My wife and I had high expectations of Francesco's apartment based on the pictures provided online. Our expectations were not only met but greatly exceeded. The pictures cannot truly capture the beauty of the frescos on the vaulted ceilings in each room. They are truly amazing and capture the history of the quarters. Francesco and his father did a wonderful job restoring the place to one of utmost quality and attention to detail. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are modern and accommodating. You are able to sleep with the windows and doors open to the night breezes as they are in a secure courtyard. The apartment itself is very secure.
The apartment is centrally located in Florence on a small side street that allows easy walking access to all the major sites. There is a terrific restaurant steps away and two beautiful wine bars on the street as well. Very quiet and upscale location.
We had a wonderful time and it was a great experience staying in such a historic apartment that captures the essence of Florence. This is not only a place to sleep but it is a place to enjoy.
