I returned to Gabriele's because it feels like home. No matter how jet lagged or tired you are, you sleep well. The bed is so comfortable. The only noise on two nights were sounds from the lightning and thunderstorm, and fireworks that lit up the sky across the river one evening.
Gabriele helped arrange my prenota for my rapid covid test and my 0345 taxi to the airport. He offered another guest travel advice so she could plan her adventures.
If you love fresh tagliatelle like I do, there is no better pasta than Gabriele's! Add in leaves from his basil plants or sage from his plant, along with fresh vegetables and you have a truly special meal. His well eqiupped kitchen makes cooking a pleasure.
If you do not feel like walking, you can take the frequent and convinient #11 bus. I enjoyed the walk past local shops and palazzos to and from the arno.
