My son Jack and I loved loved loved this apartment! The apartment itself was everything we were looking forward to and more, and the location - less than a block from the Ponte Vecchio, on the north bank of the Arno River - was AMAZING!
Bruno's son Luca was so kind when we checked in! He gave us several restaurant recommendations (the Florentine steak at Cucina Torcicorda and the ravioli at Tamero were our top two dining highlights!!!), and he suggested we explore the south bank of the Arno, highlighting some shopping areas. We also found the most inventive and flavorful and delicious gelatos on that side of the river, at Gelateria della Passera.
I was sad to leave Fiorenze yesterday - I think a part of my heart will always be there. The refuge and resting place that was Bruno's apartment was an enormous part of what made this trip so special.
Grazie mille to Bruno and Luca!
