Pietro's apartment was the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful city of Florence. The neighbourhood is across the river from the busy historical centre, so it is peaceful but still with a great atmosphere, particularly in the evenings in one of the many fantastic restaurants in the area.
You can easily walk to all major sights, museums, markets etc. while being able to remove yourself from the hustle and bustle when you need to.
The apartment itself is very charming, in an old building with beautiful vaulted ceilings and it is blissfully cool on the hottest of days. There were two of us staying, myself and my Mum, so we used two bedrooms and had lots of space to unwind after a long day.
What really set this stay apart was the attention to detail from Pietro as a host. We received a warm welcome after a long day of travelling and Pietro gave us many recommendations for things to do, local restaurants, how to get around etc. This was so helpful for first time visitors and we had some gorgeous meals thanks to his suggestions.
We very much enjoyed our stay and would come back on our next visit to Florence!
