Our magical stay in this magnificent mansion is an experience we will always remember. Palazzo Wilson-Gattai transports you to another era with its frescoed ceilings, its lovely period furniture, and its verdant garden complete with flowering trees and resident tortoises. The apartment itself also has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The surrounding quiet, lovely neighborhood includes a convenient supermarket within a few minutes’ walk and many wonderful restaurants. Removed from the hubbub of Florence’s tourist areas, the area is still within easy reach of the major attractions. Our hosts, Francesca and Claudio, couldn’t have been more gracious, greeting us upon our arrival with wine and cheese and offering us coffee on the morning we left. Learning about the history of their beautiful home and surrounded by its many artifacts made our stay in beautiful Florence extra special.
