The property is truly exceptional, the location couldn’t be better, and the hospitality extended to us by the host was incomparable. The apartment is spacious and full of thoughtful touches, like a bottle of wine on the table, orange juice in the fridge, and scent-free laundry detergent to accommodate our intolerance to scents. The host checked in with us several times to make sure we had everything we needed.
I like to cook and the kitchen had everything I needed, including a garlic grater, lots of pots and pans, an assortment of spices, etc. There were lots of towels in the bathroom, a very comfortable bed with extra blankets, guidebooks and videos, an extra set of keys….and much more.
The location is perfect. It is a short walking distance to everything - all the historic sites, tons of restaurants, two Mercados and all kinds of shopping.
This is a very special property. My husband was invited to exhibit his sculptures at Florence Biennale 2021. Synchronicity is the only explanation for choosing this property which was once the studio/workshop of one of Italy’s most famous sculptors - Giambalogna. Magical!
