Brava Valentina! We had such an amazing time at Il Valentino we can't wait to come back. This apartment has a great location for the traveler who wants to be in the heart of Florence. You will be a block and a half from the Accademia and a block and a half in the other direction to the Duomo. Restaurants everywhere! The apartment faces an internal courtyard so is very quiet. But you will hear the morning and evening bells from the Campanile - which are spectacular! The whole apartment has such great character with the stone arch, parquet floors and stained glass doors. The bedroom mattress was very comfortable and we slept great. The kitchen was well outfitted so easy to make dinner after visiting the Mercato Centrale or any one of the nearby grocery stores. The host Valentina provided so much great local information about things to do, restaurants and places for an emergency manicure! We just stayed for 4 weeks, but the next time we are in Florence, we hope to stay here again. Grazie mille Valentina!
