenze Campo di Marte train station. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe walking in the area of the penthouse - I arrived well after dark. The penthouse is exactly like the pictures, but better. Valentina is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to things to do. She sent me thoughtful messages checking in and letting me know that the Christmas market began just a day ago, and about the lovely farmers market on Tuesdays. Valentina’s communication was intuitive & impeccable. The penthouse is what I like to call “Italian Chic”. It’s well appointed. From earplugs, eye masks, local wine & and thoughtful touches throughout the penthouse, Valentina didn’t miss a beat! I felt so at home at Valentina’s place. It’s more than a penthouse, it’s a very lovely home with beautiful energy & lots of light. I throughly loved enjoying the 360 degree views - being able to watch the sunrise from a very comfortable bed was amazing! You can see the Duomo from the beautiful veranda. One aspect I especially enjoyed about the penthouse is that it’s a short walk to the center. It was welcoming to leave the crowds & head for the penthouse and unwind for the day. I also enjoyed getting a daily walk in after the gelato, wine & delicious Italian cuisine. Treat yourself! Enjoy Tuscany & Florence at Valentina’s place. You won’t regret it.
