Karen and Raffaele were the most gracious hosts! After a tiring trip, their smiling faces and positive aura were a breath of fresh air. They had the maps, notes and suggestions ready and our snacks prepared inside their very organized kitchen (which was a bonus). Plus their cute home was soooo pretty and comfy. But the real winner for us was the relaxing balcony with a very nice view of typical Florence homes. This was where my husband and I spent the night just drinking wine and relaxing. Highly recommended!!!
